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

Hi Cybershyguy.

This is what's happening:  On my computer:  If I put 5 folders under "music", under "libaries" and some of these folders have the same song in them, WMP picks up all of the songs in ALL the folders and puts them in its library, thus reflecting duplicates in WMP library.  Stay with me..............If I move four of the folders out of the "music" catagory and put them under "documents", under "libraries" on my computer and leave just one folder under the "music" catagory, WMP only reflects the songs in that folder in its library.....thus no duplicates.   The problem is:   what if I wanted to put other songs outside of the one folder into wmp........I would have to open another folder with those songs excluding the ones already in the one folder.        Did you get this???

To summarize:  WMP picks up ALL songs in ALL folders that are in the "music" catagory on the computer.  If there are duplicate songs in these folders, it causes duplicates on WMP side.

FYI - Network warning: There is another computer with the same IP address.

Yep. That means there is more than one computer in the house trying to access the Modem/WiFi. Windose is not very good at keeping them all separate.

In our house, at any given moment, we have 5 or 6 computers using the 'network'. Oops, wait, I lied. A half dozen computers and two printers. Windose gets confused and tells us, "There is another computer with the same IP address."

Sometimes a hot boot (Restart) works. Sometimes a Power Reset (pull the plug and wait two minutes) of the WiFi Modem works.

No need to worry. But you can be annoyed to the full extent of your ability. :-D

  I moved my music back to documents and renamed them beginning with music

Aw, c'mon. You gotta share. You renamed them beginning with music?

Each Filename now begins with 'music'?

Seriously, I am only asking. I just want to get on the same page you are on.

So Janet? I just gotta ask: Could there might maybe be 5 individual Folders? In these Folders there are Files (the songs are files, my friend. Just sayin'.)

Yes, you do want them to stay there.

WMP has a mind of its own. You are much smarter than WMP and you can tell it what *you* want it to do.

WMP understands a Playlist. Lord knows how Microsoft interprets the position of a cursor at any given moment.

This is just me being, um, er, anal, but words mean things, and some folks work hard to keep up with what others are trying to say. The Mouse it still on its Pad. The Cursor might be over the song...

Duplicates in WMP? Help me out here? Pop quiz again: In which View in WMP do you see duplicates?

No worries. We will figure this out!

Ric, all is good.  Everything seems to be normal......................can i breathe now????  I moved my music back to documents and renamed them beginning with music so all of them are together..........don't have to search.  Moved only one file to music and checked wmp and no duplicates!!!!   So..............now we know.  It works.
