Power CD+G Filter and Windows Media Player 10 Play Lists

[Del]

I just installed the filter and can play CD+G files with WMP 10 by double-clicking the file from its source directory. I cannot add CD+G files to playlists. WMP does not recognize the file type. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you able to open the file using Open from File menu?

[Del]

Yes, this will play the CDG file, however I am still would like to use playlists. Thanks.

I will check this issue today -- Windows Media Player 9 works properly.

I have installed WMPlayer 10 and the playlist works properly -- have you tried reinstalling CD+G Filter?

I cannot add the cdg file to my library.

When I do File, Add to Library, Add File or Playlist, Choose Files of Type "Any File (*.*)" and select the cdg file, I get the error that says "Windows Media Player cannot add the file to the library because the file format is not supported."

The file will play if I double click it, but I do get a warning first that says the file format is not supported.

Try opening the file using File/Open. When WMP complains and asks if you really would like to open the file answer Yes. This should solve the problems. If not, please let me know what OS are you using.

Yes, File Open works, just like double clicking the file. However, that is not the problem. The problem is that I cannot add it to the Library. I can only add it to a playlist. If I could add it to the Library, then I could access it by artitst name, song name, etc.

FWIW, I'm running XP Professional, SP2

I have XP SP2 and have no problems... How are you trying to add files to the playlist? Have you tried draging and dropping them on the playlist area?

Steps

1. Open "File" menu
2. Select "Add to Library >"
3. Select "Add File or Playlist..."
4. Set "Choose Files of Type:" to "Any File (*.*)"
5. Select a cdg or bin file.
6. Press "Open"
7. You will ge the error: "Windows Media Player cannot add the file to the library because the file format is not supported."

I want to add the file to the library, not to a play list. This will allow me to edit information about the song, such as name and artist. Then I can easily add it to whatever play list I would like. I'm not sure if it will show up in the "All Music" section or the "All Video" section. I guess I have a preference for it in the "All Music" section, although I would probably prefer and "All Karaoke" section.

OK, I see what you mean. I am afraid this will not work -- at the moment you can use karaoke files only in playlists.

I have added this feature to the list of things to do, so I hope it will be available in one of the future versions.

Understood. Thank you so much for your timely responses. This would be a great feature.
