Windows and WMP only know a limited number of music encodings.
There are CODECS that may help but before you do this be aware that some CODECS contain trojans. Be sure of your source for these CODECS.
I hope you know what a CODEC is. I will get the short version of "It's like a driver for music and other files for WMP." I'm sure folk will jump all over me for such a simple explaination.
--> Look up MEDIA INFO and let it look at a file that didn't work. Now google for that CODEC if MEDIA INFO didn't offer one.

I use XP.
Some of my music files, on my external drive, have no duration on my home pc. Windows media player will not play them but VLC will play them.
If I plug my external drive into my pc at work (also XP) then the duration is stated.
How can i get duration to be shown on my home pc
