WMP Library Empty

Windows Media Player/Center

Afternoon all.
I have a strange problem which has me stumped.

I have a HTPC running Win 7 and this morning I tried to play some new CDs that I had ripped to it earlier this week.

My entire music library has disappeared from Media Player and Media Center. The files are still there on one of the hard drives, but no matter what I do I can't get Media Player or Center to 'see' the files. It refuses to add them to the library. I've reset the librairies to default and the pathways all look correct but no joy. Its done the same with Video files but not Recorded TV or Photos.

I can play the music files direct from the hard drive using WMP but it just will not update the library.
The cynic in me thinks its MS spoofing my system to get me to upgrade to Win10 but I don't want to do that as I'll lose Media Center which I like...a lot.

Any ideas? Ta.
