Just got a new system, and Vista won't recognize any of my music files to
add to my new machine. I've tried adding from a disc, as well as from my
portable player, and in both cases it does not 'find' any music tracks in
either source. Any advice?
 
Thanks ,
I have alot of MP3 files that I want to transfer to my new
computer. When I attempt to do so via CD-R discs, Vista is not reading that
there are any files on the disc (I know there are, as I can view them on my
old computer (running Windows 98), and on my work computer (running Windows
2000). Same thing when I plug in my portable MP3 player - it does not read
that there are any files available to transfer.

I notice that in Vista, you are unable to specify file extensions that you
may be searching for. Could it be that it is configured for a different
format (WMA) files only?
 
When you insert the CD-R that contains your MP3 files, Windows should
display a dialog box that gives you the option to "Play using Windows Media
Player" or "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer." Do you see
that dialog?

If you do see that dialog and you click "Open folder to view files," are you
saying that no files are listed in the window?
