  (b) in the Player tab, clear the checkbox Add music files to library when played .

  Now, when you play music on your computer or Internet files, the file will not be added automatically to the library.

• Sort Albums by year (Windows Media Player 11).

  Here's the question.

  I want to sort my music by artist and then by album release date (year). This can be accomplished by changing my rip directories, but there is no sorting option for this view in Windows Media Player 11.

  I wish that all the photos to sort through this way.
  Not in this way.

  Using the view 'Artist' will allow me to show all records artist separately, but once an artist is selected, all the pictures are sorted by alphabetical album title by default.

  Sort by 'File' is a difficulty, however, that one album can be played at a time.

  Ideally, a list of all the songs by artist, then album release date, then the album track number would be the most preferred look one and reading method. The ability to view the art of the cover of the album somewhere on the left side of the screen would be considered a bonus.

  This issue will never be treated? Is there a fix Windows Media 12?

  Only solution that I can think of is to change the album TAG. Example: "Album name" for "Album name (2000)", but is not preferred because 1, it is extra and incorrect information and 2, can cause database issues later on the road.

  Thank you. Please address or difficulty! I enjoy new Windows Media player and eager to pass that my primary music player.

  Figured it out myself!

  It is possible to sort the albums of the artist in order of launch date in Windows Media Player 11.

  Right click on the columns to sort near the top of the screen.

  Select "choose columns...". »

  At the bottom of the pop up option button, click the checkbox "include release date in default sort order."

  Which brings us to our next problem!

  Now, the albums are sorted from the newest to the oldest, as opposed to the desired direction chronologically from oldest to newest.

  You can click on the column heading 'Album' to use, but Windows Media Player 11 does not this preference of sort memory.

  Is there or is there a fix for this?

  Edit:

  Found my answer for that as well:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/library.mspx#q1_20

  It does not seem to WMP11 do not forget your sorting preferences was done intentionally.

  This concludes my questions and honestly, looks like a poor choice that I would like to see fixed.

  Hope this helps someone else in the future.

• Windows Media Player 'page not found' and .wax files

  Accidentally, I posted this in the Windows 7 forum, please excuse the double post:

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  I have problems when you try to play Windows Media Player/Media Guide/Internet Radio.

  When I chose 'listen' for a station, I get a box of "do you want to or save this open file."

  If I chose open, I get an error "this program cannot display this webpage".

  If I choose to save, I save a .wax file (at this time I going to my office for my mental health) and double click it to play the station I want to hear.  It's very annoying.

  I want to do a lot and hope that there is a way to make this process much easier.

  I have Windows Media Player 11.0 on Vista Home Premium.  I tried to update and it says there is no update.

  Thanks again for your help

  Please try to set WMP as default player again, by selecting it in the list and click set this program as default .

  In addition, this happens with all radio stations, or just one?

  The dialog box that opens gets also a checkbox called always ask before opening this type of file ? If so, you can clear the check box and click Open , and the dialog box should not appear more after that.

  If that doesn't help either, you can try to delete temporary Internet files and the Internet Explorer Cookies.

• How to download codecs automatically by using Windows Media Player 12

  I like to "Download codecs automatically" in windows media player 12 (windows 7 ultimate 64-bit) __BUT I HAVE THE CHECKBOX in the usual place (Player Options tab)

  I like to "Download codecs automatically" in windows media player 12 (windows 7 ultimate 64-bit)
  BUT I don't HAVE THE BOX at the usual place (Player Options tab)
  What Miss me? Help
  In the end, I try to play videos that I have sound but no video (mpg and m2ts)

  You seriously telling us that Microsoft has not a prepackaged Windows Media Player Codec Pack which can be downloaded from a Microsoft site, what your position is for us to download from a site know us nothing and take our chances on getting a virus?  Really?  The least we could do is to recommend a no from which to download Microsoft site.  Which would at least give some confidence that we won't get caught by the other site.

  Media Player never download MS CODECs. Those who are already included in Win7. 3rd party CODECs always had to be downloaded separately or have been installed along with media related applications that use. 3rd party CODECs are subject to other fees for licensing, copyright of parties with a few being free or free. Downloaded codec packs do not necessarily include a legal copy of copyrighted codecs and installers can also replace your legitimate functional codecs with illicit or obsolete versions, or poor quality hacks.

  Install FFDSHOW instead and you probably won't need any other CODECs. http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.NET/

• Windows Media Player 12 will not play mp4, mp3, wmv files through IIS hosted local site when the PC is disconnected from the Internet

  I have an IIS Web site 6.1 on local 32-bit Windows 7 machine that serves HTML and MP4 videos via Internet Explorer on the local computer.  An internet connection is not necessary because it is all local storage and local accommodations through IIS.  IIS is configured to serve the MP4 videos in the form of downloadable files, don't not streaming somehow.  I have the right MIME type ".mp4" with the installation of "video/mp4" in the IIS server, so I don't think that's the problem.

  When the machine is connected to the internet, by clicking on a video link MP4 in any HTML page served by the local IIS server results in Windows Media Player opening and playing the video in its own window.  However, when the Ethernet cable is unplugged, by clicking on the same results of video link MP4 in Windows Media Player by opening its own window, and then display this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file.  If the file is on the Internet, connect to the Internet.  If the file is on a removable storage card, insert the storage card.

  It's almost as if Windows Media Player has a bug and since it accesses this media file via a URL, but the machine is not connected to a network, he thinks that this file is unplayable.

  When the Ethernet cable is disconnected, the local IIS server is still all the HTML code and ActiveX content except for media files.  I also tried to access MP3 and WMV files via the IIS server to see if Windows Media Player will open those when the computer is disconnected from the Internet.  These caused also Windows Media Player files display the same error message.

  I tried the VLC (VideoLAN) Player after changing the property file in VLC of WMP for .mp4 files extension.  With VLC installed and the extension changed to VLS property, I can download/open the MP4 video using the link in the web page served by IIS all when they are disconnected from the internet.  The only thing I can't do is get VLC player to open and play the video simply by clicking on the link in Internet Explore web pages served by the local IIS server.

  I would like to make use of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player with this IIS server that serves the MP4 videos rather than using VLC player.

  Thank you

  Michael Rayman

  I finally found the answer to my problem:

  When they are disconnected from the internet, mysteriously, Windows Media Player 12 requires that you check a checkbox in tools > Options... > zone settings tab player called "Internet connection (ignore the other commands).  Once this box is checked and the settings saved on APPLY, then Windows Media Player 12 will play videos served by the local IIS server on the same machine, while disconnected from the Internet.

• Windows Media Player - corrupted library

  Separated from this thread.

  EIS,

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

  I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

  files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

  Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

  bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
   
  As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

  ranking).

  Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

  2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
  3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
  4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

  engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

  seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
  5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
  5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

  successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

  cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

  If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

  Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

  There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.
