For those who can't find the folders mentioned in the sticky see below.  This is for XP.

Files are in a hidden folder. Make sure you have the  "show hidden files and folders" option selected. Click "my computer" >tools >folder options >select the view tab >scroll down and select "show hidden files and folders". Click OK.  Folders and files should be visible now.

Okay, I fixed those two file names. Now earlier I deleted all of my music from my Zune software, so is there anyway for me to import the library from WMP so I don't have to burn every CD again?

C:\user\{your_username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Zune

Itunes software fixed my Zune software library........nice.

If you only deleted them from the software then they are still there.  Load the Zune software.  If it doesn't find you music automatically, click Collection >Music in the top left of the screen then click on settings in the top right corner then select software for the top left and make sure the Musci monitored folder is the folder where all your music is located.

Well, see, the folder I ripped everything to was called Zune. I deleted said folder, then I manually deleted all the songs from my Zune software, so as far as I know I deleted it all. BUT all of my music from that Zune folder is still accesible from WMP, I just need to know how to get it from WMP to the Zune software.

It is actually here for Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\{your_username}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Zune\

I added that as the directory to pull music from, but it didn't do anything....what would the location be for WMP files?
