  Recently installed the version of Windows Media Player, 11.0.5721.5280 and now whenever I play a piece PC stutters on audio producing a constant noise and freezes. Help, please!

  I suggest that you try to update the audio drivers to their latest version. Don't simply check Windows Update, but the site of the manufacturer of the sound card as well.

• What Version of Windows Media Player I have, and anyone who has used AVS4YOU?

  First of all, I would like to know what version of Windows Media Player I have on my 32 bit Vista computer.

  Second, I bought AVSAudioConverter and asked if I wanted to install Windows 11 runtime files. Should I install these runtime files, or just try it without having to install these files?

  ========================================
  Since you're running Vista... I suspect that you run Windows
  Media Player 11 but as t-4-2 says... go to help / about to check.

  There is some info on the executable files on the following link:

  Windows Media Format Runtime 11
  http://www.Softpedia.com/get/multimedia/video/codec-packs-video-codecs/Windows-Media-Format-Runtime-11.shtml

  More that likely... you didn't * need * files, but personally, I wouldn't
  have no problem to install them on my system.

  FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system
  Restore point before installing software or updates *.

• How always show the toolbar of the improvements in the latest version of Windows Media Player?

  I made the switch from XP to Win7 64 bit and I would like to get WMP to behave like the previous version where the playback speed settings were still visible after the opening of WMP. I can't figure out how to activate this visibility option in the latest version. In the current version, I have to open the menu of upgrades, select the toolbar, and then rearrange on the screen to make it visible, and then set the speed.

  Clues on how to solve this problem so that I see the toolbar automatically everytime I open the program? Thank you.

  Hi usp.

  I'm afraid to say that you shouldn't find this option open by default as it was in previous versions of Windows Media Player. And there is no work around to get its default opening because it's by the architecture of the software.
   
  However there is an improvement in the same, instead of the default toolbar that we had previously we an arrow below the now playing tab where you can navigate in the development option.
  Here's how:
  1. start the playback of a file.
  2. click on the arrow on the tab playing, point to enhancements, and then click play speed settings.
  3. move the speed slider play on the speed at which you want to read the content, or click the slow, Normal or fast.
  4. to select speeds between the speeds of game marked, in the enhancements pane, clear the cursor Snap box common speeds.
  5. to hide the settings, click Close in the enhancements pane.

• 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,.

• My music files have changed in WMA format in Windows Media Player, and now my MP3 player won't play them.

  My music files have changed in wma format in windows media player, and now my mp3 player won't play them.  can anyone help please.

  original title: Media Player

  Download and install WMA to MP3 Converter, then install it, you can get it here... http://www.WMA-MP3.org/

  Then select all the WMA files you want to convert, and then convert them to the MP3 Format.
  The reason why they are WMA is because when you ripped the files on the disc to your pc, by default, Windows Media Player is configured to save in the Windows Media Audio (WMA) Format.
  This default can be changed by opening Media Player and click on Tools > Options
  Then select the Rip music tab
  Format: select MP3 from the drop-down list.
  Click apply and OK.
  Now the next time you rip a CD on your drive hard it will be automatically saved as an MP3 file.

  If the video does not the restrictions of DRM (Digital Rights Management), so you can see just by changing the .mp4 extension allows it to be played in Windows Media Player, but if Apple added restrictions to the file DRM then you will be limited to such players as apple deems suitable to be used, probably iTunes or Quicktime.
