First of all, I would like to apologize to anyone I might have offended with my most recent post. I was pretty cranky by the time I came in here looking for answers as to why things weren't co-operating on MCv9.0
Now, although I seem to have overcome the problem I was having, I still don't know how I fixed it, and I have encountered a couple of new stumpers:
1) After first re-installing MC, I cannot seem to get the player off of whatever mode causes it to repeat the same track when left to play on its own. Even clicking the double arrows buttons (next/previous track) don't work... the only thing that helps is to click on the track I wanna hear next - quite the nuisance if I am doing something else, either at or away from the computer. There seems to be no setting for this. I have somehow managed to get it the way I want, where it will play all tracks in the playlist consecutively on its own, and the next/prev track buttons work the way they should.
How and where do I set the configurations to get out of (or even return to) this "Repeat 1/All" mode, so I will know for next time? What should the settings say?
2) I had a Windows Media File which I wanted to convert to MP3, but it was refusing to do it for me, simply saying it could not be done, but not saying why. I tried changing the destination of the new file, but no luck. I eventually just had to give up - fortunately, I found another copy of the same file already in MP3 format. Do I need to get some plug-ins or something? How do I get this and all other features to work? (I just know there will be another hiccup with something else somewhere at some point)
Well, I guess that's really all for now...
Thanks to anyone who can fill in these blanks for me
