    Hey guys,

    I recently reformatted my harddrive because it messed up, deleting my windows media player library. I have all my songs organized into different subfolders alphabetically, within my My Music folder.

    When I asked WMP to monitor My Music, it only sees about 1200 of the 2000 songs. If I play the songs individually, it will add them into the library, but I shouldn't have to do that. Any suggestions?

    WMP11 takes some time to recognize all your songs. Have it stay open a while and it will eventually catch up with everything. This is especially true if you stopped the search of your library halfway.
