• How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

  original title: program music keyboard key

  How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

  Thank you

  Drew

  As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.

  If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.

  So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:

  1. Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
  2. In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
  3. The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
     Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.

  You should find everything you need there.

• Windows Media Player is launched in Now Playing view

  A week ago, I changed the display in Windows Media Player 12 to "Now Playing" for the first time. Since then, no matter what I try, WMP will be open in library view, then quickly switch to the now playing view. I thought initially it just opens to the view that was closed in last, but such is not the case. How can he put if it opens and stay in the default library view?

  Thank you for any assistance. I discovered that it was a plugin that was set to automatically switch the display from the opening. To remove the plugin, the view now is you like and does not switch on Now Playing view whenever I have to open the program.

• Windows Media Player seems to automatically organize my music filed manually.

  I have a set of music that I use for a class.  I had arranged it in a folder in my music and I put the album folders.  My problem is that whenever I use it, Windows Media player seems to take my music on records, which I had spent time organize and put it in a folder of artist, followed by an album folder.  I was wondering if I could get more information on the functioning of this feature and how to disable or even better, how to disable it for specific folders (which would be even more useful).

  I know that most music players are really interested in the Organization of file - they just put together all the music files in a list and sort by album, artist, etc..  I would like to be able to control the organization record since it does not matter to the program, but it is important for me.  I use usually just Windows Explorer to organize my music is a bit frustrating when WMP wants to take care of the Explorer for me! ;-)

  Maybe it was the wrong part of the forum to ask the question, I asked originally, but I found the solution in any case. Apparently, I just needed to go to the menu of options of Windows Media Player 12, go to the Library tab and uncheck the "Rename music files using rip music settings" and "Rearrange music in rip music folder, using rip music settings," which I believe have been enabled by default.

• How to stop windows media player from launching when I hit enter?

  I'm on Windows XP Home Edition

  Never had this problem before.
  Turned the computer on last night.
  Whenever I hit enter WMP starts.
  I rebooted, disconnected the keyboard, reconnected, etc..
  Help!

  Thanks for the reply.

  I answer so that if anyone else has this problem in the future this can also help.
  Method 1 - I do not have a shortcut for WMP on desktop, so it's s/o.
  Method 2 - I had actually downloaded an upgrade to Adobe Flash Player the previous night.
  So I uninstalled, restarted, but the problem was still there.
  Method 3 - (my method)-j' swapped the keyboard, rebooted and the problem is solved.
  Don't know why, no damage has been done to the keyboard, no spill, etc..
  I hope it was.
  Thanks again for the support.

• Windows media player added date changed after backup

  I did back ups before but this last time, dozens of songs were duplicated.   How can I solve this problem and prevent it from happening again?

  Hello

  ·         How are you trying to backup?

  I suggest to follow the steps below and then try to save:

  Method 1:

  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, try the following:

  a. click on the Windows "Start" and select "programs". Click on "Windows Media Player" to launch the media player.

  b. click on the "library" tab You should see a list of media files uploaded to the Windows Media Player library. Browse and search for files duplicate in the library. Duplicate files share the same name and usually appear side by side.

  c. right click on files duplicate you want to delete and click 'delete '. Repeat the steps to delete all of the duplicate in your Windows Media Library.

  For any consultation remove you items from the Windows Media Player library:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-items-from-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

  Method 2:

  If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

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

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Playerand then click OK.

  c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Transfer songs from itunes to Windows Media Player

  I just purhased a new phone (Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot) and want to transfer songs I already purhased on itunes on the phone - is that possible? I connected the memory card from my computer and windows media player is launched, I tried dragging songs from itunes to Windows media player but it doesn't seem to work - any ideas?

  Hello Dale120,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  What type of memory card that you use?  Are there measures with the memory card on the transfer of music files or on the Web site?  I tried to pull the top of your phone but do not have the specific model number.  I show that some phones using Bluetooth and USB memory cards.

  Are you able to insert the memory card and close Windows Media Player if it opens by default.  Then right-click on start and select "explore".   When the new tab opens, you will see a directory folder on the left side of the tab.  If you scroll down below your C drive you see the memory card?   You can drag a music file in your "Music" folder in the folder of the memory card?

  Yet once I would check with instructions or website http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/c510a?lc=en&cc=us for measures as well.  Please let us know.  Thank you!
