Sorry Ric ......send me the link again. Yes, all music is out of "my music" on computer. Wmp still has all songs listed, but when tried to play any it would not. Got error message. I have restarted computer.

I have track numbers in front of some of my song names (not title) in my music libarary. How do I get rid of them. They are not in the "name" in WMP. I try to right click and rename and that doesn't work. I try going through properties into details and delete numbers in front of name, but it doesn't stay changed. Tried to edit in WMP and that doesn't work. Nothing I do permenantly changes the name (not title).
Help!!!!!!

This shows you where you go to delete db files (just the files not folders)
