Windows 10: Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 10 Home

Have an irksome little issue that I'm wondering about concerning Media Player. I was doing some housekeeping of music files in my Media Player library, downloaded songs and some tracks that I'd slapped together myself, entering song details etc., and in the middle of doing this, MP stopped allowing me to add pictures to the "album art" thumbnail in the songs' entry in the MP library. Usually, you can right-click on the thumb for the track/album which is blank if it's a custom track and will have the option to "paste album art" listed among others. Well, that option just disappeared, even if I'd already copied a pic I wanted to use and had it waiting on deck in the clipboard, no joy. As I said, I was in the middle of updating tracks' info and had already done this very thing for a couple of songs. I didn't change any settings for MP - I don't know what happened. Any theories?

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).
