Wow it works, thanks! I had this problem with WMP 12 in Win7. I was going to have to resort to iTunes (ugh), but now I can keep WMP. I just wish they would let us go back to WMP 11.

Thanks!

This doesn’t Help me, You see, It finds the files and i just doesn’t add it to the windows media player 11 model. it works for the 10 version, but not 11. when i upgrade, it usually adds the files from my previous library, but didn’t, i went to add them and it added everything BUT what i wanted…

I went through all the steps only to find nothing but an empty skin folder in that directory. there were no files that even remotely seemed like they might be database files for windows media player 11 just an empty folder. I know exactly were my music files are & i keep trying to add them to my library but no success. the last time I had this problem my computer rebooted after an update & it moved all my music from my users folder to my the all users folders, but this is not the case this time. dose Microsoft just hate hate me or something?

I went in and disabled sharing via Windows Services. Then restarted WMP. All my folder monitors came right back up. I have not renabled sharing yet but I hope it will work again. BTW I had just swapped out a drive and replaced it with a bigger drive prior to this problem.
