Windows Media Player 12 sort artists by year

Similar Questions

• 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.

  Greetings,

  Eureka! I got it! All Albums are organized based on output of the year! Thank you!

• 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.

• Windows media player artists name has additional symbol at the end

  In Windows Media Player, a little square symbol follows the name of the artist on some of the entries.  I try to remove it and it comes back.  This translates to a separate artist for a few songs in the same album.  Also, if I try to display songs from the artist, I get 8 different versions / inscriptions of the artist with the symbol of the square after the name, rather than an inscription by the artist with all his songs.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  Hi Robs_3415,

  You can see the article mentioned and check if the problem still persists.

• artist and song to view with windows media player 11 for cd burning

  I have roxio for burning CDs but it is gone. The only reason why I used roxio on windows media player that was when I burned a cd of the song and the artist would look on my car radio when read. Windows Media player does not. All this shows is channel 1 and so on. Why? Is there something I can do to get the WMP for the artist and the song appears on my car player after burning or I buy an another Roxio? Thanx.

• Windows Media Player displays only one album with the unknown artist.

  Original title: strange going ons

  When I go to my music using windows Explorer, it shows a folder named unknown artists with 7 subfolders.

  When I bring the windows media player, it displays only an album with an unknown artist.

  When I open one of these subfolders, writing the name of the artist, but all the tracks have been listed as track 1, track 2, track... in the library, that I went to this artist's album. He entered all the information correctly. When I clicked open the location of the file that shows the location of the albums as one of the subfolders under unknow artist and all tracks as track 1...

  so, how did we can list everything correctly in the library but point to incorrect information?

• Organize albums and artist music with Windows media player 12

  I have a few pieces of music that have the album artist and song metadata added. I move the files in my music folder. In Windows Media Player, the songs are grouped together in an album with titles correctly. I thought that WMP would move the files in the folders (album or artist), but the files are not moved.

  It's been a while since I added my library music (they are files, not CD). Is this a normal behavior does not move the actual files? Or that only happen during extraction of music from a CD?

  Thank you.

  Hi - Yes, you can add the music in any way that the costumes, but if you want organized by folder (and this is not already the case) you must create a folder of artist - and then in this context, a record album... In Windows 7, it's probably a good idea to do before moving to the music folder. I would like to know if you want any clarification of this... Best regards, Ric.

• I can't change the name of the artist in windows media player 12

  I just got a new computer with windows 7 and windows media player 12. I can't change the name of the artist... the only thing I can change is the name of the song. I have a bunch of songs apparently by an artist called "Various Artists" (even if the playlist on the right has the artist right next to the name of the song)

  After almost losing my mind I finally realized that if I went to 'Artist' under the music heading and 'edition' "various artists" by clicking right select edit and then it is empty. But that only put some of the songs in the right places. I have now 2 songs always under "Various Artists" and apparently no way to solve this problem. It's so frusterating. Is not able to organize and change the information the whole point of WMP? Why am I required to have two completely different artists and songs under the title "various artists" I'm afraid to download more music because if another song goes under "various artists" I could just smash my brand new computer.

  What version of WMP, I had on my old computer had an advanced tag editor... Why is it that has been subscribed? And then I'm on the subject it's terrible this new Windows Media player is why is there not more "recently added" tab? It would have been helpful in trying to find music mistagged I just add... or maybe I should remember that all the songs are technically 'Various Artists' and just look there first.

  You can also change the Album artist for the music , if you select the column of the Album artist , right click on a column heading and selecting ... Choose the columns . Tim Baets

• Windows Media Player 12 loses album artist information when you use WHS .wav

  There seems to be a bug in WMP 12 who loses the album artist information when you use a WHS .wav files.

  Installation - WMP 12 on Windows 7 ultimate. WHS pp3. Music files stored in .wav format.

  There is a marking Wav format is possible. I read on Broadcast Wav files. They are 32-bit. I also read on 64-bit Wav files. What I read there is a limit to the size of the files Wav 32-bit and 64-bit Wav files exceed this limit. Most of the people don't need now. But as a producer of music, I can see how me should before you. Look for a program called reason by Propellerhead software: http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/. I ' v read in their help file, you can send support and they will help you find what you need. I've also read about this and said a little on other internet forums for producers. I have no reason, I use another software.

  Broadcast Wav: He is apparently slightly different than regular Wav files. It doesn't have as much support. Some programs or systems apparently don't read the id3 tags, have trouble with the id3 tags or have trouble with this format. So until this id3 Wav tagging is common and Wav files EVENTUALLY get their marking permanently, then what is out at the moment is all that is available.

  WMA lossless, Wav and mp3 320 kbps, etc. have a difference in sound. Listen for yourself on your device with the SAME material and the SAME Ripper programs your test files.

  The other way I tested is: I make music. Then I tore, Wav, WMA Lossless and a type of lossless, mp3 320 Kbps and mp3 256 kbps. I put all the them in the music program, I separated, but on the same timeline. I cut everything that I did not listen. I spent some time checking them. There were notable and other differences not so. I noticed a difference in the WMA and WAV. It's light and sometimes noticeable. Most people cannot tell the difference, and an MA at home or in a club from a Wav will not be a huge difference, especially when a Dj, or you can set low, the midrange and treble slightly.

  I couldn't test the AAC lossless files. My program is old and can't stand them. AAFC would however close to WMA. Give or take.

  WAV is a champion and always the wins service. I wish he was marking. :-).

  Windows Media Player has a certain set of algorithms. And one CAN customize the tear. Some ripping programs ALLOW you to customize the way in which he is torn. But you can run into problems. For example: some compression or equalizer settings are perfect for 90% of an album, but most of the songs are recorded differently or edited and mixed differently. If they are not always level throughout the album, and there may be some fluctations.

  I myself would enjoy tears to measure for a better quality and even be able to MAXIMIZE the lossless or compressed (for example: mp3) formats and make their the best sound possible. But it takes too long, and most people don't have this time or need this. These people do as a profession, are HARDCORE audiophiles or archive sound for a much higher use,:-P.

  I don't know what are the algorithms of WMP to rip. ITunes or WinAmps, etc.. It comes to be able to do custom tears. These algorithms affect your copy, transfer and archiving. This is another reason why each program is slightly different, even when they use the same open or not open source coding.

  That's what I'v has learned. It's the best I got.

• Windows media player will not play videos that I created a few years back. they use to play very well; now, I received the acquired codec error message. I use wmp 11

  My old videos in my windows media player will not play. acquire CODECS rises. I get audio but not video for all the movies at home. Movies that I downloaded and clips play very well. How can I fix it. I use wmp 11.

  Hello satindoll11233,

  1. What is the exact error message you get when you try to play videos?

  2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

  3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

  Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

• Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

  I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

  So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
  He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
  At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
  The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
  It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
  EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• Multi-disc Albums in Windows Media Player

  I mainly use the Zune software for music, but I use WMP for music between computers.

  I have a number of two record albums, that Zune allows me to specify that the two disks of the same album, which allows me to keep the numbers of tracks (1 to X on each disc) and the order (Dsik 1, 1-X; Disc 1-Y 2).

  When I go to my music in WMP, however, it displays disc 1 track 1, track 2 1 disc, disc 1 track 2, etc.).

  Anyway so set up, like the Zune program so that I can have my songs in order without having to renumber WMP?

  Unfortunately, WMP does not account disk numbers when sorting of tracks, and there is no built-in setting to change this. However, the next major release of my Windows Media Player Plus! plugin will have a setting to WMP using the disk for sorting numbers. I'm hoping to release this new version early next year.
