Hi I have managed to get my Zensonics z500 media player to show me the media folders on my windows 7 machine, in the video library, but the files have no contents. If the original file on the PC had an AVI movie that file showing on the z500 is empty. It originally worked fine in the old XP pc...

So, I'm thinking, if Microsoft has the zune media player software, why are they still working on Windows Media Player? Zune is a direct competitor, and has a better UI compared to WMP. It also is compatible with formats people use right out of the box, like .mp4 and .m4a files, as well as...

Hi all, I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista Premium. Every time I play an mp3 via Windows Media Player, it skips for a few seconds towards the end of the song. Every single time. Every single mp3 file I have on my computer. I did not have this problem with Windows XP. Any ideas?
