Windows Media Player 11 boring!

Note Windows Media Player will sometimes referred to as wmp in the things of type I.

I have Windows Media Player 11 on my Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 (Windows XP family 32-bit) and all the songs in my library have names, but the artist, the kind, etc. are all unknown. (this applies also to the songs on my USB key) They used to be very well organized and very well now, they are all under 1 long list everything but name unknown

Also, I can't click on a song or video to open wmp. I have to open wmp on my desktop, then click on the song in the folder play
I heard somewhere, you can enter a folder: C:/DocumentsandSettings / (name) or something and remove all .wmdb files and it will solve all the problems of Windows Media Player 10, 11 or 12. (I probably will not be able to get this site for you)
Is it because the Windows Media Technologies goes out of service at Microsoft because Windows 8 (which sucks by the way) does not use Windows Media?

  • Music in Spotify, iTunes and Windows Media Player

    Well, I tried to use my programs of music on my computer for about a week and a half now, and that they won't play all my music. Not at all.  I went to support these programs, but they did not really help. I also checked to see if any of them were incompatible with my computer, which iTunes was the only one, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version 64-bit for Windows 8 and still nothing.

    I don't know if it's the sound of my computer, which I don't think it is, because it works for everything else except these three programs. And I have no idea why, and frankly, it's getting boring. I also checked my device manager and my sound system and everything is working properly.

    Anyone who can help and give me some answers on this as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • No sound in windows media player (11.0.6002.18111) only trying to play mp3 files. No way of fixing/uninstallation or reinstallation. Need advice!

    I recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player 11 (a specific version in the title of the topic) where no sound play atall when you try to play mp3 files. When trying to play a track of the progress indicator moves VERY slowly and jumps in a stuttering mode and no sound whatsoever is coming through the speakers. He is a recent problem.

    All audio files work on other audio programs like Real player, quick time e.t.c. and the sound comes from the computer normally. Only the sound that I have are with windows media player when you try to play mp3 files. Still fine read video files, wav files play fine. How boring is that he suddenly decided he likes are more mp3 files!

    More annoying, I stumbled upon the fact that I can't uninstall the reader as in Vista, it is part of the operating system literal, I can't download and install WMP install package from Microsoft because I tried and it tells me that I have a more recent version of Windows media player and therefore impossible to use the downloaded Setup program to install or repair windows media player. It is therefore impossible for me to get an installation package that is newer than the one on the computer, you would have thought that the downloadable installation on the microsoft Web site would be the more recent but no!

    I can't think of a way to solve this problem. For me it feels strongly a Codec issue to do with MP3 and WMP but I don't really know about Codecs enough to go on the setting of the specific Codec with the question, or even track down which codec it is perhaps whether she "is" a codec problem in the first place.

    I tried settings with the menu of options in WMP 11 troubleshooting unsuccessful (obviously), I also tried an audio tool / repair of breakdowns than microsfts audio troubleshooting prompted me to try, that of no problems with the actual audio devices on the system... I KNOW, his problem with WMP and mp3 files!

    So, to summarize, WMP doesn't read MP3 files, I can't run a repair tool that there is no 'installation' to WMP 11 package, it is not an uninstall utility is which means that I can't uninstall it to reinstall a new, I can't download the installation package and run it as apparently I have a more current version than is available on the microsoft Web site. Then what should I do?

    I need some advice on how to go about trying to solve this problem I've hit a bit of a brick wall...

    Any advice would be much appreciated!

    FIXED!

    randomly enough rate and bit depth format sample somehow has set high in the sound control panel, advanced driver.

    After hitting "restore defaults" it resets the depth of rate and little sample return at: 16 bit 44.1 khz

    The sound now plays perfectly.

    Weird it performs only mp3 files!

    Thanks for the help people, it seems that I ended up sorting out on my own though! Yay for me! haha

  • Problem with the display of a video frame in Windows Media Player 11 on Vista

    Hello

    I am having some problems with the Windows Media Player 11 on Vista. On my XP machine, when I discovered a video frame by frame, it works perfectly back and forth. However when I try to play the same video on my Vista machine, the button to the front of the image works perfectly fine but the previous image button takes video from 5 to 10 frames. Since I use my machine Vista more and need this feature often enough, it gets boring very quickly. It is a drive problem (since the same player works great under XP with the same video) and can be solved with a patch or some sort?

    Thank you

    Hello Helloaamir,

    Thank you for posting.  I understand the problem you are having, but I do not understand why in the need for these features.  Depending on what you're trying to do, may be able to use Movie Maker instead of it you also has characteristics of the image by image.  If you could include that you are using this feature, because I can give you a good alternative or possible difficulty of deliverance.

    Looking forward to help you any further. Zack

    Hello

    I have a whole collection of music on Windows Media Player.

    I just bought an underwater Nabaiji MP3 player which is a 2 GB, so I can swim to the music as it becomes boring just to get on and off the track.

    It says on the instructions which are very vague and little "Store musicnin the menu root products"and"this player supports MP3 and WMA music files and this player is PC and MAC compatible and connects via a USB cable supplied with the unit.

    Then I plugged the USB and came Nabaiji MP3 icon.

    Because of the music I have on Windows Media Player, being much more 2 GB, I followed the depth in Windows Media Player instructions to synchronize the music chosen on the unit as follows:

    1. I made a playlist and title it.

    2. I sync to the device list.

    3. it will still play music on the device.

    As quite a novice in this area please can someone help me because I lost 11 hours so far and get to the stage where the PC almost took a hammer to it.  Very frustarting and might make you cry.

  • Can't rip CD on Windows media Player

    Hello, I'm using Windows Media Player to rip a Cd. This is my Cd I paid for it.

    When I insert the Cd in the tray it should automatically pick the Cd and find the 'Album' info when I right click on the Cd icon and select "find album info".

    This isn't.

    The Cd I am tearing is "Psalms read by Alex Jennings. This is an audio book. It is the 4 Cd set.

    The first result of the search is Jennings Jennings 13 titles. It is impossible to find a Cd with the right amount of titles. the Cd has 38 tracks on Cd 1.

    Why the search engine cannot filter all CDs without the right number of titles. I think that Microsoft has left this long outstanding issue.

    It is not the first time WMP miserably failed with the utility "find album."

    Can someone enter the search terms and try themseles please?

    Try 'The Psalms Alex Jennings' without the quotes and see what you get.

    Windows 7 Ultimate on a Sony Vaio laptop.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Personally, I can't believe that Microsoft is ignorant of this weakness in WMP. I even bought mediamonkey to try to sort out them. There can be no.

    I understand your concerns because I stayed clear of iTunes, until I bought a system of audio broadcasting in January. Quite by accident I discovered that this was by far the best player for streaming, and it has a library easy to use really too. As researcher W7 user I can assure you that I had no problem with it.

    The only other way around your problem would be to conclude everything manually, and then if you missed a setting somewhere wmp can go and "update" it for you with all the wrong information... I had that happen too, it is so boring!

  • No video, only the sound in Windows Media Player

    Hello. Out of nowhere my videos stopped playing in Windows Media Player and I get sound. Most show a static of a frame of my video picture, while others display the icon by default windows media player. In both cases the sound plays normally but no mobile video!
    All videos play perfectly (both video and audio) in Windows Media Center, however I prefer to have them play in the drive by default as they did. I did some research online and tried a few things, but nothing worked and I'm hesitant to download codecs that can be harmful.  Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

    When you tried "System Restore" to what extent did you go back - it was automatically a restore point, or before the updates, etc. have been installed?

  • Problems with fluctuating volume of Windows Media Player

    After that I transferred MP3/WAV files to my old laptop which has Vista... for my new laptop which has Windows 7, my windows media player then started acting crazy during playback of music files.  The volume goes up and down, and during parties strong songs, it goes almost silent... with a few songs, it becomes just as hard very quickly and then just cut all together.  I tried tools audio fix from microsoft, and they were unable to help him.  Basically, it sounds like when you listen to music, and you would simply continue to cupping your ears again and again, as you can imagine is really annoying while you try to listen to music

    Try the following steps, presented by another poster, JoeyNice:

    6 steps that have helped me with this problem:

    (After looking at a few ideas from there I went and did my own investigation and arrested next steps the boring windows media player playback sound fluctuations)

    (1.) start the media player and go into menu improvements in media player andreset all default media player improvements and disable all improvements and equalizer, etc...

    (2.) do right click the speaker volume icon (located in the lower right corner of windows in the area of programs/notification bar) then andclick 'sounds' in the right click menu (or if "speaker" icon is not in the notification bar go to control panel and click on 'sounds')

    (3.) in the sounds of communications click menu tab and select 'status quo '.

    4.) , while on the sounds tab menu click play, and then click speakers allowing you to then click on properties

    5.) in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to improvements and select 'Disable all sound effects'

    6.) while in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to the Advanced tab and "restore default settings" , then click on apply and then OK and then apply and ok again and the sound menu

    These steps allowed me to be able to go to windows media player and listen to music with no fluctations (and you can now be able to turn on the equalizer again if you want to make adjustments, but if this causes the fluctuation back just turn Equalizer back off.) I could turn it back on after you follow the steps above with no fluctuation)

    Let us know if this suggestion helps with your problem of fluctuating volume.

  • Windows Media Player 12-impossible to scroll to the next song in the song playing

    Windows Media Player 12

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 on my computer, it is already installed with Windows Media Player 12, I find that when I chose a song to play, I don't, when I take another song to play, I can not scroll the next song in the song that is already running, like WMP 12, DO NOT HAVE THAT FUNCTION, to allow me to do still in the older version of WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11, you can do it, I know that creating a playlist would solve this problem, but I don't want to do that, Jean-Claude, I had sometimes simply highlight a song anywhere on the playlist & scroll downwards or upwards, directly below the song playing already also, in the main selection, I can't organize my songs in order, I like to do that as well, and yet, in WMP 11, you can also do.

    Why the new version of WMP 12, did not have these features, as the older versions had, I am very disappointed in WMP 12, it is simply & boring, I can't even add color improvement for WMP 12 because there is no function for this as well.

    BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION OF WMP 11, I SAY, CAUSE OF WMP 12 SUCKS!

    Do you mean that you always want to see the playlist Now Playing music while? In WMP 12, read the list is hidden by default. In library mode, click reading (top) to bring him back. In now playing mode, right-click on a blank area and select list . Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player very slow on network

    After having upgraded to Windows 7, I noticed that Windows Media Player 11 is painfully and stupidly slow, during the handling of the media streamed on my network.

    A playlist with just 100 items may take minutes to load and actually it scrolling... Well, glacial activity seems fast in comparison. I actually cannot scrolling playlists from a PC on a network - it's this slow. It is enough to click the scroll bar and hope I hit to the right place!

    Once that she's going to get, that's fine. The media broadcasts nicely and theres no lag. However, for the first two minutes, I can't jump on video, or pass them / prev item...

    Is this a known issue? Perhaps with knowledge to solve?

    Boring technical details:

    PC running Win 7, server with media running Windows Vista SP2.
    While the server is not exactly modern, do not this slow - it responds very well when you use desktop to distance or standard network of navigation, for example.

    Playlists are created by mounting the disc of servers and just drag media in the playlist. Nothing complicated.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Kind regards

  • Windows Media Player 12 playlist drag function

    I had this problem for a long time and I tried to deal just with her, but seriously, it's pretty boring.

    When I want to rearrange the songs in my playlist (for example, move a piece from the bottom to the top), it takes literally 5 minutes to get to the top. In other words, it just scrolls very slowly, as I remember in the past (on other versions of Windows Media Player), that I would be able to scroll to the top of the playlist and drop the song there in 2 seconds.
    I thought it might be my mouse at first, but I tried another mouse and same problem.
