I love the new WMP, it took some getting used to, but only because it had newer (more functional) features. It's learned new tricks, which has lead me to have to as well. But, everything can be done out of the new media library, it's great.

Unfortunately I'm having some problems with my hardware, which lead me to reinstall (trying to troubleshoot, I guess) windows but now I can't download SP2 without my comp crashing, so I'll have to wait to use WMP11 again.

Well here they are (sorry if I make a bad transduction, the software is in Spanish):
1. When I put the option: Take the Year the Album was recorded and use the criteria to order the Albums, the Abums are ordered from the newest to the oldest Confused Why not the other way?
2. When I stop listening an Album and close the Windows Media, the next time I don't have any reference on which track I was hearing, and the older version even showed you the track selected
3. When I make some changes in the way I want the order of my Albums to be showed, the software doesn't save it and I have to do it every time when I open it

Well,this are the problems that bother me right now ( I'm sure I will find more), so I hope you got the Idea, and could help me in this "huge" (Embarrassed) problem I have...

PS : Feel free to discuss any Windows Media 11 related issue!

What is that all about?

I always use album cover visualisation.

Regarding the ordering of albums I am sure there is a button you can click that will reverse the sorting order..yes, I checked, click on "release year" and the albums re-arrange.
