Hi,

 

Try to run the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix any issues with corruption in the Library as it shows that the ‘tracks are ripped to the library’.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Library-troubleshooter

 

Also run the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Settings-troubleshooter

 

If the troubleshooter does not fix the issue then try to rebuild Windows Media Player Library database.

Clear the Windows Media Player database. Try the following steps:

a)    Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

b)    Select all the files in the folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.

Note: You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.

Restart Windows Media Player.
