Re: WMP11 stops playing files that played fine in wmp10

Given that it's a beta, there is likely no solution until a later beta or the release version.

Is there any new information on this problem? Unfortunately I have been using winamp to play music as WMP11 is useless for at least half of my music collection.

That's very interesting. Could both of you open WMP's Help:About menu, then select "Technical Support Information", and then paste or other make available the HTML/list you get there? I'm curious if you have something loaded here that is stepping in the way of WMP working properly. =\

Thanks,

Yes both my machines have the same software configuration but the hardware is
different. The home Dell Inspiron 8200 is over 3 years old but dxdiag gave no
errors. The office Optiplex GX280 is less than a year old. Some more
information -

In 2004 I converted my entire media library using the Plus! audio converter
to WMA to save space. Those files play fine. The problem occurs with the
files that I have converted in the last one year using the Plus! audio
converter after Plus! was updated. The 8mbps bitrate is a result of that
conversion. The older files were all constant bit rate. The newer conversion
was from fixed mp3 to WMA variable bit rate. I do that because I have come to
realize through experience that VBR is just a more optimal way to encode your
music. The files that I ripped directly from a CD using WMA VBR also play
fine. And yes I tried uninstalling WMP11 and IE7 from my Optiplex and then
reinstalled WMP11 to get the same result. So it happens with IE6 also. I
think there is something special in the file format itself.

Thanks for following up on this problem for so long.

Hm - I tried this again (see sig) on my home computer and it again worked
fine.

Do both machines have IE7... ? I would be curious if this happens for
anybody *not* running IE7... I wouldn't think IE would interfere here, but
that's the chief difference right now between my machine and yours.

How old is your Dell? Dell shipped various buggy sound card drivers at one
point, so you may want to check your sound card manufacturer from an
update - that fixed my Dell last year after I bought it. =\

Does dxdiag.exe report any errors... ?
