I tried moving the files from the RM Programs file over to the WMP library, but the move function is in My Music, and My Music doesn't recognize many of the tracks in the WMP library. Even when it does, sometimes the tracks get "moved" to cyberspace somewhere, never to be seen (or heard) again. Guess I have to keep all of my RM folders around forever, if I want them to remain in the WMP library.
I still haven't figured out how to strip off the dead air at the end of a music track downloaded from eMusic. I also haven't figured out how to burn a CD with all of the same tracks at the same volume. |
I've never experienced problems like that... because I've never liked Windows Media Player (as well Internet Explorer, Windows Media Center,...).
I prefer to play music with Winamp or Aimp. I don't really allows any players to organize my music and it makes my life easier - no matter what OS I use and what player I use, I know it which folder I can find what music tracks. It was much easier for me to switch from Windows to Linux because of that.
Winamp and Aimp are much faster than WMP. Winamp can even tag your songs automatically. So my suggestion is to try an alternative player.
And I never burn any music to an Audio CD with WMP as well, since there are lots of nice free programs that can do it.
