Troubleshooting Music Library

Song is in the Music Library, but it will not play: There are no actual files in the Music Library. The track titles are links to the actual file, which is stored elsewhere on the hard drive. If the root filename has been changed, then the file in the Music Library has lost its path. If you change the root file name, then you will need to re-add that file to your Music Library.

When song is playing, there is no sound: this is most likely due to your volume control settings. You should check all of your volume settings to make sure none of them are muted. Go to Programs/Accessories/Multimedia/Volume Control.

If the settings are not muted, there may be a problem with your Recording Gain Control (found under Programs/Accessories/Multimedia/volume control, options, properties, recording) setting. Some systems default to "Line-inö which is incorrect. Choose either "CD" or "Mix-All" and click OK to save the changes. You will then need to re-record the song.

How to change the music file registration: there are two ways to change your music file player registration. You can either reinstall the player of your choice, or you can do the following:

• Open Windows Explorer.

• Click on the View menu, then Options.

• Then click on the tab File Types. A list of registered file types will be shown.

• Go down the list and click on the music file type. It should show a MUSICMATCH logo.

• You can either remove it, or edit it to use a different player.

• To remove it, click the Remove button.

• To edit it, click on the Edit button. Then click on Open in the text box, and click Edit. Type in your player, or use the Browse button to select you favorite player.
