Delays with HP Tunes

When using HP Tunes, you may experience some delays, or HP Tunes may not function properly. These delays can occur because:

There is an audio CD in the drive, and HP Tunes is attempting to connect to an Internet database to find music information, such as song titles.

There is a large collection of songs in your music library.

Windows Media Player or another music playback program is set as the default player. See the following procedure.

Selecting a default audio player

If you have already set your default audio player to Windows Media Player, you may experience a delay when trying to open HP Tunes. To resolve this issue:

1 Close Media Center, if open.

2 Double-click the iTunes shortcut icon on the desktop.

3 When the iTunes default player for audio files message opens,

place a check mark in the Do not show this message again check box, and then click Yes or No.

4 If you have not completed the iTunes Setup Assistant wizard, follow the onscreen instructions.

5 Open Media Center, and then open HP Tunes.
