Microsoft QLF-00195 manual Improved Content Filtering, Better Access to your Media

Improved Content Filtering

In Windows 7, content that cannot be played, such as Apple’s Lossless .M4A or H.263 MPEG-4 content, will no longer appear in the music or video library view so you don’t get distracted by files that won’t work. But if you need to get them for some reason, these files will still be listed in the Other Media library in Windows Media Player.

Better Access to your Media

With Windows 7, you always have quick access to media and how it’s played. For instance, Libraries (described earlier) make it easy to browse and access photos, music, and videos on other PCs and devices on your home network. The content of Jump Lists in Windows Media Player on the Start menu and Windows Taskbar changes based on what you play, helping you quickly get to the media you use the most. Then, as you’re playing music, you can rest the mouse pointer on the Windows Media Player taskbar thumbnail to access playback controls or to just see the title of the song that’s playing.
