Your music is not IN Media Player. Media Player's library just knows
where the files are located on your hard drive.

Chances are that many files are already located in the My Music folder
inside My Documents.

How are you searching for music files with Windows Explorer? Are you
using the "pictures, music or video" search option?

I to am having the same issue, when I try to locate my music files in
explorer I cannot find them in my music or any other location, I asked some
one about this and they said it was because the music files aren't active, is
this correct?

I am looking for all files in explorer music pictures etc as I am trying to
convert the WMA files to MP3 to transfer onto my PSP. Any help would be
appreciated!!

The most likely 'other' place is the Shared Music folder, but running
Search (for music files) from the Start menu should find them as quickly
as any other file.

I haven't a clue what 'active' means, but because they are just *files*
then they should be easy to find.

Here's some things to try that are WMP-related:

1.Right click on a track in your library and choose "Open containing
folder". That will show you which folder on disk that track is in. You
should in theory find many more nearby.
2. Look in Tools > Options > Library [tab] > Monitor Folders [button] -
that shows where WMP is looking for music file updates
3. Look in Tools > Options > Rip Music [tab] - that shows where it puts
music files that you have ripped from CD.

Ah mike thanks for this, will try it tonight when I get home from work thanks
fro the help and advise

edd!!
