track numbers in front of song names in windows music library, windows 7

Ric.......i think you might have done it!!!!!  So far so good but lets wait a bit....cause it took it 6 minutes to go back last time.   If the "rename" stays.....my guess this was one of the frigging changes in the updates.  I tell you......every time i do windows updates i get something screwed up.    Grrrrrrr

Well.....so far the "rename" has taken and put song into its proper alpha space.  Now.......my question to you.  These changes we made.....are they going to effect anything else i need to know about?  Ie: downloads from amazon music, downloads from www, pics, etc

Thank you thank you, thatnk you!!!!    It worked!!   Now......which one of those options did this and now i,m afraid to do updates......cause all this happened after the last updates.   In addition to this snafu......the songs have doubled and sometimes tripled.  I uncked "add local media files to library when played".  Was this correct?

Good -Yes - about the only thing that really needs checking is the top box in 'privacy' - it can't find CD info without that (+ clocks and maybe volume levelling). Doubling and tripling can usually be put right but again it's finding out why. Do you want to check through a few things?

I read on a forum that wmp will put a song on its list every time you listen to it if the particular box was checked.  But yes.......if you have time we could check some things out.  I often purchase music thru amazon and then export it over to wmp.

Certainly - usual causes of duplication are doubled locations either because of something like iTunes or an external drive (or onedrive) - sometimes in W7 they may be files that have been moved and can no longer be played from WMP even though they still show. Have you got any that fit the last item?
