Here is one of my web log entries, perhaps from my Yakkity Yak page, What's New page, or one of my Astounding Adventures from my Geocaching section: Windows Media Player vs. iTunes - iTunes Still for Me

On my PC at home, I've been running Windows 7 now since it was released—actually even before that I was running the public beta version. For my music library, before Windows 7 I always used iTunes to manage my tracks. With Windows 7, I wanted to give Windows Media Player (WMP) a try.
Here's the big thing standing in the way of my adopting WMP's music library over iTunes: I can't figure out how to convince WMP to scroll my library view window pane down to the currently playing track. In iTunes, if the currently playing track is NOT in view, a quick click on Pause then Play and BAM!--the track I'm playing is now in view. It's kind of crazy how little tiny things like this one gets used to prevent one from adopting different software. Google searches don't turn up any answers. Yes, the far left play-list pane DOES in fact show the currently playing track, but I want to see it in the main (big) music library pane (at least when I've clicked on the music library that in fact contains the playing track and I don't have any active searches that would exclude the track). All it would take is some small button in the playback control section at the bottom of the window that upon hovering over it said something like "Show currently playing track in the library." *sigh* If anyone knows some simple keystroke, menu item, or button that in fact accomplishes this, please let me know! | |
