    My Music Library Issues with Vista Media Center

    I have a few issues I'd like to make note of for those of you who are helping
    with bug fixes...this is with my current install of Vista Build 5384, WMP11,
    and the Media Center with this Vista build. I want you to keep in mind my
    music library as of right now consists of 1,981 total albums, so its a big
    library.



    1. I have downloaded a few albums from Urge, and only the files I've
    actually played in WMP11 will play in Media Center, if I haven't played it
    yet, it trys to make me get a license for it, which doesn't work within Vista
    Media Center.

    2. Still in Vista Media Center, some of the album art shows up, some
    doesn't, its usually when I click into a particular album and then a song...I
    sometimes get black boxes on those two steps.

    3. WMP11 will download an album from Urge fine, but it won't bring down all
    the media information and album art, I have to manually update it for this to
    come down via the internet.

    4. How come when you are playing an album in Media Player, it doesn't show
    you which song is currently playing with a little graphic next to it like a
    bouncing line eq, like in the previous version?

    5. I tried to view a slide show in Media Center while it played background
    music and it brought the song down to a very slow RMP like an old 45' record.
    I guess I need more memory or something? My Performance Rating is a 3.

    Thats all for now!
    Thanks.

    RE: My Music Library Issues with Vista Media Center

    some thing like this
    -- I am having trouble getting any other music to play if it isn't coming
    hot off of the cd player or thru the media players own music. but can't get
    the player to accept any songs I have copyed to my hard-drive ,. drop and
    drag doesn't drag or drop. Am I missing something or is this player so
    properitary I can only play what it wants me to hear or buy.

    Jopa,

    What?!?!? Move your question to its own seperate thread, I'm asking the
    questions here and you have not answered them, if you have questions, make
    your own thread and quit using up mine!
