Wmp 11 in Windows XP

[fpd]

Its horribly slow here - but that might just be due to wmp tag extender. If only wmp came with native flac, vorbis and apev2 support

edit: it is fine now - I decided to only keep flac support and not apev2 tags

If you want urge you need to set your regional settings all to US (Location, Language, Currency and Internet Options languages). After you did that restart your pc, open WMP, and click the arrow below the "online services" tab and click "Browse all online stores" and select URGE.

If you have URGE just click "Log in" (upper right corner of WMP) and register (for non-US people: use a random zip like 10012), select the pay by song plan, and skip the credit card data. Go to library, click urge (left pane) and search for a song. Loads of music video's!!!

You can't play video's in full screen with the standard butten, just press F11 and it will work!

well i got the 14 days trial.. is amazing!! the thing is that im not used to the fact that subscription service is.. like when you cancel your subscription all the music you download wont play !!!i dont like that.. thats why i wont subscribe.. i think...

My copy its <ORIGINAL> :(

I had that happen before. Go to Windows update and validate, then you should be okay :)

[thankins]

anyone know how to make it organize your music folder? Also how do i drag album art on the album art on it? Is there any easy way to download all the album art at one time?

Also has anyone gotten this to work with their ipod? It sees my iPod but i can't figure out how to make it sync all my songs, and not just the playlist i have

I bit the bullet and installed it. It's awesome! :D I just had to do a little work on my Library with album art and organization, took some time but looks good.

I love it more then WMP10, looks cooler and opens faster on my 1.67ghz Hp :p

Im loving the new look myself, it makes XP look alot nicer.

[McSmiggins]

Love it, if Vista is actually this good, it's gonna be awesome.

But I've got 2 minor problems, both with the same thing:-

1. Where the hell is the playlist on full screen mode?

2. Where's the option to disable the video resizing on full screen mode? TweakMP was the best thing in the world, and now it doesn't work!

[willdev]

This sounds really dumb but i cant find the videos :(

Anyone give me a pointer on where they are?

^ go into library and click the button below the back button in order to select your media type.

[hulkachopblocker]

You can add media folders by dragging and dropping them right into the media player. Thats cool.

Microsoft has gone goth.

:laugh: Sorry, couldn't resist.

o.O That would be amazing if it did!

Too bad. WMP11 doesn't support AAC. The screenshot must be fake.

WMP11 still misreads id3tags. I wonder why the same album is listed FOUR times in the Library. These files are perfectly id3tag edited in iTunes.

Cool, everything is so seamless, URGE is nicely integrated into the interface. Anyone know if its iPod compatible? Only thing it needs now is RSS support.

When I plug my iPod in, it recognises it as an iPod, and shows in in the sync section. I'm not sure if it just copies the music on to the iPod as data or weather it acctually adds the files to the iPod database.

Its recognises the device for me too but unfortunately it syncs the files to "#:\music" so the iPod won't pick up on the files as they are not in the correct folder and are not organised and named in such a way which the iPod will recognise. Just need to hope that the WMP will include iPod support or else we'll need a plug-in, I own an iPod but i'm forced to use itunes which I don't like.

[spenser.d]

Anyone else have a problem where it won't connect to the internet at all. The Work Offline option isn't checked, and the box that says to connect is checked, but it still won't. It's also allowed under Windows OneCare Live, so I'm not sure what's blocking it.

Any thoughts?

Someone will probably need to write a plug-in as I think I read somewhere MS decided against putting iPod support in.

Right Click the taskbar----Toolbars---Windows Media Player

When you minimize the player it "should" have the player thing on the taskbar

If thats the case im getting rid of my iPod. I like my iPod but i hate being forced to use iTunes.

Is this what you mean?

If so unzip the file named 'mpxptray' and drop it into X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Note X is your windows drive letter.

mpxptray.zip

Woah, no need for such drastic measures! You can just download a free third party application to handle your iPod such as Ephpod, YamiPod, vPod, or pay program like Anapod or Xplay.
