• I can't minimize my Windows Media Player to the taskbar.

  Previously, my WMP can be minimized in the taskbar. But after that I did a cleaning of my registry, he could not want to work more.
  'Accidentally' delete all file related to it? If so, can I get back because I like to have my WMP in my taskbar.
  FYI, the option of WMP toolbar on the taskbar already ticked.

  These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

  Hi Timothy,.

  You can use the software provided by the camera to transfer music from your device to the computer. You can consult the documentation provided with the device.

  Windows Media Player is used to copy music, videos and pictures of the Player library to a portable device, such as a compatible MP3 player. See the link below

• Is there a possibility that MusicBrainz can be added as a data provider for Windows Media Player

  When you use Windows Media Player, I was hurt a lot to identify my music. A lot of music I have is not available in the Microsoft music meta service database. What gives? Would be nice if Microsoft could be added to their database. MusicBrainz is a big data provider for Windows Media Player and would make it easier for information about the available media. Data MusicBrainz are permitted in the public domain and some under Creative Commons (CC) license. I don't think that Rovi has a contract saying to Microsoft data to use. I can cite other data in addition to the AMG providers: Journal of CD Japan, CD newspaper China, ZACR DBS and feedback from users. I can almost guarantee you if Microsoft used the MusicBrainz data, Windows Media Player would be much easier for the Organization of the music. Data MusicBrainz are much better quality than WMP user feedback data.
