Due to corrupted files, I have had to download the same tracks from Napster
several times. Because of this, Media Player 11 now contains a multiple
entries for each track I have downloaded. The player will play a track more
than once because it has multiple entries. I might avoid this in the future
by having the media overwrite existing information when I download (but this
will probably open a another can of worms.) Question is: How may I delete
the extra listings from the Media Player application without deleting the
track from my drive?

Ok, I'm not a Guru, But first open WMP and go to your library. Find the
offending entries and left click once to Highlight a single entry, or via the
shift key or control key several entries. Then right click and choose
"delete". A window will open showing a couple of options. One is to delete
from library only. The second is to delete from library AND computer. Choose
the"delete from library only" option. This will remove those entries from
your library, but not your computer. Be advised that the next time you play a
song via WMP the entries may reappear (WMP searching for new media). You may
need to rename the duplicates. Hope this helps!.
