Windows Media Player can accommodate CDs and MP3 players
Windows Media Player (WMP) has been an integral part of Microsoft Windows operating systems, supporting many types of media ranging from audio to video. The WMP application adds versatility and expands the usefulness of your personal computer (PC), which increases the overall value. In addition to playing your media files, WMP also manages your media files. Similar to how CD/DVD towers hold and organize hundreds of discs, WMP can also hold hundreds of songs and albums. WMP can also get rid of unwanted songs with the click of a mouse button, by removing them from your playlists and library. There are times, however, when you wish to restore deleted media to WMP and that process is very easy.
Instructions
1. Open WMP. Click on the WMP icon located in "All Programs" on the Start menu. Alternatively, find the WMP icon in the "Quick Launch" toolbar, located on the taskbar by the Start button.
2. Access the "Library." Click on the "File" menu at the top of WMP. Select "Add to Library" and wait for the dialog box labeled as such to pop open.
3. Restore files. Click the "Advanced Options" button in the "Add to Library" dialog box. In the "Monitored Folders" column ensure the folder containing your original music is selected, which is indicated in the "Type" column as "Rip Folder."
Glance below the "Monitored Folders" section and ensure a check-mark is populated for "Add files previously deleted from library." Click the "OK" button and wait for the "Add to Library by Searching Computer" dialog box to open.
4. Monitor progress. In the "Add to Library by Searching Computer" dialog box look at the "Progress" bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below that, monitor the "Files found:" and "Files added:" counts.
After the progress displays "Search Completed" look to see if "Files Added:" is greater than "0" (zero), indicating files deleted from WMP have been restored.
