• Windows Media Player takes a long time to open and search

  Slow initialization of WMP 12, research and classification.

  IM under W7 Ultimate 64.
  When I start WMP12 it takes much more time to initialize that WMP11 on vista, 2 minutes before I can even start by selecting music.
  If I do a search it also picks up a similar amount of time and locks (graying out, slider timer). Once I have a bunch of songs loaded on the screen, say a playlist with 200 songs and then click a tab as a note it takes 30 seconds to REList per category during this time it hangs again.
  I have about 40,000 songs in my library. I have rebuilt the library and the database now resides on a second disc which did not make a difference.
       
  (1) what someone else with similar problems and found a solution?
  (2) is it possible to replace it with WMP11 which worked perfectly and was much more intuitive?
  (3) can anyone recommend a replacement player who has gapless playback and fast database access?

• Palm Treo Pro trouble: Windows media player passes each time the screen saver updated

  The treo Pro is an excellent application of low power consumption screensaver that displays date, time and info missed calls. However, the disappointment is that when you listen to music while in screen saver mode, windows media player ignores all the minutes when the clock on the screen saver updates / refreshes.

  Since the clock updates every minute, the player skips a beat with unerring accuracy.

  It's the solution to this problem. Please, do not respond to a 'solution' to disable the screen saver. I who have already tested and am aware of it. I don't want to disable the default screen saver.

  Agree. I discovered that letting Windows media player running on the screen prevents the screen saver from kicking in (which she does if the phone is on the screen today). The screen always shows the player running but will drive according to the configuration.

  With that, the problem is solved when I play music in a car, but it will be a pain when walking or jogging.

  So I guess the only solution is to disable the screen saver with a single operation... desire, I had an app for that!

• You want to transfer music from the computer's library to Windows Media Player. Don't know why some downloaded music goes to the library and other music goes to Media Player.

  To sort music between library computer and Media Player? How pay you the difference? I download music from Windows Media Player, but some files go to the library of the computer and do not show up in Media Player...?

  Hi Phoenixshadows1956,

  The music, videos and pictures libraries windows point to the files that store the files of real media on your computer. The Player library simply contains links to multimedia files, but gives you greater control of how you organize and use your digital media content than the Windows folders do.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Media-Player-library-frequently-asked-questions

  You question default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it copied, moved or stored in the library. Access the link below to learn more about customizing a library.

  You can use Windows Media Player Library to organize your entire digital media collection on your computer, including music, videos and photos. Access the link to learn more about how to manage and add items to the Windows Media Player library.

• Some programs do not recognize Windows Media Player on my computer error ' g windows media player is not installed or supported on my computer. "

  I have windows 7 home. I have 12.0.7601.181.50 windows Media Player. Some web sites do not recognize that it is installed on my computer. It does not show on the page add to the abduction as a program that is installed on my computer.  All attributes are turned on.

• Windows Media Player is lagging during the game and songs to jump.

  Just today, my Windows Media Player started acting odd. When I play a song, it will appear to freeze, but after 5 seconds or so, it starts to play. It's the same thing when to jump tracks. She also takes about 5-10 seconds to stop playback when I hit the break. When it does not freeze, he says 'Changing Media' in the lower left corner. This problem does not occur when I use a reading list, it is quite normal, it doesn't seem to be a problem when reading my library. I don't have any problems with other media players, such as iTunes or VLC player.

  I've been looking for a solution online and most of the people with a very similar problem to mine fixed by disabling audio enhancements, but this has not worked for me. This problem has just appeared from nowhere. The only recent change to my computer is a new keyboard, a Logitech G15. I've hung yesterday evening and was listening to music without any problem. But when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with this problem. I plugged my old keyboard, thinking that he could be the problem, but still no solution.
  I'm out of ideas. Any idea of what the solution may be? If this can help, my computer running an AMD Phenom II X processor 4 955 with 8 GB of RAM and my sound is crossing a Radeon 6850 through HDMI on my monitor.
  Thanks for any help.
  [EDIT]
  I just noticed that Windows Media Player stops is when I close. The window closes, but I can always see it used in the process, and I have to close it it so that it can turn off completely. Do not know what is causing that.

  Nevermind, I finally thought to it. The software for the keyboard activated something called "windows media player gadget for windows sideshow. This seems to be causing the lag. I went to the Windows Sideshow and disabled options program for my keyboard.

• WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... Missing codecs

  My windows media player use to play DVD & VCD but now missing the codec so can't watch these now. Download the codecs but them uninstalled as apparently do IE, Media Player etc unstable. Is anyone able to help with this please... Thanks :)

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that DVD is not playing in Windows media player, installed some codecs but these codecs were Internet Explorer unstable. Let us know if it's the misunderstanding of the question.

  A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.
