Can't restore my licenses
I have bought music over the years from Walmart online and saved the
licenses as well as the music downloads in folders on my hard drive. It all
worked fine until I recently reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows
XP SP2.
After reinstalling Windows I also copied the music folders and the license
backups back to my new hard drive but now when I try to play the music Media
player 11 can't download media access rights and won't play the music.
Also, I can't figure out how to get it to restore my licenses from my backed
up files.
In Media player 9 there was a menu option for restoring licenses from local
folders, but I see no options for this in Media player 11.
Can anyone please advise on how to restore my licenses?

Track disability carrying over
In the media player that comes standard with XP, there was the option to
enable or disable tracks in the current playlist. With the upgraded Media
Player 11, this option is not present.
The problem begins when I upgrade to Media Player 11. Some tracks of a
particular disk were left disabled upon upgrade, and the result is that the
tracks on the disk will effectively refuse to play.
I looked for a method to reenable the tracks, but the search was futile.
Rolling back, enabling the disabled tracks, then reinstalling the Media
Player 11 also failed to solve the problem. The result is that I am stuck
using the original media player on that computer.
Is there a way to reenable the tracks that I missed? Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262517

WIndows media player 10 wont play video of DIVX 3 low motion codec
Hello, I have a problem with playback of some AVI files Windows
Media
Player 10
i upgraded to 11 and it still happens
The video (.avi) is compressed using the DivX Codec DIVX 3 ...I
already have the latest version of DivX 6.80 installed in my
computer...
Whenever I try to pay it on WMP 11, there will be an error message
saying "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the
file"...I went to Web Help
but it either says that I have a sound problem or that I do not have
the correct codec installed. My sound works perfectly, and whenever I
play the video, the sound is still able to play in the background, but
no video
appears. (the error message will appear of course)
I tried using GSpot to double check, but the codec (used to compress
the video) is Div 3.
i have DIVx 3 installed.
I tried uninstalling the DivX bundle and reinstalling DivX 6.8 again,
but it
didn't work. Also, the DIV3 videos are still playable on players like
Divx
player and Winamp . and VLC media player .
odd thing is if i play another avi file first and then play the avi
that has DIV3 it works !
And I hope that I've stated adequate information about the
problem...So can
anyone help me out?
i can use winamp but i like MP better

Playing whole CD's
I occasionally want random selection to play whole CD's rather than
individual tracks. WMP11 doesn't cater for this, but it occurred to me
that if I could encode the albums as single tracks when ripping (as well
as individual tracks) then I could fabricate a playlist that played the
"Single Album" audio files.
I don't think WMP can be persuaded to rip albums to a single audio file,
and I couldn't find such as option in either Exact Audio Copy or CDEX.
Has anyone achieved this?

- Definición y lema de la ilustración.
Definición: es la salida del hombre de la minoría de edad causada por él
mismo
Lema: Sapere aude atrévete a saber ten valentía para servirte de tu propio
entendimiento

De la minoría de edad del
- ¿Por qué somos culpables de nuestra minoría de edad?
Porque la minoría de edad es causada por el hombre mismo, cuando la causa de
esto no radica en una carencia del entendimiento, sino en una falta de
decisión y arrojo para servirse del propio entendimiento sin la dirección
del de algún
-Si se dejara en libertad a los seres humanos, ¿Todo iría peor, según
Kant?
Si, porque al hombre le resultaría difícil salir de la minoría de edad que
se ha convertido ya en una segunda naturaleza, y sería incapaz de servirse
de su propio entendimiento. La minoría de edad se vuelve permanente y el que
intentara rechazarla correría un peligro puesto que no está acostumbrado a
caminar por sí
-"Aquel público que anteriormente había sido sometido a este yugo por
ellos ( por los tutores) obliga, más tarde, a los propios autores a
someterse al mismo yugo" . Explica y pon un ejemplo:
Que una sociedad se ilustre es bastante probable, pues incluso entre los
tutores de la gran masa algunos pensadores autónomos que se habrán quitado
el yugo de la minoría de edad y extenderán a su alrededor el valor de cada
hombre para pensar por si

No, porque el cambio de gobierno, cambiaría la forma de gobierno pero no

-¿Qué entiende Kant por uso público y uso privado de la razón?
Explica y pon ejemplos.
Kant dice que para la ilustración sólo se requiere la libertad para poder
hacer uso público de la razón en todos los asuntos. El uso público de la
razón debe ser siempre libre y éste sólo puede logrear realizar la
ilustración entre los hombres. Kant entiende por uso público de la propia
razón el que hace cualquiera como intelectual ante su público del universo
de lectores y entiende por uso privado, el uso que está permitido hacer de
su razón cuando se le confía cierta responsabilidad o un cargo civil. La
razón en su uso público, en tanto que especialista en algo, o en tanto que
ciudadano o ser humano, podemos y estamos obligados a criticar. Pero, en su
uso privado, en tanto que partes de un engranaje social en el cual cumplimos
una función debemos obedecer las normas. Por ejemplo, un oficial al que sus
superiores le ordenan algo, quisiera, estando al servicio, exponer sus
razones en voz alta acerca de la utilidad de esa orden, él tiene que
obedecer. Sin embargo en justicia, no se le puede prohibir que en cuanto
intelectual critique o haga comentarios sobre los errores del servicio
militar y los exponga a consideración del
- Una alumna padece la injusticia de un profesor; en respuesta,
boicotea la clase ¿debe hacer esto, según Kant?
No. Como alumna haciendo uso privado de su razón debe obedecer al profesor y
las normas impuestas por el centro, y no puede boicotear la clase. Ahora
bien, como ser humano y ante una injusticia boicotea la clase haciendo uso
público de la
-Un profesor francés de filosofía ha publicado un artículo contra la
religión musulmana donde sostiene que el Corán es muy violento y lo vincula
con el terrorismo. Según parece ha sido amenazado . Relaciónalo con el uso
público/privado de Kant y da tu opinión.
El profesor al publicar el artículo ha hecho uso público de la razón, como
filósofo y como ser humano. En su calidad de funcionario de educación y
ciudadano de un Estado laico debería haberlo escrito haciendo uso privado de
la razón. Como funcionario está obligado a cumplir las normas. Mi opinión es
que el profesor hizo bien en publicar el artículo y expresar libremente su
opinión y criticar, y fue valiente al hacerlo y no temer a las
consecuencias, amenazas y represalias. El profesor optó por su libertad para
expresarse públicamente sin tener en cuenta que como persona podría correr
peligro
-Opina sobre
la distinción Kantiana uso público/uso privado de la razón.
Kant sostiene que el uso público de la razón debe ser siempre libre y el uso
privado tiene que limitarse. En mi opinión criticar y obedecer son las dos
caras de este uso de la razón. Tenemos libertad para expresar nuestras ideas
sobre todos los asuntos y criticar haciendo uso de esa libertad pero el
límite de mi crítica está en las leyes y normas de mi país, que me obligan
como ciudadano a obedecer y cumplirlas, porque sino la sociedad no
funcionaría.

-
Sería posible, según Kant, establecer una norma, o una constitución política
como definitiva?¿por qué?¿Cuál sería la piedra de toque?¿Podrías relacionar
todo esto con algún aspecto más actual?
No, es imposible, porque impediría cualquier ilustración posterior del
género humano, se colocaría en una situación que le sería imposible ampliar
sus conocimientos, deshacerse de errores y avanzar hacia la ilustración. La
piedra de toque de todo lo que sobre un pueblo se puede determinar en cuanto
ley, se encuentra en la cuestión acerca de si un pueblo se puede imponer o
no a sí mismo una ley como
-Yo quiero ser inculto, ¿tengo, moralmente, derecho según
Kant?¿Por qué?
No tenemos derecho a ser ignorantes, pues frenamos el desarrollo de la
humanidad.
-¿Qué entiende Kant por
progresar?
La naturaleza humana contiene una finalidad: la de desarrollar todas sus
facultades( por ejemplo. La razón y la libertad). Esta tendencia a
perfeccionarse (a ir a mejor) actúa como causa y finalidad de toda la
historia humana, y es lo que le da sentido. El progreso sería el desarrollo
de las capacidades humanas.

-" No vivimos en una época ilustrada, sino de ilustración". Explica y
compara con nuestra época.
En aquella época faltaba mucho para que los hombres, tal como estaban las
cosas, se sirvieran de su propio entendimiento sin la dirección de algún
otro por eso dice Kant que no vivían en una época ilustrada. Pero es de la
ilustración o el siglo de Federico ( Federico el Grande, monarca ilustre,
tolerante en materia religiosa y abierto al desarrollo ilimitado) porque
liberó por primera vez al género humano de la minoría de edad y dejó en
libertad a cada cual para servirse de su propia razón. La ilustración es
sobre todo, una reivindicación de la libertad y de la emancipación respecto
de cualquier sujeción o dependencia. La ilustración marca antes y un después
en lo cultural y en lo político, a partir de ella países de Europa y EE.UU.
hicieron sus revoluciones políticas y se crearon sistemas democráticos en
los que los ciudadanos gozaron de todas las libertades. En otros países se
Europa como España, la ilustración no tuvo tanta influencia y consecuencia
de ello fue que siguiera sin libertades. Han tenido que pasar siglos para
conseguir una sociedad con libertades (democrática) como lo que tenemos
ahora, en lenguaje Kantiano una sociedad con ciudadanos con ciudadanos
mayores de edad.
Opiniones, críticas.
El libro es un ensayo con titulo en forma de pregunta. Kant es un pensador
ilustrado, su filosofía y este libro no puede ser comprendido si no es desde
la perspectiva de los intereses e ideales de la ilustración, por tanto hay
que ponerse en aquella época. Los ideales de la ilustración (individuos
libres, el ser humano se hace a sí mismo, naturaleza perfectible, sociedad
no estética sino en progreso, ciudadanos capaces de saber y decidir por sí
mismos, antidogmática y sin verdades absolutas) los comparto todos, pero son
ideales. Kant cree que ha llegado la hora en la que el hombre se haga cargo
de su vida y decida por sí mismo. Por ello se pregunta ¿Qué es la
ilustración? Dice que es la salida del hombre de la minoría de edad causada
por él mismo. Empieza planteando el problema: la minoría de edad del hombre.
A continuación las razones, propuesta para solucionarlo y qué se requiere
para ello. Kant mantiene que para la ilustración no se requiere más que
libertad y que una sociedad ilustrada hará posible ciudadanos más
relacionados, más conscientes de sus obligaciones y, por tanto, mejores.
Pienso que en parte tenía razón, la libertad es imprescindible para poder
hacer uso de la razón en todos los asuntos. Ahora tenemos todas las
libertades, de pensamiento, expresión etc. Pero estas libertades están
condicionadas también por los prejuicios sociales que siguen existiendo, si
soy valiente y me enfrento a esos prejuicios y seré libre verdaderamente sin
limitaciones. Yo pienso así, pero todos no somos ni pensamos igual. Por esto
creo que la educación, la cultura y el conocimiento de las cosas hará que
tengamos criterio propio y la sociedad en su conjunto tendrá menos
prejuicios. No estoy de acuerdo con Kant cuando dice que un cambio de
gobierno no cambiaría la forma de pensar, pienso que sí, según qué gobierno
podría ayudar a cambiar la forma de pensar. Las críticas que hago es que
Kant olvida el contexto social de nuestros comportamientos. Nos pide
excesiva pureza moral ante la impureza de la realidad social. Kant dice que
no tenemos derecho a ser ignorante, pues frenamos el desarrollo de la
humanidad, me parece que se excede en el concepto de humanidad y no da valor
al ser humano como individuo al poner sus actos bajo la idea de humanidad.

I access these music files through my Vista machine that has a Network drive

still play the media and synchronise to the XP machine when it's switched
off...
So, basically, I need to know how to grant access to the PS3 to READ this

WMP: no video & visualization under restricted accounts
Hi,
I have now 2 problems with Media Player 11 under Win XP Home SP2 which work
fine a few months ago.
1) I canâ??t actualize album info anymore. It opens a blank window with
fai.metaservices.microsoft.com written above and nothing happen.
This is not a firewall issue, it the same after deactivating it. What kind
of safe settings must be done in IE7 to allow WMP to actualize the album
information through internet?
2) I saw a few weeks ago that WMP11 did not show any visualization anymore.
But I did not have time to search how to fix it. I can not use a system
restore point since the oldest one is after this problem.
I tried last week end to reinstall and this fix the problem but only under
the admin account. The 2 others restricted accounts can not play video (sound
is fine) or see visualization (equalizer and so on also disappeared, unknown
plugin is written). Video is working only in mini mode in the taskbar.
I tried with a lot difficulty to rollback to WMP10 but it is the same
problem for the restricted accounts. I was not successful to roll back
further to WMP9.
Amazing is that if I change the both restricted accounts to admin accounts
then everything looks fine again.
Do you have an idea what I should do because I do not want to change the 2
restricted account to admins? It may be a permission problem on some folder
or registry key?
3) Some questions on WMP:
Which media player service should be set on â??automaticâ?? or â??manuallyâ?? or
deactivated.
Can I remove wmpnscfg.exe from startup entries? What is wmiprvse.exe?

So I uninstalled WMP11, the Runtime, and 3 updates related to it. Now
MS Updates are prompting to reinstall the updates. I know I can uncheck

Saving music, videos & pictures
My son's laptop, running XP Home and approximately eighteen months old,
is so full of crap I've decided to reformat and do a clean install of his
OS. He has, in his WMP 11 library, close to 30GB of music, videos and
pictures he wants to save. I assume all of these are located elsewhere in
folders on the laptop. It's my understanding that the WMP library basically
contains only links to the files in these folders as opposed to storing
these files within WMP itself.
What is the best way to save these files? I was thinking that I would
simply copy or move them from their current file/folder locations to one of
my Desktop external drives and then return them to his laptop once the clean
install was finished. My intention is to eliminate the recovery sector on
his hard drive and create a single partition. He has an actual installation
disk for the XP operating system so he doesn't need the recovery sector.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or any criticisms regarding my
approach? If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I'm open to any and all advice and I
appreciate any assistance that is given.

No video in repeat
If I play a video (mpg, avi, wmv) and repeat is on the video will only play
for a few seconds then the video stops but file continues to play with audio. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262445
Can't find the specified file
help! we have an ftp server with audio files (windows 2k workstation,
sp4, with IIS/ftp services running). When you click on the audio file,
and open with Windows Media Player (Version 9, windows xp, sp2)you get
message:
"Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path
is typed correctly. If it is, the file does no exist at the specified
location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline"
This only happens on PC's with IE 7 -- Firefox works fine, IE6 works fine.
any clues would be greatly appreciated
thanks,

AlbumArt_?
I am seeing system files such as AlmartArt_{...}.jpg and AlbumArtSmall.jpg in
my My Music Folder. Are these files created by Windows Media Player?
This is becoming quite a nuisance since i am trying to keep my folder synced
clean across multiple computers. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262436
Variable bitrate MP3 files
Is there any downside to variable bitrate encoding of MP3 files (other
than the extra CPU to record/play them)?
I recently came across a huge MP3 file containing 10 minutes of silence,
and it seemed likely that variable bitrate could shrink this file with
no loss of audio quality.

Library dissapeared and now I cannot add to library or share media
Ive encountered some strange issues with WMP11 (on XP) over the past 2 weeks
and Im hoping there's someone out there that can help.
The problem started with my playlists disappearing from my library. When I
noticed this I tried recreating them, but they would not save. A week or so
later I noticed that all my music files were no longer in my library. While
all this was happening my xbox could continue to see all the various media
that was no longer "in" WMP.
A few days ago I noticed that no new media was accessible from my Xbox and
decided to try and troubleshoot the issue. I started by dropping and then
re-adding my media folders to the monitored folders list. However, after
hitting OK and then reopening the Add to Library dialog the montiored list
was completely empty. I cannot get anything to "stick" in the list.
Ive tried various fixes including deleting the WMP DB from
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player as
suggested by KB 925718. I've also reinstalled WMP 11 multiple times. I even
removed the Zune UI from my computer thinking they may competing for the same
files even though they had been coexisting happily for months.
At this point I can play music/movies by using File/open but for everything
else (library media sharing etc) the WMP is useless. Im uncertain where to
go from here.
Thanks in Advance for your help. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262418
Media Player 11 & WMA Files

Audio / CPU problems
I have had trouble playing audio on my computer, specifically mp3.
When i try to play audio (wmplayer, vlc, winamp, so far) the player
ramps up to 50+% of my CPU usage and trying to use any other
applications makes the audio skip (it actually seems to get worse the
longer i run it to the point that it seems to make itself skip). I had
thought at first that it was the player but after trying 3 very
different players i think it is the system itself. I am not quite sure
where to start here so any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Microsoft falling, further and further behind
Microsoft still insist on providing a maximum artwork resolution of 200x200
(and having the gaul to call it 'hi-resolution'). Worse, with WMP11 they
apparently will downgrade any higher resolution artwork you manually add.
For some considerably time Apple via the iTunes Store have been providing
600x600 artwork which is _nine_ times the resolution. Well now Microsoft are
looking even more pathetic since Apple now offer 1425x1425 resolution
artwork which equates to more than _fifty_ times the so called hi-resolution
artwork offered by Microsoft.
Note: iTunes 600x600 resolution was already the best of all the stores
(Walmart and Amazon use 500x500).
Now while this is perhaps an absurdly high resolution for its main uses (on
an iPod screen or a computer display, or even a Full-HD 1080p TV), it is
equally the case that Microsoft's offering of a paltry 200x200 pixels is
barely adequate for even a Zune let alone using in Microsoft Media Center on
a HDTV.
Considering Microsoft have spent so much effort tarting up their graphics
for Vista, disfiguring it with such mediocre artwork is a bizarre (but
perhaps typical Microsoft) decision. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262395

Strange Connection Problem with new Denon 4308ci
Hi Everyone, I have searched a variety of threads, but cannot find any
quite like this problem I am having. I will try to make this as less
confusing as possible...
First...my equipment...
PC1...(name is HTPC)....Vista 64...WMP11 version 11.0.6001.3869 (I
think...doing this from memory, since I am at work right
now) ....Wired ethernet to linksys wrt54g wireless router.
PC2...(name is MediaPC)...Vista 64...WMP version 11.0.6001.7000 (just
installed Vista SP1 to try to resolve this issue). Wireless connection
to my router.
Denon AVR 4308ci. wired to Linksys router...2 weeks old, firmware was
just updated.
The goal here is to have streaming audio from PC2...MediaPC.. since it
is left on all the time.
Second...the problem...
Through the wired connection the Denon can see PC1 ...(HTPC) and plays
music fine.
PC2...MediaPC.. can see the Denon....log into its Web Page and
configure with no problems...So the connection is good.
But the Denon does not see PC2...Only PC1.
As a test, I disconnected the wired cable from PC1 and used a wireless
USB NIC. (Same as what I use on PC2) The Denon Still sees PC1
(MediaPC) But now it says "not authorized" ( I am thinking it sees a
different MAC address somewhere...but not sure why this would make a
difference) I put back the wired and disconnect the wireless...all is
good again.
More information.... PC2 can see PC1 in WMP11. But PC1 Does not see
PC2 (same as the Denon does not) This makes me believe it is not a
problem with the Denon, since PC1 cannot see PC2 either. I have been
through every setting on both PC's to make sure sharing, network, etc.
are the same. I have checked all firewall, and router (wireless
settings).
Without patting myself on the back too much...let me say...I just got
my Microsoft MCSE 2008 upgrade from Windows server 2003 last week. And
I am Cisco CCNA certified...So believe me when I say I have checked
anything that I can think of. The only thing I have not done is
directly wire PC2 to the router to bypass the wireless and see if that
makes a difference. It is a hassle to move the PC2, but necessary at
this point. I will do that tomorrow.
So in summary...PC1 works fine when hard wired..when wireless is
connected to PC1...Denon sees it but says "not authorized" The Denon
does not see PC2 at all. So maybe this error message may give someone
a clue on where WMP11 is looking? And Maybe by adding or authorizing a
MAC address it will allow connection? As I said, I am technically
qualified to understand any feedback, but just don't really know where
to look.

Looking For A Strategy
I have about 10,000 .wav files on an external drive and an Access2002
database that has all these .wav files recorded. Can I get these .wav files
into WMP 11?
a) Do the .wav files first need to be in a bunch of playlists? If so, how
do I get the .wav files into categorized playlists?
b) How do I gey the .wav files or the playlists into the albums list?
I am looking for a strategy here.

DRM?
Hi
I am running vista home premium and Mediaplayer 11
Having downloaded a music file (.wma) from Tesco.com downloads Mediaplayer
refuses to play it. Tesco website help section refers me to a Microsoft
article that tells me to re-name the DRM folder to DRMold before visiting
their site at http//drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp.
The problem is that there is no "drm" folder on my system for me to re-name!
Any ideas?
all help much appreciated

WMP, custom file extensions & seeking
I really like WMP11 as my media player/server but unfortunately it's
missing support for the fast becoming cross platform industry standard
H.264/MP4 and could not stream my videos to my Xbox 360. Thankfully
looking over MSDN I found that it was possible to introduce custom
file formats into WMP and I was successful in creating a registry
patch which can stream H.264/MP4/M4V & AAC/M4A to my Xbox 360 from
WMP11.
http://a8t8.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2518DD508BB713E8!156.entry
With that out of the way although the primary purpose has been
fulfilled I would like to improve on it if possible but here is where
I have hit a brick wall.
There are two outstanding minor issues that I would love to fix and
better tie MPEG4 support into WMP if it is actually possible;
1) The length of audio/video for custom formats is not displayed in
the library or during the now playing when you play something from the
library.
2) Seeking is not supported (is that the right term?) where you can
jump to any point in the video, fast forward/rewind etc when you play
something from the library.
But.. seeking will work if you open the MP4/M4V/M4A in WMP through
explorer or through the File-Open menu in WMP or if the videos end up
in the "Other Media" category in the library. The time length of the
media file also sort of displays semi properly when you do this too
though only for a brief moment if you jump to various points in the
file it will display the time length.
Why it partially works in one way and not through the other I have not
been able to figure out at all & looking over MSDN and the registry I
cannot locate anything that points me in the right direction. Ideally
I would like to at least enable seeking for MP4/M4A/M4V if playing
them through Windows Media Players own media library.
(I have also looked pretty much at every WMP MPEG4 add-in pack and
splitter, registry tweak that's out there and none have been able to
overcome this.)
Is it even possible for custom formats to be fully integrated into
WMP's own library ?
Thanks for any pointers or enlightenment anyone can share. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262383
Any way to tell WMP11 to write ID3v2 only, not ID3v1?
Ok, this may seem like an odd request, but is there any way to tell
WMP11 to write ID3v2 tags only, not ID3v1, when tagging MP3 files?
Long story short, my mp3 player (TrekStor vibez) can play back LAME
encoded MP3 files gaplessly with absolute perfection, but only if they
don't contain any ID3v1 tags. I've been using Media Monkey to clean out
the ID3v1 tags where necessary, but if I want to re-edit any tag data
using WMP11, WMP adds back in ID3v1 data.
Thx. Tag: WMP 11.0.5721.5230: Stream naming Tag: 262381
