WMP Not Finding Songs

I have Windows Media Player 11 and Spiral Frog. I have been recently downloading quite a few songs off Spiral Frog to add to my Digital library and there have been no problems so far, until now. Whenever I download a song, I have to go to the root directory of the song and play it from there. WMP will NOT detect the songs automatically or manually, even when I make it search the specific folder the songs are in. Any help?

Thank the DRM (digital rights media)that microsoft supports . WMP will not select any songs that are not DRM supported. Spiral frog is probably losing the DRM meta files and wmp is not seeing the song because of no DRM tags.

Is there any way I can get around that, or will I just have to you the Yahoo Music stuff that came with my MP3 player. Like I said before, it worked fine before, it just doesn't see ANY new songs from SpiralFrog now. I will try a few songs from different sources and see if it detects them tonight.

Okay there mustv'e been a trojan on my computer that was causing WMP to not find any more songs. I had other problems with my PC (All settings going back to default) so I scanned with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware, it found two trojans, and now it detects my songs again!
