Playing songs through Windows Explorer
« on: September 19, 2003, 07:53:07 am »
Lately, when I select files in explorer and right-click -> MC -> Play, they are no longer replacing Playing Now, but added instead. Sometimes, I haven't figured it out yet, MC doesn't start playing neither, just gets focus.

Is this how it should be or is it a bug?

I second this.  It seems to have been broken for a while.  I don't do this very often, nor do I guess do most people, which is probably why it has not been so widely reported as other bugs.

  • Absence of alternatives clears the mind nicely.

I see this problem as well. I actually use this feature often. I didn't mention it because little problems like this usually get fixed by the time I've finished typing my message.  :)

I've been reporting this since the early 9.1 builds.  In addition to the above,  if you right click on 2 or more files and select 'Play in Media Center' nothing happens, including adding the songs to playing now.

ditto all that here too.

Like NoCodeUK, I don't use it very often either, but see those times I do go to use it, and it don't work, it's frustrating.

Would be nice to see that fixed.

I use it quite often and have reported it in the last several bug threads (maybe not the latest but I will do).

When I copy new files on to my hard drive that need importing and tagging I 'play' the files from windows explorer and then tag them while in playing now.  Due to the current bug I clear playing now before doing this.

As this falls into the category of reproducable bug I expect they'll fix it pretty soon.
