Here's a quick Windows XP tip that relates to audio and Windows Media Player 9. One of the easiest ways to play an album of music with Windows Meida Player 9 is to right-click on the folder containing the album and select "Queue It Up" or "Play With Media Player". But what if you don't have that option on your right-click menu? It's missing because Windows XP doesn't recognize that folder as one containing music. Here's how to get it back!<br /><br />1) Right-click on the folder you want to update.<br />2) Select Properties<br />3) Click on the Customize tab<br />4) There's a drop-down menu for "Use this folder type as a template" - select "<i>Music Album (best for tracks from one album)</i>". You should see it as shown below:<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/foldertype-01.gif" /> <br /><br />5) Once you've made that select, click OK. After several seconds, right-click on the album folder again and you should see all of the correct options listed as shown below.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/foldertype-02.gif" /><br /><br />Enjoy your music!
