  • 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.

    My PC: Windows Vista Business

    Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

    When I try to play one of the songs in Windows Media Player, I get the following message:

    ==================================
    M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
    is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
    then import into Movie Maker.

    The following free Converter works for me...

    Free Mp3 Wma Converter
    http://www.download.com/free-MP3-WMA-converter/3000-2140_4-10442362.html
    (FWIW if you install the converter, you can uncheck
    offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you can uncheck
    the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

    ==================================
    I joined just thinking... the free VLC Media Player
    and or Media Player Classic allows you to 'play '.
    your files of .m4a... but they will have to if conversion
    you want to use in Movie Maker.

  • Titles of songs badly in Windows Media Player 12

    I'm new to WMP. I put in a CD store bought (best of disc 1 of 3), and it plays fine except it shows titles for one of the other disks.

    What can be done to fix this?

    WMP uses a 3rd party database and "called" there whenever you are playing a CD or mp3, whatever.

    However, you must have some options checked in WMP let call home (the database) that is, your internet connection must be active.

    In WMP: Tools / Options / then in the Library tab, make sure that ' Get additional Information from the Internet (or a similar text) is checked / in the Player tab, make sure that Connect to the Internet is also checked.» Restart the program.

    WMP should now update the news of defective or missing information. However, it is only as good as the 3rd party database... which is sometimes wrong!

    See you soon,.

  • How to separate the songs on 'album' in my Media Player?

    Recently I had to restore my computer to factory settings.  I did back up disks for all my personal files, including my Limewire p2p files.  When I ripped the songs in p2p file media player, they all now show as AN unknown album.  I have entered the correct information for each song manually, but it still shows the all in one unknown album.  How can I put these songs back in their own files, each with its own album info?  I asked this before, but the only response I got was to direct me to add or change information about the media that did not help.  When I followed the directions of change, he put the same information on all 99 songs instead of just one, I tried to change.  I use Media Player 11, Windows XP.

    It's a good question... have never used this software, but all software music packages are basically the same. BTW, I personally never use a format sync or auto program, I spend everything myself.
    What is "drag and drop". Exactly like it sounds, you click left and hold the file/pic/mp3 that you want to move, and then drag to the new location where you want and 'falling' release the left button of the mouse.
    Here is a tutorial on Windows Media Player... as I said, most of the music programs are quite similar.

  • 5 seconds before the end of each song, windows media player freezes about 1-2 seconds

    Hello

    I'm having this problem with Windows Media Player. I use WMP12 to play songs in MP3 format. Just before each channel ends, approx. ~ 5 seconds before the end of each song, for example, the media player seems pauses / freezes for 1-1.5 seconds. The freeze/pause is defintiely not intentional - the gel looks as if WMP is having a problem reading from a file.

    I searched but not solution yet discovered. I have turned on SRS WOW. I don't see as a problem because otherwise the songs play fine - disablying SRS WOW is not what you can call the problem. In addition, the reason why WMP stands out for me is its SRS WOW. If I'm not going to need SRS WOW, so I guess use VLC/MediaPlayerClassic, for example.

    Please help me. Thank you. The gel all spoils!

    UPDATE: I think it is about 5-10 seconds before the end of each song, the freeze occurs. I just had a.

    Yes, you can try to uninstall the current driver first.

    If this does not help, I suggest you check out the real manufacturer of the sound card. If the sound card is not made by Samsung, then it is possible that you will find newer drivers on the website of the real manufacturer.

  • Media Player deletes all the songs that were added just for the external drive

    I am using Windows 7 media player. I start the media player and my music list is empty.  Media Player begins to add songs to my portable media player. After adding songs it removes so all of the songs added.  What I can do to keep the songs is the library?

    Hello

    1. have you tried to play the songs of the external hard drive?
    When you remove the external hard drive, you will lose the library of the media player library list, it's the design of the media player library and this is how it works in the location list monitoring.

    However, if you want to keep the music files in the library even after having remove the external HARD drive, you do not delete the location in the location tracking list. You can add the location to avoid the problem.
