`
`Playing music and video on your computer will be better than ever with the new Microsoft
`Windows Media Player 7. The latest features of the Player will make it even easier to get the
`entertainment you want when you want it. You can still play audio and video files like you did
`with previous versions of Windows Media Player, but now you can do so much more. You’ll
`have more access to the Internet, more flexibility of files and formats, and you can even change
`the look and functionality of your Player. Here is a summary of the major new features in ver-
`sion 7:
`
`Media Library
`
`Windows Media Player now includes Media Library, which lets you create multiple
`playlists to organize all your audio and video files. You can also use it to search your
`computer or network drives for new audio and video to add to your collection.
`Media Guide
`
`299
`
`The Player opens up a window to the Internet with its new Media Guide, which provides
`daily entertainment news, free downloads, and live, streaming audio and video.
`CD Audio
`
`The Player’s new CD Audio feature lets you copy tracks from a CD and convert them to
`compressed Windows Media files, turning your computer into a giant jukebox. You can
`also make new CDs from music on your computer with just a few easy steps.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`‘
`Skins
`
`
`Windows Media Player‘s revolutionary new skin technology means that the user interface
`for the Player is now completely changeable. A skin is the Player’s new customizable user
`
`interface that can change not only how the Player looks, but how it operates. You can
`
`~
`._ create your own skin designs or choose from those available on the Internet or on this
`
`. book’s companion CD.
`
`
` _
`
`,. we to every imaginable style of music. Plus, the tuner lets you search for stations by
`c' egory.
`
`
`
`
`The Player will now entertain you with visual images that dance along with the music. This
`new. feature is called visualizations, and their animated lights, colors, and shapes move in
`time to the tone and rhythm.

`Part 1 of this book is the only section the end user will need. It includes installation procedures
`and instructidns for using Windows Media Player 7. It also covers the concepts of digital audio
`and Video multimedia, so you can gain a greater understanding of what the Player does and
`why.

`This book explains how to design and build skins. Creating art for skins is very similar to creat—
`ing art for Web pages. You don’t need to know how to draw or paint, but you do need to be able
`to use an art program such as Adobe Photoshop. The programming technologies used in skin
`creation are XML, which is similar to HTML, and Microsoft JScript, which is similar to Perl and
`other scripting languages.
`’
`Developer
`
`.
`If you want to use Windows Media Player to develop advanced applications, you’ll need expe—
`rience with Web programming technologies such as HTML, ActiveX , and JScript. In Part 3, you
`will find out how to make Web pages more interactive with Windows Media Player, and how to
`modify media files to include markers, URLs, and script commands. You will also learn how to
`create multimedia advertisements that can be packaged with audio and Video files to promote
`your Web site, music CD8, or other products. Finally, if you are a C++ programmer, you can
`learn how to create visualizations that you can use to enhance skins.
`.
`Howthis book IS organized
`This book is divided into three parts. The first part covers how to install and use the Player. Cre~
`ating skins is the focus of the second part. The third part covers advanced programming topic
`such as Web page programming, creating advertisements, and visualizations. In addition, this
`book has a companion CD that contains a copy of Windows Media Player 7, sample skins and
`Visualizations, the Windows Media 7 SDK, and more.

`ing the Player is provided. This chapter also includes detailed information on installing skins
`and visualizations.
`
`Chapter 2 explains all the major features and how to use the Player. It covers every option,
`menu item, and task available to the user. You’ll learn how to use the Media Guide to find new
`music and how the Media Library can keep track of all your music and video and organize it
`into playlists. You’ll learn how to access Internet radio stations using the Radio 'lhner, down-
`load music to your portable computer or music player using the Portable Device feature, and
`copy music from music CDs to your computer using the CD Audio feature.
`
`Chapter 3 discusses the file formats that the Player can use, as well as information on how to
`create your own CDs. You’ll learn more about encoding music and be introduced to the world
`of codecs. Digital rights are important to users of Internet music, and you’ll learn how the

`CHAPTER 1
`
`Getting Started
`
`This chapter will introduce you to the basic features of Microsoft Windows
`Media Player 7. Detailed explanations of all the installation procedures are
`also provided, including how to install two new types of enhancements to the
`Player, skins and visualizations. In later chapters, you’ll learn more about
`each feature, and how you can use them to customize the look and function-
`ality of the Player.
`
`What is Windows Media Player?
`
`One of the best places to learn about new music and videos is through the
`Internet. A world of entertainment and education is out there, and Windows
`Media Player can help you navigate the Web to find exactly what you want.
`Then you can use the-Player to download it, customize it, and play it on your
`computer or Pocket PC.

`
`You’re likely to have a CD-ROM drive in your computer. With it, Windows
`Media Player can play a music CD and let you choose your favorite songs.
`
`‘ThePlayer can also copy music from your CDs to your computer, so you can
`
`are. and play the music any way you want to.
`

`new CD, and listen to it on any standard CD player.
`
`Skin Chooser: provides custom user interfaces
`
`Windows Media Player can now be customized with visual elements called
`skins. A skin is a graphical user interface on your computer screen that re—
`places the original buttons, sliders, and windows of the Player with new an-
`work. The new Skin Chooser feature makes it possible for you to apply new
`skin artwork to your player. If you don’t like the way the Player looks, down-
`load a new look, or create your own skin that has a user interface that you
`like better.

`This dialog box welcomes you to the installation process and then recom—
`mends that you exit all other applications before continuing. You should
`., close any other applications that you don’t need to have running; otherwise
`’ the Player may not be able to complete the installation correctly. It is most
`important to close any other audio or video applications that are running. You
`can look at the task bar to see if anything is running that you might want to
`close. If. you have an application that should not be shut down, the Player
`can‘probably work around it. Windows Media Player is not easily confused,
`but'You don’t want to make it harder than necessary for the Player to detect
`e’lhardware and software on your computer.

`You will probably want to install all the components on your computer, un-
`less you are low on hard disk space. If you’re not sure about a particular
`component, click the text of each option and a paragraph will appear on the
`lower portion of the dialog box explaining what the option does. If an option

`
`This dialog box is in two parts. The first part asks which file extensions you
`want to have associated with Windows Media Player. The second will add
`links to make it easy for you to launch the Player yourself.

`Choosing file associations

`play all of these file types.
`
`The file association categories are:

`The Player already knows about .an files, but needs to know that it can
`automatically play .wma and .wmv files.
`
`MPEG Layer 3 files (.mp3, .m3u)
`Keep this box selected if you want Windows Media Player to be the
`default player for MP3 files. These are the MP3 files that are very popular
`on the Internet for audio.
`
`Other formats (.avi, .wav, .mpeg, .mpg, and more)
`Keep this box selected to cover the rest of the bases. .avi, .mpg, and
`.mpeg are video files and .wav files are Windows audio files. The other
`file types include MIDI, AIFF, .ivf, and ..au

`installed, go to the Tools menu and click Options; then click the Formats tab

`sed in greater detail in Chapter 3.

`drag them to the Recycle Bin.
