Organizing albums by year in "Song" view (WMP11 - Vista x64)
Before I upgraded to Vista, the "Song" view would organize my albums
by artist, and then by year, meaning that an artist's repertoire was
chronological.
Now, it seems that albums in this view are sorted alphabetically.
Is there a way to change this back to the way that WMP11 for XP did
things? Tag: Keyboard shortcuts don't work Tag: 262657
Can I make WMP 11 do these things?
An old version of WMP - I think it was 9 - had a feature which would
connect to a website (maybe it was music.com, but my memory isn't improving
with age) and show various pieces of album information about the mp3 one
was listening to, including when it was recorded, who played on the record,
a review which gave some history and such about the record. This was great
stuff for an old jazz fart like me, and I loved having it be the default
view. Is there any way to make WMP 11 do that, instead of showing those
goddam record stores?
Also, can I make it show my library in a plain old Explorer style list or
details view file tree, not the WMP folder view with the alphabetical
headings and all that other clutter? My collection is almost 50 GBs, and
browsing it via any of the views which are native to WMP, quite frankly,
sucks.
I'm not above paying a reasonable sum of money for a plug-in or such which
would do these things. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer... Tag: Keyboard shortcuts don't work Tag: 262655
Play One Song And Quit
I'm just switching from Winamp to Media Player. Is there a way to have
several songs in the "Now Playing" area and force Media Player to play one
song and then quit until the next song in the list is manually selected? I
use the player for line dancing and like to have a playlist of all the songs
I'll use for the evening but have it play one song and then quit until I'm
ready for the next song. Tag: Keyboard shortcuts don't work Tag: 262653

playing media from smartphone in media player
I have a AT&T Smartphone and I have all my music sync'ed from my WM Library.
Most of my music in my library is stored on a network drive at my house and
when I am at work I can not access that music in WMP. However I do have all
my music on my Smartphone so when I connect my smartphone to my PC is there
a way to play the music that is stored on the Smartphone through my WMP on
my PC? I was able to do this with my creative Zen and the software that
came with it to play music directly from that Zen, but I couldn't do it
using WMP, I had to use the ZEN software. Is there a way to do this with
WMP11? Tag: Keyboard shortcuts don't work Tag: 262637

A bug Adding audio files to the library ?
I add Economist Audio files to the WMP 11 Library so I can sync them to my
Sansa View. To get them into the Library I have to extract all the mp3
files from their individual section folders and put them together in one
folder which I title "Economist". I have previously defined this folder as
one to monitor in the "Add to Library" window. They get added to the
Library this way but not as expected.
When I place the cursor over each audio file in Windows Explorer, the
information displayed is "Artist: The Economist", "Album Title: March 8th -
March 14 2008", "Track Number: 1" [etc].
What WMP ends up with in the Library is as follows: Artist is each of the
Sections ("01 Introduction", "05 Briefings", etc). Album is "March 8th -
March 14 2008". Songs are each of the audio files eg. "10 Briefing -
India's Civil Service". Genre is "Books". Contributing Artist is "The
Economist".
Actually WMP would be OK if the contents of "Artist" and "Contributing
Artist" were switched. This seems like a bug because WMP has the correct
info. I do not know how WMP extracts this info from the mp3 file but it
should do it in the same fashion as Windows Explorer. It does not.
Has anyone run into this problem? Is there a fix? Tag: Keyboard shortcuts don't work Tag: 262619

High Process Level
Hi,
I've been having a problem lately with WMP. I'm running WMP11 on Windows XP
SP2. Everytime I connect to the internet, after about 20 minutes of WMP
running, my computer will start to lag. I checked the task manager, and WMP
is running at 80-90%. This has been happening everytime I connect to the
internet, I've tried it offline too, and nothing happens. I'm not using WMP
for anything except for playing MP3s. Is there an update I need to download
to fix this, or is something wrong with my settings (I haven't touched them
since I installed it.) I've also tried re-installing it, and it still does
the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

WMP 11 repeating songs when playing?
I have most of my CD collection (over 200 CD's) ripped to a computer with
WMP 11 installed. Most days I'll boot up the computer and drag "ALL SONGS"
to the playlist and it will begin to play. I have the playlist shuffled and
I do not have "REPEAT" checked so I would expect that I could theoretically
go thru the whole collection without hearing the same song repeated, unless
I happen to have two copies of the same song in the list or if I reboot the
computer and have WMP start over. However, that doesn't seem to be the way
it's working. Every day I know that I hear at least one song, and usually
more, repeated and I know that they aren't a song that I have more than one
copy of. Is there something that I don't understand about the way WMP works
or is there a flaw in my WMP 11? BTW, I'm running WMP 11 on WIN XP on that
computer. TIA!

Adding the contents of just one folder to My Library
I download the Economist Audio edition each week and put it in a folder.
The contents of the folder and titles of the audio files change each week.
I need to add it to the WMP library to sync with my Sansa View Player.
I delete old version from the Library and add the new one. I have all the
folders in Add to Library set to Ignore except two: the Rip type which
cannot be set and one I use to load the weekly Economist Audio edition.
When I click OK, WMP goes through all the folders in My Music and takes
forever. There are also some songs I do not want added.
Is there an easy way to just have the contents of one folder "added"?

media player album info updating
Sorry if this is old stuff, but I've searched the group via google...
I last used media player a couple of years ago, on XP; don't remember
which version. Now, using version 11.0.6000 on Vista, preinstalled on
new computer. Anyway, my problem isn't as buggy as all the complaints
about update album info I see in the group previously; but I remember
that in the old version, when the info fetched from the iknternet was
incorrect, youj could not onlyu correct it, but then upload it back to
the database where maybe it got corrected for future users? anyway,
the new one doesn't seem to have that. was that just a phony option,
or was it too attractive for vandals, or what?
as far as bugs, might as well check, but when i update the album info,
i often have to paste the album cover onto the generic icon manually.
could be worse, but if there's a fix...

Anyone got the "Remotable WMP Player Wrapper for C#" example?
Hi there,
Hope someone can help me.
I'm currently writing a client application in C# that needs to monitor
the currently playing track in iTunes, WMP and Winamp.
Got it all working fine, but i really hate the WMP solution.
It involves a C++ WMP background plugin using a COM visible
remoted .NET object to expose the controls interface.
This means I need to deal with COM registration and firewall
shenanigans, and causes issues when automatically updating the
application... it works, but just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
So, to my point... I'm trying to figure out how to use the
IWMPRemoteMediaServices interface so that I can get details on what is
currently going on in the running WMP instance. Stumbled upon a post
by Eric Gunnerson here (http://blogs.msdn.com/ericgu/archive/
2005/06/22/431783.aspx) but unfortunately MS in their infinite wisdom
have pulled gotdotnet; only migrating the very latest projects to the
clunky code.msdn.com :(
So, did anyone grab this project at the time and still have it
knocking about on their harddisk?
Remotable WMP Player Wrapper for C#
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=E1DBEA97-9731-4BDA-9442-AB82C8D78DA9

Please please help!
