    Windows Media Player Legacy problem - playlists


    Hello! I have several "playlists" on my Windows media player legacy. Older playlists will not play anymore. Some are from 2016 - 2024. I now have Windows 11 on a new desktop computer as of Sept. 2024. Can this problem be fixed? Thanks!

    :)

  2. CAN PLAYLISTS ON WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER LEGACY BE PLAYED IN ORDER I WANT?

    Hello WILLIAM BOECKMAN,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    You can of course customize the order in which media files are played in Windows Media Player Legacy. Follow these steps to create and adjust the playlist order:

    1. Open Windows Media Player Legacy: Click the Start menu, then type "Windows Media Player Legacy" in the search bar, and open it.
    2. Add media files to playlist: Drag and drop the music or video file you want to add into the player window, or use the "Add to Library" button and select the file.
    3. Create Playlist: In the playlist pane, select "Create Playlist" and type the name you want.
    4. Adjust play order: Drag media files into the playlist and sort them in the order you want them to play. You can drag files anywhere in the playlist to adjust the order in which they are played.
    5. Play your playlist: Double-click the playlist name or right-click the playlist and select "Play" to play the media files in it in the order you adjusted.
    However, since you are already using Windows11, I recommend using the new version of Media Player, because Windows Media Player Legacy is old and some features may have been replaced by more advanced Media Player.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best regards,

  3. N900's Media Player playlist problems

    a bit of a random question, but with my n97, i can just create playlists on windows media player, and sync the playlist to the device to only copy a playlist of songs, and then that playlist will show up in the playlists in the media player on my n97.



    is it possible to do the same thing with the n900? or do i really have to follow the steps listed previously in this thread?

  4. Windows Media Player Legacy problem - playlists

    Windows Media Player Legacy

    Windows media player legacy will not save the playlist for some reason and on the new media player, they released you can't create or save a playlist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and am still having the same issue of not being able to save my playlist. How can I fix the windows media player legacy issue? Is Microsoft aware of the new media player issues?
