Media Player Switching Songs

So I used to use iTunes as my music player, but im trying out the media
player now. But i have found one thing that really pisses me off. When im
listening to my music via the library on random and when the song changes, it
does not follow the song. So lets say im listening to AC/DC at the top of my
list, then the next song that comes up is Pink Floyd. The plane will still
show the top of my list. The problem is lets say i want to listen to the song
below Pink Floyd, i have to scroll down and find that album, then click on
the new song. Is just me or does this really weird problem that Microsoft has
overlooked? iTunes never had this problem, im tempted to switch over because
this is really frustrating when your dealing with 4000+ songs.....

Re: Media Player Switching Songs


This is actually by design, it's trying not to lose your browsing context
during playback.

Random fact of the day. I like "track to where I am" too, but it turns out
more people get irate if you track than if you don't track. =\
