The last Windows Media Player release was in the year 2009 and since then it has not received any updates. While it still works with a lot of file formats, the fact that it does not get any update as an app, makes it a little shaky at times. One of the problems experienced by users is that they do not see the songs or music appearing in the Windows Media Player library, or they cannot add files to the library.
This seems to be a common issue, however, the good news is, this can be fixed. Let’s see how to make your songs appear in the Windows Media Player library in your Windows 10 PC.
