Reindexing Media Center?

[GC]

I transfer music files to a computer hosting Windows Media Center (not
just media player). I put them in My Music, but Media Center usually is
unaware of this, so won't list or play them. I have similsr problems
with music filrs that I delete from My Music. Obviously, Media Center
uses some internal data structure. Is there a simple way to force Media
Center to reindex or refresh that structure so that it is consisteb-nt
with the current set of files in My Music.

Thanks - GC

Extras. What I actually do this for is to read The Econmist online,
becsuse my vision is badly impaired, and the magazine has an audio
edition available to subscribers. To be useful. a solution should not
use too much mouse manipulation, and if you refer to a button or anyting
else to click, please describe where it is in the page/window where it
is located.

Fell free to also email your reply.

I had a similiar problem so I deleted all my files from

\Users\Mcx2\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player\*.wmdb

This resolved my problems with deleted media showing up in the list.

Hi,

I am having the same issue with getting media center to recognize I have new
tags on my photos. I have windows vista and I can't seem to find the file
path you have listed in this thread reply in my system. You would happen to
know any more specifics for finding this on vista, would you?
Thanks,
Jeff
