Windows 10: Release Year column doesn't appear in Windows Media Player

Hi, I am trying to set up Windows media player to appear the way wanted to. I have my columns in the following order: Title, Length, Contributing Artist and Date Added. I have right clicked in WMP and clicked on ''Choose Columns'". I ticked the boxes next to Genre and Release Year, and moved them so by default they should appear after contributing artist, but for some reason they aren't appearing. I tried unticking and reticking both of them, and I have tried closing and reopening wmp. I went to the help chat and did what the agent suggested, but that didn't work either. Please help.

:)

 

Windowa media player.

Hello Stephen,

Let me inform you that most CD's already have metadata about the song and artists but if it doesn't then we can edit the song information manually.

Follow the steps below:

• Double-click a song you would like to edit. Windows Media Player displays a table containing columns such as Length, Contributing Artist, Genre and Release Year.

• Right-click a value in a column you'd like to edit and click "Edit." For example, if you want to change the name of the album that contains the song, right-click the existing name in the Album column and click "Edit” to view a text box.
• Type a new value in the text box that appears after clicking a column’s value. Repeat this process for all columns you wish to update.

Hope it helps.

 

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
