You could try reinstalling WMP10. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components. First you need to uncheck the bos to remove it, then go back in and recheck the box and it will be reinstalled.

The first thing to establish is is the Windows Media Player you default music player on your PC? Second, Can you see the files in the Media Library and/or in the 'Copy to CD or Device' list?
