Bug in WMP 11

April 28th, 2010 - 10:10 am ET by NumbLock | Report spam
Hello all. Just wanted to report a "Hidden Feature" in WMP 11. When you
have the player on shuffle and you bring up an artist or otherwise use the
search box and play a song that appears in the results, the shuffled songs
only come from that search result even when you clear the filter to display
all records.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world... Those who understand
binary and those who do not.

That's not a bug, it's how WMP is designed. When you play a song by
double-clicking it in the main Library (center) pane, WMP adds all
currently displayed songs to a (Now Playing) playlist, and starts
playing that playlist. When the contents of the Library pane is changed
(such as by clearing the filter or navigating), the Now Playing playlist
isn't changed.

When you click the Now Playing button at the top, you should be able to
see the Now Playing playlist on the right. If not, click the little
arrow right below the Now Playing button, and select Show List Pane.
