1119836 2010-07-18 06:19:00 Hi All.

Today I downloaded some Free MP3 Music from All About Jazz, as I have done before. I put them into my Music.
I then made a new folder & named it AAJ Jazz. I dragged & dropped each music file into this new folder.
However.

When I click on AAJ Jazz & get the drop down menu there is No "Play On Media Player" Line. I can open the folder & play each track seperately, but not the continuous folder as with other Folders. What is wrong? Thanks.

1119837 2010-07-18 07:30:00 What format are they in? Might be it doesn't know what default player to use.
Dragged and dropped - sure it hasn't made shortcuts rather than moving the actual files?

MP3. Each tune went into My Music. Then I made & named a new folder. Then dragged & dropped. Individual icons disappeared & appeared in new folder.Each one can be played individually but not the whole folder as in "Play with......". PJ

1119839 2010-07-19 00:08:00 Unless the MP3's have to be 'tagged" (e.g. ID3) so as the player can list/display. Some mp3 organizers/players for example categorize/display mp3's if they are tagged so as to create playlist often in the M3U format. I use mp3 tag (www.mp3tag.de) to create/edit tags based from their file names. You might get better mp3 track info (for tags) by using (i.e. connecting) to a online database for mp3's (e.g. freedb). I reviewed such tools (I think) in my mp3 blog in my sig (under mp3 tools and utilities articles) kahawai chaser (3545)

Made a work around.
Made another folder, which had "Play with..." on it. Moved the dodgy folder across. Now select "New" folder & Play with.. & ok. Thanks . PJ
