Windows Media Player crossfader
Hi. Does anybody know how to get to and configure the WMP crossfader? I looked on line and there were instructions for WMP 11 and WMP 12 (I don't know what version I have nor how to find out). Unfortunately I couldn't find the "Enhanced" portion in any of the menus in Options. Unfortunately the instructions gave instructions using the mouse and described the screen which is of little use to me. Any help welcome and appreciated.

RE: Urgent Help needed to uninstall Windows Media Player
John, This is an incomplete answer, but two pointers: WMP shows up in the "Program files X86" folder, which on my system is in the root of the C drive. This may be why you didn't realize WMP was already there, as it probably was. So, if you have Windows 7, go to Computer, then hard drive, then this folder. Second, WMP has obviously hijacked your file associations. Again, assuming (big assumption) you have Win7, open Windows search and type "file association," without the quotations. When it shows up, press enter and tab through the choices. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of john riehl Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2015 10:26 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Urgent Help needed to uninstall Windows Media Player Hi, everyone.

question about Windows media Player
Hello, I use Windows Media Player 12 on a Win 7 Home Premium machine; in a playlist, is there a way for my screen reader (I use System Access) to announce each track, for example chapters in a series of Bible stories I have in a playlist? Thanks. Peter
editing playlist Windows Media Player 12
Hello list. Please give me some tips on editing a playlist in Windows Media Player 12; I use Windows 7 and my screen reader is System Access. Here's the deal: I made the playlist of an album I've got on the hard drive; yet a piece from somewhere else in the computer got on the list along with the album; what I need to do is take that extra piece of music off the playlist so that only the album I put in the playlist will play; yet in the primary list view in the Library, it shows only the names of the songs on the album which is in the playlist; that extra music doesn't show up in the list view; what's the best accessible way to take that extra item out of the playlist? Thanks for any help or tips you can give me on this. Peter Russillo

Oh heaven forbid people should use another player!

RE: Using windows media player.
I just go into the folder in which the files are, select them out of the order in which you'd think you should then hit enter. Bamm it plays in the right order. I do this with movie audio I extracted with DVD Estractor.So for an example of what I mean about going in the order that you wouldn't expect, I'll use Godzilla 2014. So for the first time he shows up, you need chapters 6 and 7. But you have to select 7 then 6. Then whin you hit enter, it will play them in the right order. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Carliss Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 4:11 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Using windows media player.

Window-Eyes 9 Beta 1 And Windows Media Player
Early dyas yet of course but GW Micro have vastly improved the accessibility of Windows Media Player with Window-Eyes 9 Beta 1 it seems. I was able to get around WMP reasonably well but now its even better, guess we can only forward on encouraging or other feedback to GW Micro in order that we get a better product.
Re: Window-Eyes 9 Beta 1 And Windows Media Player
Yeah, Window-Eyes 9.0 Beta 1 is pretty good, almost stable in fact, of course there are bugs like the inability to delete messages in Thunderbird which is Window-Eyes specific because I can do this with Nvda, however this is one of the best betas I have used and that says a whole lot about beta software.

RE: Need help with Windows Media Player
Perhaps eMusic changed your file association defaults. I know iTunes loves to do that. If so, you need to associate the .mp3 file type back to WMP. Go to the start menu search field. Type file association. Even before you finish, this item will appear. Press enter on it. Wait several moments for all the fields to come up. After that you tab around for two fields. One is a button for the program type. Once pressed, you're presented with a list of programs. With any luck, WMP will appear in this list. If not, I believe Other is an option that will bring up more programs on your system. Then you tab to the long list of file types. Here, type very quickly .mp3 to get you close to the .mp3 listing. Going by memory, you now tab to OK. Perhaps there's an apply button to press first. I hope this gives you enough information to restore your preferred .mp3 file association. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Samco Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 5:31 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Need help with Windows Media Player Windows Media Player has been my default player for a long time on my Windows 7 laptop.

Morey, yes, I had found WMP in program files, but I hadn't thought of your suggestion for how to create a shortcut. I notice three or four .exe files in the list, and I'm not inclined to experiment with determining which is the one I need. Maybe I'll change my mind about that. Thanks so much. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Morey Worthington Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 11:59 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: Windows Media Player Just curious about this problem. Have you checked in the Program files to see if Windows Media Player is in there? If so, open the file and find the .exe file, press the applications key, down arrow to make shortcut,click on that and it should put it on desktop. Then click on that shortcut and see what happens.

RE: Windows Media Player
I'd overlooked that possibility, and you're right, WMP is in the X86 list. However, when I click on it, rather than bring up the program, it takes me to the files list under program files.

Re: Question: Rewinding in Windows Media Player?
Hi Alexandra, In Windows vista and later you can do the following - not sure about xp. Tab to the seek slider. Pressing LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW moves the playback backward or forward by one twentieth of the length of the track. If you add SHIFT or CTRL to these keystrokes, then the distance moved becomes one four hundredth or a fifth of the length of the track respectively. If you're using vista, then you can get to the seek slider quicker by pressing ctrl+tab one or more times. David. original message: Hi List, I hope someone can help me.

RE: Question: Rewinding in Windows Media Player?
I do not believe that rewind and fast forward work on all file types. In particular, I am not sure they work on MP3 files, for example, or at least not on all bit- rates. However, it is possible that CONTROL-SHIFT-B is used by your screen reader. For example. Window-Eyes uses it to toggle between restrictions on the mouse pointer keys. You can get past that by using the key that bypasses controls first. In case of Window-Eyes, pressing INSERT-B first will cause CONTROL-SHIFT-B to be passed through to Windows Media Player.

RE: Question: Rewinding in Windows Media Player?
Alexandra, You are probably partly right but it is more complicated. I think that rewinde works all right on WMA and WAV files for example, and I think it works on some MP3's. Also, I have heard that WinAmp does better with this than Windows Media Player on MP3 files. Therefore, it might be the player to some extent but it is also the file type as some files will rewind fine in Windows Media Player. While it is probably true that some players handle this better than Windows Media Player, there are a number of variables in MP3 files that can make a difference in other cases. I've had MP3 files, for example that will play on my BookSense but not on a BrailleNote. If you have determined that the problem is not your bypass key, then there is nothing else you can do, but you might find that rewinding does work sometimes. Also, the seq slider does seem to generally work, and who knows, maybe this is something that will get fixed at some point by Microsoft, or maybe there is some other setting that causes this that someone else here is aware of.

Re: Question: Rewinding in Windows Media Player?
Hey Alexandra well first ctrl shift f stands for fast, not particularly fast forward. The way you can fast forward is to tab to the seak option and then right and left arrow, for pretty large movements. My Recommendation is to switch to a more blind friendly music player. There are quite allot, and personally I have 2 favorits ah maybe 3. :-) 1. VLC player which originally is a video player you also can use for music playing and all other kind of standard media files. 2. MaPler which I can't recommend buying any more as even how good it is they are not doing much updating on it. 3. Good old Winamp. All these can do fast tracking both forward and backwards with no problems what so ever.

If your Squeezebox Radio is not powered by a battery pack and is AC powered from the adapter then turn off the power and disconnect the Squeezebox Radio for about half an hour and then reconnect. Note that when the Squeezebox Radio is running on AC power by default the unit will remain on all the time, when the Radios is running on battery power the unit will turn off if its not being used.

burn data cd windows media player
I have all of my music on the computer now and use winamp to listen to it. I burned a cd that is data cd all mp3 files for the car using windows media player before and I can't seem to figure out how to do it again. Maybe it is because I am using winamp and the programs conflict. The reason I want to use media player to burn is because it has volume leveling across all tracks whereas winamp does not. Maybe there is a better way to burn cds? I have never liked windows media player finding everything difficult. I need some counseling. Been trying to figure it out for hours.

setting Windows Media Player as the default player
Hello everyone, I just upgraded from Itunes 10 to Itunes 11. However, I've found that now by default, whenever I play an mp3 file, Windows chooses Itunes as the default player automatically, and I don't want that. How do I change things so that Windows Media Player is the default player? I know that there's an option within the start menu that says, set program access and defaults), but I don't remember the steps to adjust the default player. How do I do that? I'm running Windows xp Home Edition. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

RE: windows media player or media center
They both work quite well. Now, if you are going to play a DVD with either of them, you must use Narrator and shut JAWS off. This is because since JAWS is using a mirror driver, it'll think you want to steal the content to put it directly. So you must use //Narrator for DVD play back. That works well though. Trust me, I've done it. Remember that with WMC you can turn your PC into a TV. The set up I here you need sighted help for, but once that's all done and over with, you can use it just fine. Note, you can do most of the basic setup, the monitor, the speakers and stuff like that. I here it's the signal set up that's hard. Oh yeah, setting up the times for it to down load updates is kind of hard too. You can set up the internet signal, but you aren't sure what you're doing. I just let it do what ever it wishes. I love Windows Media Centere. I wnt to put a TV tooner In my next PC and use it as a TV. But yeah, both WMC and WMP both work with JAWS. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Arthur Barney Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2013 7:52 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: windows media player or media center Hi Steve, can't help you any more.

keystroke for JAWS14 to say the song name and artist of a song in a song list playing in windows Media Player 12
Hello Win7,wMP12, JAWS14 I'm playing a long song list by right clicking a folder on my PC hard drive full of many mp3 songs by selecting 'play in WMP' from the context menu. In WMP12 while the song list is played, I'm in the library view, if it matters here. I just can't seem to figure out how to let JAWS announce the current song that is playing. Insert (jaws key) plus T nor insert plus pg down don't say that at all. So how can I quickly have jaws announce the current song playing preferably a key stroke combo?

RE: Windows Media Player.
Did you play a CD before this and just alt F4 out of it? If so, next time you play a CD, don't close WMP, but rather play an audio file be it an MP3 or what ever, and then you can close it and it will be fine. I've personally had enough of WMP 12 doing this. WMP 13 had better behave it self or else. WMP 11 didn't do this, I really don't get it. You must always remember this for each time you play a CD.

Re: windows media player problems
I also had a problem with Media Player 12 last Christmas when I tried to play a movie that apparently had some type of copy protection. I got a message from Media Player that said something to the effect that it could not apply the protection to the output device and suggested that I update my video driver. I switched from JFW to the NVDA screen reader, and the movie played. I think the mirror driver used by JAWS for Windows 13 was interfering with Media Player 12.

Re: windows media player problems
I know that NVDA doesn't use a mirror driver, and that's why I decided to try it with the movie. I thought that Media Player would be happier with that configuration. I do intend to try some other DVD players with that particular movie and JAWS 13 since I want to use the OCR feature on the menu titles. Maybe other players won't complain about the copy protection.

Need help resolving this Windows Media Player 12 problem on my new win7 laptop
Hello gang. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this WMp12 problem on my Win7 laptop? I recently bought a new Win7 laptop with Windows Media Player 12 preinstalled. I'm able to play mp3 files on the laptop SSD just fine using WMP12. About 10% of the time though, when doing this, Stops playing in the first second or so with an error. My main problem is when trying to stream audio files using WMP12 from a radio show website where they upload the show archives. These online audio archives work fine on another win7 desktop at home so the website archives are fine. However every single time I attempt to play that archived audio using WMP12 on my laptop I immediately get an error msg within WMP and it's as follows: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: wmplayer.exe Application Version: 12.0.7601.17514 Application Timestamp:4ce7a485 Fault Module Name:KERNELBASE.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.17651 Fault Module Timestamp: 4e211319 Exception Code: c06d007f Exception Offset: b9bc OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288clcid=0x0409 If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt Prateek To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: Windows Media Player 11
This is very strange. I've ripped things in WAV, and it works just fine. It's probably because of how it didn't complete the rip. I've seen this happen with DVD Audio Ex Tractor when you extract a DVD that's a bit damaged and it does kind of extract the chapter I guess. But not really. It sounds like that's kind of what happened here but it's hard to say why since you said that the CD is fine, and it worked when you did it in WMA lausless. But yeah, I prefer PCM WAV my self. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:58 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Windows Media Player 11 Hi. WMP11 has six format settings for ripping CDs. I chose WAV (Lossless). WMP took a long time to go through the ripping process, and in fact never completed it, although all the tracks from the CD showed up in the designated folder. When I attempted to play these tracks, MS responded with a message to the effect that the player can't play either this CD or this format. However, when I put the same CD in just to play, not rip, WMP went right ahead. I changed the format to Windows Media Audio Lossless, and the player smoothly ripped the files to the folder. When it was done, I could play the tracks from that folder. There is nothing wrong with this CD. If I just play it, WMP operates fine. WMP can also rip and play its contents, albeit with my second choice of format.

Windows Media Player and Winamp
Hi listers. I've just got a new Windows XP Home laptop and am trying to get an accessible copy of Windows Media Player, but I don't seem to be able to get anything below Version 9. I've been advised that I won't be able to use this because you can't tab round to options like Rip, Burn and Library once you've started playing a file. Can anybody please tell me where I can either get an earlier copy of WMP (all of the ones which I've tried to download seem to automatically update to Version 11) or point me towards instructions for using Version 9 with JFW 10.0? If neither of these is possible or suitable, I'd also be grateful for advice on finding tutorials (and scripts if necessary) for using versions of Winamp - also with JFW 10.0. Many thanks in advance, Danny To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Playing audio-described pal dvd with jaws 12 and windows media player
Hey, all! Does anyone know how to get to the submenu in media player that lets you choose audio description? My sighted husband can find that choice using our hewlit-packard dvd player, but so far we can't figure out how to find that special feature menu in windows media player with jaws. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Kathy p.s. sorry if this is a re-post. Something really funky is going on with Outlook, so I'm not always sure what gets sent and what doesn't. Sigh.
