Using Windows Media Player

Microsoft Windows Media Player is a center for playing and organizing multimedia on your computer and on the Internet.

The topics in this section explain how to use the Now Playing, Media Guide, CD Audio, Media Library, Radio Tuner, Portable Device, and Skin Chooser features on the task bar on the left side of Windows Media Player.

Windows Media Player includes function commands that are similar to the buttons found on VCRs and CD players. To access the commands, click the Play menu, and then click the command. You can also access the commands by using the buttons along the bottom edge of Windows Media Player. Drag the slider, which is just above the commands, to specify where you want the file to begin playing.
