Windows Media Player-how create a playlist

howdoicreateaplaylist?

I just got a laptop, don't have a clue on how to create playlists?

Open Windows media player.  On the side right of the window see you 3 tabs, click the tab game and displays the reading pane.

1 drag selected titles / tracks in this pane groups

or select the titles / groups of tracks, do a right click, add to, Playlist

2 at the time at the top of the reading pane, there is a backup button.  Click on it and it will give you the chance to give it a name.  It will record this name playlist in the Playlists of music / [or the Playlists subfolder in what you chose for your music folder].

3 you can then play the list just like you can read an album or anything else.  If the playlists do not appear in the left hand "navigation pane" in WMP, click on organize, customize navigation pane & you can select them to be shown.

Note: I talked to someone who had a problem, save playlists.  It is then rendered in the music folder in Windows Explorer and manually created Playlists subfolder.  The function of economy playlist then behaved correctly.

There are also "auto-playlists' [created for each album ripped, I think] but you have to pick them up in Windows help pages that I've not used since WinXP so anything I said maybe garbage - they could not exist more for as far as I know.

What is the info you hoped?

    Once through, locate the Tools tab, options, all settings appear in a new window.

    You can specify where you want the stored files, other HDs are ok to store media.

    (Only option I could find was in burning CDs or audio, no video, see nothing that says Tools menu etc?) Unless it's just a term used)

    (I've looked everywhere on WMP, in and through the help screens, even online, I have found no opportunity to tell me what version I have or if a version update better etc was available for my Win 7 PC) Not sure if I'm in an old outdated version or something, where I can't see what kind of things etc.?

    Even WMP version that came with my PC rebuilt Win 7 so.

    As mentioned, until recently I've always stayed away from WMP because has always been too hard to navigate common options like that compared to other players like VLC, etc, where all the elements above have never been a problem, but I need to video option Preview of WMP, I guess that WMP isn't always as friendly so will need to understand more.

    I always try also confirm is there a way in WMP to display only, all files duplicate in the largest playlists etc? Thanks for the help!

    Windows media player how

    How to print a CD label for the playlist that I burned? I was not able to find a way to do it. I do not painfully a label using MS word. There should be a way to copy it and print it.

    You can export the play list to Word with the exporter of Info Media plug-ins, which is part of the WMP9 series Winter Fun Pack 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/wm_winterfun.mspx (do not worry about the label 'WMP9 Series', the plugin still works fine in newer versions).

    To export the playlist, select the playlists in the left sidebar of WMP, right-click the playlist and select send to - Media Info exporter .

  • Windows Media Player: How to compile files individual mp3 on a CD?

    I have several songs on my computer of several artists.  I want to do a CD customized to save on Windows Media Player, NOT a CD I want to burn and NOT a playlist.  I want to have my music organized in a particular way which is not possible during the extraction of my music.  What is the process to take songs from different artists already on my computer and the creation of a brand new CD (not a playlist) which will be recorded as well as my other CD?

    -The only thing you want to avoid is to mess up your Windows Media Library. I keep a folder 'temp music' on an external drive to do this kind of work, but you should be OK create a 'Documents' folder if you do not have an alternative...

    Create a folder with the title of your choice (I'll stick with "No Regrets" as was the example in my screenshot) - then select the mp3s you want and copy to this folder. The next steps must not be done in a particular order, but it helps to have some sort of routine so that you won't miss anything.

    1) renumber files in your order of preference - this may be done on the existing file name or in the tab "general" properties... I prefer the first option, just because it's simpler. In my example Bowie Rock' don't Roll Suicide change from being 11 RocknRoll etc. to be 01 R & R etc. (not to mention zero!)

    2) change the 'properties'... right click Select 'Properties' - tab "Details". First step is to go through each track and insert the "new" track number you chose - in my screenshot below "Come Undone", which was followed 6 on his original album is now 4 Tr (no zero here though!).

    3) bulk modify the other 'properties' - 'details' - "Album Artist" should become "Various Artists" (or just different if you prefer) and under 'The Album' change the title (for example ' No Regrets'). You can do it in a judgment by highlighting all the tracks and selecting 'Properties' 'details' - when completed, click on 'apply' and 'OK '...

    Optional steps (red mark) while making the big changes - I want to set one date just to keep it tidy, but little matter... I also gave my albums comp. "compilation" kind (it is not in the option list - just type it SE) advantage being that you can mix play of 'gender' view in WMP without getting duplicate titles (I also Hits albums re-kind artists 'Best Of... ("for the same reason), but still, it is not essential. -Visual aid...

    Before transferring the file in your best music library check in WMP "Organize" on the tabs 'player' 'library' and 'private life' all access to the internet to update media are denied if not he could cancel your hard work!

    Check through, and when you are happy, that you have all the exact details, you can paste it into the "Various Artists" folder in your music library (in my library, I have a folder 'Custom' for things like this but Various Artists is just fine)

    Album Art  In case you not did that before... Select an image (angular) click on 'copy', and then you can stick on 'album' in wmp display - just click on the square and click Paste (nb you will see only the "paste" option when you click 'copy' on an image!)

    PS I borrow all the info above to web pages or tutorials - it's just that I worked on myself over time if this cannot be an 'official' method, but it works well for me!

    I hope this helps you get the result! -Greetings - Ric

  • Windows Media Player-how delete the audio files in the WMP library and add album art

    How can I get rid of dublicate on WMP songs? How can I get all the cover art?

    To make WMP automatically look for the cover, make sure retrieve additional information from the Internet are checked in Tools - Options - Library (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu). The only add missing information option is recommended.

    Regarding duplicates, 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 on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. 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.

  • Windows Media Player - How to delete photos/videos

    On my dv8t running win 7 64 bit, when I download pix or videos on my laptop

    Sometimes I'll delete pix and videos from this area.

    When I open windows MEDIA PLAYER, if it goes to my pix, it shows pictures of the pix, HOWEVER,

    Exactly the same thing with videos. I tried to delete these Windows MEDIA PLAYER, however the icons

    which is now deleted pix & videos will not disappear.

    Anyone know how to get rid of 'em once and for all?
    Thank you

    Hi Billy,

    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to rebuild the library database.

    A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    Make sure that Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center are closed.

    Launch free Commander, double-click users, double-click on 'your username', double-click local settings, double-click Application Data, double-click Microsoft and double-click Media Player.  Delete all files with the extension .wmdb - do not delete all the files.

    Close the free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now start to rebuild the database of library which can take some time, but when it has finished you should see that you already deleted the files are no longer listed here.

    Kind regards

    DP - K
