Windows Media Player 11. Way to change the batteries in the album art library the order in artist view?

Hello

(A purely aesthetic problem here)

In windows media player when look at a library in the artist discovers mode, my albums are indicated as "batteries" under each name of respective artists. What determines the order of these batteries? Is it possible to choose the order yourself?

I want to be able to choose because I don't like the look of some of my album covers, and I'd rather have my favorites upstairs.

Thank you very much

Adam

Hi Adamclarke,

You can sort albums by choosing the options to sort the album art, title, length, rating and other areas.

Above the albums listed, right-click on the album and choose sort by album. In the same way, you can sort the other areas.

  • Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

    We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

    I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for any ideas you may have.

    Nolan

    (Moved to programs)

    Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

    Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

    But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

  • Windows Media Player 12 is not saving the changes I'm making

    I have entered my options library and made sure to select only to add missing information so nothing is not be replaced and yet I change information on some songs and it goes right back to the way it was. Is there a way I can save my changes?

    Right click on the MP3 files in Windows Explorer and go to Properties - Details . You can change the information?

    I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player 11 always starts playing the first piece of the library. How can I change this so the first song it plays is random or last played song.

    When I open Windows Media Player 11 the first song it plays is always the first song in my library.  I can't find the setting to change that to a song randomly or at the last song played before him close last time.

    You can try the function 'Restore media to start' of the Windows Media Player Plus! plugin.

  • Windows media player will not apply changes to databases of media

    Arrgh.  Windows media player has great potential but is so volatile.  I already reset the program and now I find I have to re - enter old info on the songs I copied analog.  the final problem is that it does not apply the information from the databases of media.  Looks like it's going to make the changes - but it doesn't.  Is there a way to reset the protocols for the application of media without resetting my together huge database.  hoping you can help.

    What type of file in your music files (MP3, WMA, WAV...)?

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    Usually, also, had to stop the WMP network sharing Service before you rebuild the library. Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click the service, and then click stop.
