This has actually happened to me once or twice. But I always have my actual MP3 songs burned to disk, and then just some random homemade MP3 files on my computer. I was listening to them in windows media player, weeding out all the not so good ones, and I had relised that I was actually deleting them from my computer. When you remove songs from the playlist (the first time) a box should pop up that asks if you just want to delete from the playlist or also delete from the computer. If you check the box that says yes to delete from the computer, and the box that says not to show the message again, everytime you delete a song from the play list, it will delete it from you computer.
Hopefully you understand that
BTW, dont bother with winamp, or WMP. Download Foobar its 100% better. I had a song that WMP, and winamp said was corrupt and wouldn't play, but It plays fine in foobar. Its great because it doesn't use alot of system resources. Hope that helps you. |

It also could be a rare filesystem related bug, but then it would be pretty well-known considering how well-used Windows XP is. (or do you use Windows 98?)
I tried to look up on google, but didn't find anything... yet. There must be info somewhere... you can't be the only one.  |

That sounds like a one-off thing *IF* it was WMP that caused it... and although Winamp is better for MP3 files, I severely doubt that WMP could delete a whole MP3 directory.
I'd run a virus scan *just* in case... Failing that, it's probably one of those glitches you can only recreate once in a blue moon.  Sorry. |

i'm sorry to hear that. Anyways, I hope these MP3s are replacable somehow. And in the future, only use WMP to play video files... |

have you done a search for all .mp3 files on your computer? It could be possible that there is another copy of them on the computer. In the Start->Search->Files and Folders. Make sure to search for all files and folders and use this string to find all the mp3s on you computer: "*.mp3" (without the quotes)
if that search turns up all files with 0kb then, i have no idea what happened  |

I don't understand why it hapened, I opened Media Player, selected one song I've d/l some time ago, and it skiped itself to the next song.
The weird is that all the song I have downloaded at sites or Kazaa don't work, and all the ones I've recorded from a CD I had to my pc (.wmv) work fine.
All the .mp3 ones have been screwed up.
So I decided to check the folder that contains my mp3. I saw that their size is only 0 kb now, and when I play it in media player, there's a message saying it is corrupted or something among those lines (I don't know how the message is displayed in English, my media player is in portuguese).
I'd be glad if help is given so perhaps I can fix it, tnks |
