    - Renaming MP3 Files Does anyone know if it's possible for WMP11 to rename underlying MP3 filenames using info from WMP11's tags? For example, I want to use a track's WMP11 artist name, album name, track number and track name tags to rename the MP3 file underlying that same library track. My issue is that although my library is pretty organized (20k+ tracks) using the tags within WMP11 , the underlying MP3 filenames are unchanged from their original filenames and do not always have complete or consistent information. As well, if I ever exported these tracks to another computer, I want to remove the risk that the tags won't be recognized, as has happened to me before when transitioning from one program to another (e.g. from MMJB to WMP). FWIW, MusicMatch JukeBox had a cool feature where you could "reverse tag" your files wherein it references the tag information to derive a new name for each track in the batch of tracks you have selected (even the whole library if you wanted - it would just take a while). As a result, I was able to rename all of my MP3 files into a consistent format. Is this something I can do in WMP11? Tag: WMP 11 cannot play avi files Tag: 264141

    - wmp won't recognize sony mp3 player that included version 11 wmp I have checked my usb ports and they are working. When I connect my mp3, the window comes up and asks if I want to use wmp. I say yes. My mp3 came with a CD with napster promotional, mp3 operating guide and wmp version 11. I have all my music transferred, ( I was very happily using musicmatch previously) and created a playlist that I have dragged to the sync box. However, the start sync button and connect to device buttons are inactive. When I click sync at the top, it only gives me 3 options: refresh devices (which I have done and it says it's completed), more options which lists my CD drive, display and speakers, and help with sync which has not been useful. My mp3 player is a Sony NWZ S616F and has the wmp monogram that says 'plays for sure'. PLEASE HELP ME! Tag: WMP 11 cannot play avi files Tag: 264138

    - Seeing full song titles My media player was just updated and now I can't see full song titles at a glance--they've been cut off by stars for some kind of rating feature I don't want and will never use.

    - WMP error after 6/25 updates. Yesterday morning at around 8:30am, Windows Update informed of a usual round of updates from Microsoft for my system. I let them automatically install as normal. I am on Windows Vista, and keep my system and programs frequently updated. Shortly thereafter, when using Windows Media Player, I encountered the following error popup whenever attempting to play a media file: (The file's visual aspects will still play, but the audio will not, and obviously the popup prevents using any commands.) "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct." Clicking "Web Help" brings me to the following URL listing several inapplicable situations (especially considering I have never ripped any files from a CD): http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6000.6344&id=C00D11D2&contextid=87&originalid=80070005 I've been given the run-around by tech support just a moment ago, advising me to basically beg here hoping to get lucky, or to pay them for phone support on a problem they caused.

    - Editing the WMP Library I've ripped several hundred vinyl LP's to WMP11. I've also had to "find album info" on the web to add track titles, artist, composer and cover art. All of my files are wav files. Now, I need to move my media files from my local computer to a NAS. However, when I move the .wav files and have WMP rebulid the library database, all of my vinyl LP tracks get thrown into one "Unknow" album and I lose all of the cover art for all of my albums (including CD's that I ripped using WMP 11. How do I move my media files w/o losing all of the custom info that I had to load for my vinyl LP's? Why do I lose the cover art and first track of all of my ripped CD's? Thanks in advance.

    - Shuffle Options - Feedback to Microsoft I was wondering where I go to give suggestions for Media Player? Would be great if we had more options for shuffling rather than a single button which shuffles through all songs. For example, if a user's library has a large proportion of songs from a single artist, that artist will have a disproportionately large play in any shuffle list, which a user may not want.

    - No audio or default sounds, error message Hi all, My computer is suffering from some horrible symptoms at the moment; it cannot even cough a sound. The only sound it can make is the default ringing when the computer starts. The computer crashed while I tried to load a video file on a local news channel (it's WMP plug-in). An error message/solution appeared in bubble at the taskbar, clicked it, and a message glaring at me in blue said, "a program that uses the waveOutWrite" function on a Windows Vista-based computer: "MMSYSERR_NODRIVER". There was a link, which I obviously followed. I followed the link for the 32-bit systems, opened it after installation, and nothing happened. Searched on Microsoft for "936316" and updated my system with the Service Package. Again, I got nothing. Checked, and I have an audio driver installed--Realteck High Definition Audio. Now, can someone kindly help me to at least pinpoint this ghastly disease? Is this a problem with the OS or the computer itself? Again, the only audio I can hear is when the computer starts, with the default ding-ding-ding. Thanks for any valuable information. Tag: WMP 11 cannot play avi files Tag: 264101

    - Breaks in shared music when programs open When I try to use WMP 11 on XP to share mp3 files I get breaks in the music whenever my computer opens a program. This does not appear to be a problem with my network or playback device (d-link 320) or indeed with resources on my computer. I can have a dozen programs open and running, including memory and CPU resource hogs like an anti-virus program doing a check, a backup program running, huge files being copied over the network, and the music sharing works just fine. But if one little new program opens, it can be Notepad, or Calculator even, there is inevitable a break in the music being shared. Is there any solution to this problem?

    - WMP 11 Library Entries Point to Folders on Removable Disk - disapp I keep my media folders on an external USB hard drive, which I move around from machine to machine. I have added the drive letter and folder to the WMP11 monitored folders and also made it the default destination for ripping CD output. However, after removing the USB drive and reattaching it sometime later, the WMP11 library has "forgotten" about the folders and album information and must re-scan and repopulate the library catalog every time.

    - WMP11 fails to open MP332 Hi all... Pleasant evening to you... Recently, I purchased a new portable media device, and downloaded two audiobooks. I was able to play them both in my ZEN as well as on my Base Con' with WMP11... To recoupe some memory, I decided to burn them to CD, and delete them from my hard drive. Then - upon researching to see if I had indeed orchestrated a workable backup archive, I cannot get WMP11 to open the files. They do show up on the E: drive as being there, in MP332 format, but I can't get them to open with WMP11 or Alsong. If anyone has any ideas, in an EZ to follow format, please shoot me a line and lend a hand. It's not life threatening, or anything dire, as I still have them in my ZEN, just curious as to what happened, and I don't want to make a disaster of a mistake NEXT time! Thanx in advance.

It says MP 10 isn't compatible with 'this version of Windows'. My Windows update automatically installed service pack 3 and apparently MP 10 is not compatible with the new service pack.

    - Choppy Playback and Stuttering I am currently using a Compaq Presario C700 series notebook with Vista Home Premium on it. For whatever odd reason, whenever I try and play some songs, (all songs are .mp3) it stutters and jumps around almost as if it was a CD that had a scratch and was skipping. I have looked around but have haven't seen anyone else with this problem, except for the thing with the Dells, but that doesn't help me much. I'm running WMP 11. The strangest thing is that it only has this problem on some songs, and it seems to switch songs, sometimes it is one, and then if I go to play it at another time, it seems to be alright.

That indicates the codec for that AVI is missing.

What codec does the file use?
