You've got it in reverse. WMP creates the playlist from My Music. You
must have edited the Library, thus it is reading different than the folder.
No magic button that I know of works that way. You can edit your folders/
files by rightclicking and renaming thus creating a new listing to update the
library. Using WMP, the simplest, easiest and fastest way I have found was to
completely delete the current library playlist and then create a new one.
On the lefthand side of the window under WMP/Library tab, click
My playlist and delete current library. Go to top and click All Music.
Click/highlight the first song, hold down the Shift key and click the last
song.
This will highlight all songs in the listing. Go to the bottom and click +Add
to Library. Now you have a completely new one.
