Media Center will not recognize mp3 files.

Running Windows 7 Pro on a Dell T3400.

I copied 15 mp3 files to the computer.
I started Media Center and added the appropriate directory to the music Media libraries .
I waited 10 hours, only 6 of the mp3 files are recognized.

What must be done to force Media Center to recognize mp3 files?

I set Windows 7 to allow viewing of hidden files. All the files show as mp3 .
Programs like vnc and winamp can see the mp3 files and play them.
What is preventing Media Center from recognizing the files?

Hello nobus
I have no idea . I assumed there is just one version of Media Center, the one included in Windows 7. Where would I find a newer version?

Hello nobus

I cannot find any newer version of Media Center. I have searched all through Windows downloads. Every site I have visited tells me Windows Media Center comes with Windows 7. Please tell me what url you would use to download a new version of Media Center?
