How I rate songs in the details pane in Windows Media Player

* Original title: how I rate songs in the details pane.

When I click on the rating stars in the Details pane the star color is pale blue. The button does not meet the selected note. The help instructions are pretty useless. Trying to extract music from an audio cd it took me 45 minutes to find the rip button. I found out, the unit must first click. I would like to know how to use it, but as changed Windows operating system I could not keep pace. The instructions got more confusion. Help resources if you can?

Hi Joe Drouse,

Try to start Windows Media Player as admin.  If you right-click on the icon and choose Run as administrator, then try to note the songs, it works?

Please let us know.

Thank you!

  • How I just play all my songs randomly in my v12 to Windows Media Player library?

    How to play just all my songs randomly in my v12 for Windows Media Player that are in the library?

    It seems that I must make a playlist named 'all' select all the music then play this list. So I need to do each time I have download more music on the computer. New music in the library that it scans the concerned disks but then reading list "all" is old and lack the new songs. There must be an easier way that I'm missing that works without need to create a new play list whenever I have add new music to my computer. Anyone know?

    The right limit MP3 was just an example, they touch the part that is in you is to customize the filter for your library: "then, we must take a test that corresponds to all the songs.

    Another option is to simply add a "sort by", which filter actually at all.  Then, you just play with Shuffle on if you want to ignore the sorting criteria.

    You can add a file type filter, and even if the mp3/wma/wav files selector is a drop down, if you click on it and then start to type, you can type "blah" and change the first drop until "is not.  That said, includes all files that are NOT of type of file "blah".  This means that all file types will be paired because he is not a real file of 'blah' type  I tested and it works fine.

    Similar approach could be taken with any of the other filters such as title/Album etc. by selecting "Filename" 'Is not' 'asdflkjsdflskjfsd' and that includes all the files except the one named "asdflkjsdflskjfsd" music :)

    Another approach would be to just use a filter aside and say 'at least is' 'Unrated', which will include essentially all of the songs that they have a side or not.  I don't know if some of the more obscure types of music files will have sides, but as I don't know where this information is stored, certain types of files may not support it.

    "More...". ""File size""is at least""0 ".

    I could go on.

    Unlike other MP3 players, iPods use the software Apple iTunes to transfer music to the computer. Using iTunes, you can store a music library on your computer.

    If you are using Windows Vista, you must go to the Apple web site and download iTunes for your version of Vista.  Then you can sync your iPod with your computer.

    Windows Media Player are not compatible with the iPod. To work around the problem, you can search for a third party plug-in syncing the iPod to your windows media player online.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod to Windows Media Player?

    Windows media player/Center

    How can I transfer music from my iPod to Windows Media Player?

    WMP is not built-in iPod support, so you will need to use another media player, such as iTunes or Winamp, to get the music from the iPod to the PC (I don't know if iTunes will allow you to do, but Winamp will certainly be).

    If you then copy the music files to your personal music collection, they appear automatically in the WMP library.

  • I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop

    I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop.

    I could at some point... but now all I get is audio, no video.  The files open and work on

    my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda.  Seemed

    This all started when I upgraded Windows more late service CAP and also installed Real Player.

    Hello

    • What version of Windows are you using?

    1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.

    2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
    It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    3. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.

    Method 1:
    Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2:
    You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

    Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

    If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.

  • What is the latest version of Windows Media Player compatible with WM 6.5?

    I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone.  What is the latest version of Windows Media Player, I can use?

    You can not.

    Your question was not entirely clear.

    WMP is for XP, not the HTC device. If you have Windows mobile on your HTC, then it will be a Media Player built into it. If you have the latest version, AFAIK you update from 6.5 to what is the latest version of Windows Mobile. If its 6.5, then you already have the latest version.

    You can also see the MS Windows Mobile...

    See you soon,.

  • The tab network on Windows media player does not open

    I can't open the network on Windows media player 11 despite uninstall and reinstall twice. I even brought back to WMP 10 and even on the network tab would not open. any ideas, anyone please?

    Hi Mooby00,

    1. what happens when you try to access the network tab?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    I suggest that restore you to the basic version of Windows media player in Windows XP, which is version 9 and check if the problem persists.

    I hope this helps!
