Dear All,

I tried since several days to read in WMplayer new cd's, however I can't get Access to MS database at fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com.

Is there a lone down of Server?

I use Windows 7 Pro and could Access with no Trouble until 3 weeks ago.

Now tried again but failed.

I checked to reqch this Server though Office PC with Windows 10 and IE, but fail, too.

What went wrong so far?

Or does this Service has been discontinued?

    Reinstate service with fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com

    "After looking at customer feedback and usage data, Microsoft decided to discontinue this service. This means that new metadata won’t be updated on media players that are installed on your Windows device". 

    Who is this brilliant decider?  Disruptor more like it.

    Hi Carl

    I've was given an old laptop with Windows 10 on it and it has Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre. I can't say that they are working though as I only discovered the whole issue whilst I've been away from home and don't have the laptops with me. I only discovered it using using a family members Win 7. I'll have a check when I get back home.

    There is no sub-group "...TunerConfig" anywhere in the registry on my W7 machine. I am loathed to create one - but since the post is advocating blanking a key entry, it wouldn't help me anyway.

    Hermes G.Atariguana,

    thank's for the above about trying to get it working again, however, as Roger Pittock has commented, there is no sub-group "...TunerConfig" anywhere in the registry on my W7 machine. Have spent ages searching and it's nowhere at all.......?

    Any ideas?

    ..And I can now confirm that the phase "metaservices" is nowhere in the registry,  Most likely Microsoft has hard-coded the path into the operating system. Terrible practice. It may be possible to over-ride it with a key though. Going to try something....
