    Why is my windows media player so slow


    Howdy,I am trying to use WMP to organize the files on my mp3 player I use for working out. However, whenever I open the application it is super slow, laggy, and even when I only have local files it does not show my entire music library. I am just trying to create a playlist and it loads 5 of the 10 albums I have on my computer even though they all exist in the same folder on File Explorer. I don't know what I am missing or how to make my music files show up, or how to create a playlist without the entire application freezing. Thanks a bunch, I appreciate any tips.jojojojojojojojo

    :)

    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).
