Windows Media Player-random mode

Windows media player

I like to listen to my media player in shuffle mode, but he often plays a lot of the same songs. many songs have not yet been picked yet. Is there a setting so it takes songs completely random?

As far as I know, shuffle mode * is * completely random, but if you do have a lot of songs, it will indeed come quickly the same songs.

If you want to exclude the songs that were recently played, then you must create an AutoPlaylist, with affection as the last played Date is before 30 days and mix this auto playlist instead.

By default, this playlist does not include songs that have not yet been played. To do this, you must first CONDITION with play count: Total overall is 0 , as in the example playlist at http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/screenshot/Playlist1.jpg .

For more info on the auto playlists, see Using WMP.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player Audio sync DivX playback in full screen

    Hello

    I have found lately that when playing videos on Windows Media Player divx mode full screen audio is out of sync.  If the video is played in window mode, there is no problem.  I had no such problem in the past, but now for about 1 month or so, I have this problem.

    I have fitted iq508a to vista 64-bit, with the latest drivers delivered HP installed (using the HP update utility)-does anyone else have this same problem too?

    Thanks in advance

    I can't believe! I solved the problem with this problem of video audio sync during playback in full screen!

    While watching the Pineapple Express, I thought WTF I'll take another closer look at this, and while they were smashimg their cell phones so that they could not be found by triangulation, (don't ask - u just I have to watch - stoner movie )...

    in any case, I looked under tools options in WMP.  I unchecked the option on the performance tab "use video smoothing"-the video as reloaded and bingo! everything in harmony!

    BTW, I checked my another PC running Vista 32 bit and the option ' use video smoothing ' also exists and it is checked if this seems to be a problem with WMP works on Vista 64 bit or running desktop Touchsmart of WMP... In case I am much happier now...

  • My Windows Media Player 11 jumps randomly a song.

    My Windows Media Player 11 follow no list in order. It jumps randomly a song. Redownloading didn't work, and "Fix It" recognizes no problem.

    Hello

    1 have. what fixit you tried?

    2. this problem can occur because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

    Method 1:

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

    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the 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.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Method 2:

    Turn off shuffle option that changes random songs.

    Ask the OP to press CTRL + H key on the keyboard after the opening of Windows Media Player and check if that helps resolve the issue.

  • Sansa e260 not recognized by Windows Media Player in MSC mode

    Hello

    I have a problem. When I connect my Sansa e260 in my PC, Windows Media Player 12 will not recognize it. I can still see it in the computer, including the Micro SD card. When it's in MTP mode I can see it in WMP, but I don't see that micro SD. thing is I want to download some new songs on the Micro SD card that I can't see. I don't know if I can download songs on the player itself, because I don't have any space left there and I dare not remove anything where I won't be able to download stuff on him. I'm running on Windows 7. This problem occurred during the night. I change not all components, nor that I have installed all new programs. I also tried different USB ports, firmware reinstallation, trying even Rockbox.

    That's about all. Any idea is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Set mode MSC, where the map stands as a separate disk. (MTP mode is for control via WMPlayer or Media Monkey).

    Albums of drag - move around the map.

  • 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 rating system / random play

    I'm having a problem with my Windows media player and its rating system. After so much time to listen to all my music on random, he started playing some songs more frequently (based on evaluations of random playback) than others. (E.g. you have 100 songs in your music folder. You play all, but randomly. After a day or two of that, along with some songs will be raised by default 3 stars, while that others who have not been chosen at random so far not.) The random function is very fond of top rated music.  I want to know how to disable the rating system. Is there any other option than to go through my entire music collection and give a rating of 5 stars?

    Unfortunately, I don't think that it is possible to disable the function of automatic scoring of WMP.

    You can, however, create an auto playlist that excludes most recently played songs, by adding a condition to Date played last is previous to the x . Then, you can play this auto playlist instead of all music. For more information, search help WMP AutoPlaylist .

  • Windows Media Player in vista has stopped playing my video files (.) MOD extensions)

    My Windows media player recently stopped playing my video files that have a. Extension of MOD, although the audio is not yet once the video is crushed. When the video freezes a computer bubble lets me know that the driver igfx has stopped working and then recovered.

    I spent many hours trying to solve this problem. My graphics card is an Intell chipset and it is up to date with his driver (I checked), the motherboard is an ASUS and this is far too - I checked. I ran an auto fix and that disabled four codecs, but the problem persists. I have run the sfc / scan now processes at the prompt as an administrator and it came clear.

    The problem is driving me crazy! can anyone help? When I play the video on another computer that works under XP, I have no problem.

  • Windows Media Player 11 for Vista problem with skin mode

    My Windows Media Player for Vista (premium) works well for more than a year.  The other day, for the first time, I chose to start it in appearance (small) mode.  The hourglass appeared, then she flashed "not responding".  When I searched for help, help app has just ended.  When I asked for more details, the message says "a problem caused this program blocking interact with Windows.  Problem event name is AppHangB1; version of the app is 11.0.6002.18065; Hang sign is e710; Blocking type is '0 '. timestamp of the application is 4a5dce03.

    I went into Control Panel to try to fix, but Media Player is not displayed as an installed program.

    I tried to download and reinstall, but it says that my version is more recent than the downloadable version.

    I tried to remove the program .exe file and I was told that I needed permission (even though I am the administrator).

    I ran the cmd scan, but he said that some errors could not be fixed.

    I tried to run regedit, but my computer says there is an error and could not work.

    So I can't open, remove, repair or replace the Windows Media Player 11.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I saw another thread that has suggested to delete three registry entries.  That did not work, but because WMP didn't work, I felt "BOLD".  I've therefore deleted everything in the registry, including 'by default'.  And guess what?  It worked!  He put back me in full mode, I'll leave the skin only mode.

    Thanks again.

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    In addition to the response of aziz, you can use your favorite search engine to search for a program that converts the mod file to a file type that supports Windows Media Player.

    In addition, you can view the below link provided by the manufacturer of the device that includes additional information to play the video files on your PC.
