Windows Media Player 12 Double click adds all the songs?

Hey all the...

Has anyone another terribly frustrated summer when you create a playlist by mistake, you double-click a song in your library, remove the current songs you've invested time in the selection and replaces all of your library (or, as many songs that are in your current view)?  I can't find a way to change this behavior in WMP 12.  There is a registry edit in WMP 11, which made it SO much more pleasant to use player.

Please tell me I'm not the only one, and someone (including you Microsoft) has a solution for this.  If this isn't the case, I'm done with this player.  Easily one of the behaviors the most ridiculous thing I've seen in an application.

Look forward to your experiences and solution!

Hello

The behavior that you experience in Windows media player 12 has a default design. I suggest you not to make any changes to the registry, which could cause your computer to run normally.

Hope this helps,

  • Windows Media Player 11 - right click "Add/enqueue" option missing - cannot load the contents of the folder

    Hello

    Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18005 for my Vista 64-bit system worked very well for me.  I could right click on any folder containing my Mp3 files and select 'Add to the reader' or 'enqueue' and it would then open and read my files that are in the folder.

    However, for some reason this right click on the option is now missing from my right click menu.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Alright!

    It's a simple solution... I had apparently made a universal change to display the parameters of the files from my Vista, and it removed the 'Music Details' option in the combo box with area to "Customize" options files in the properties...

    I just changed the "Music Details" option for the kind of file, I want it to be... and voila!  .. "Add to Windows Media Player play list" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options are available again for me via a right-click on these files.

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

    Step 2:

    Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

    I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

    Thank you

    Paresh

    Hello Paresh,

    The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

    Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.

    Don't know why Windows Media Player does not accept your mpeg.

    Just a suggestion:

    Use a video converter and change your mpeg to wmv format and read it.

    If you don't have a video converter, google for a free Converter. No need to buy a.

    You can also install VLC media player.
    It's free.
    He plays almost all kinds of formats.
