  content is of type WMP files.

• Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

  Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

  First of all, I apologize because clearly, nobody else here knows what you're feeling :)

  The problem is in fact a function: If you open a file (such as a video) directly, WMP opens directly to the ' Now Playing ' screen to display the video (the video can not be displayed in library mode where it lists all the files).  It is locked, you cannot change this behavior (because I'm sure you would agree, everyone would complain if they could not see a video playing every time they played, of course!)

  But what you can do, there's WMP to always be the size you want!

  (1) play a video in WMP.
  (2) while the video plays, click anywhere in the video and uncheck the option 'Fit Player to video'.

  WMP will attempt is no longer to adjust its size whenever a video is played.

• Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

  Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

  Thank you

  =====================================
  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.
