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.

That'll be like searching for a needle in a haystack...*sigh* well that's what I get for getting impatient, I suppose.

I do not have a CurrentDatabase_365.wmdb on my computer. Is there another way to restore my old library.

Here's the problem I've been having:

I just downloaded the new Zune software, and it added a whole bunch of new files to my song list. These new files are duplicates of songs I already had in my library. However, the albulm information on these files is all messed up, and these songs do not play. I cannot delete these songs from my library, but they are already sinced onto my zune. When I try to play these files on my zune, my zune freezes up. After about 5 or 10 seconds I can go back on my zune and try to select another song, but many times that song doesn't work either. How do I delete these songs from my zune and restore my original library.

Thanks for your help.

^^^^^What is this? I can't even find that on Vista.

It is actually here for Windows XP:

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

This stuff is just not on my PC. I could find easy on my XP system. Nevermind. Hidden files were enabled.

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

It should be

C:\Users\[Insert your login name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Zune

If you cannot find it make sure you have Show Hidden Files and Folders turned on.

In Vista, it is turned on by going to the organize button (in explorer). Click Folder and Search Options. Goto the Views tab, and change the option in the list box. Hit OK. That should make it show up.

What's up?
P.S.-
I do have hidden folders/files shown.

By chance, are you in "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Name]\Application Data\" instead?

If not, post what your directory structure looks like. Copy it from the address bar at the top of Windows Explorer.
