'Ello,
I have a big problem with Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 RC that basically makes it unsable for music.
When I opened it up for the first time it had to index all my music files which makes sence and worked fine for a little while before I closed it then reopened it some time later and it had to reindex it all again, it's had to do it several times. Almost every time I close then reopen it and quite often it'll index it all once then go over and index it all again so I end up with two copies of each song listed.
I'm not sure if this is part of the problem but I download quite a lot of Podcasts through iTunes and when WMP12 does it's indexing it indexes all the podcasts as well which I don't want it to do but I understand why it does as they're in My Music folder and don't mind going around and deleting them from my library but I just thought I'd add it in as it might be helpful. Also all my music is stored on my D:\ drive, I'm running the Windows 7 RC x64 version that's avalible to the public on the Microsoft website and pretty much all my music collection is in mp3 format.
I really hope someone can help me with this as I like WMP as my main music player and at the moment am having to resort to using iTunes, which I think has a horrible interface and is slow, I just generally don't like iTunes I use it just for the podcasts normally.
Thank you in advance, El Barto.
