About the Screens and Menus

Windows Media Player has three primary screens:

Playback screen. The default screen that displays the playback controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous, and Volume), the album art window, and the video window. You can change the appearance of this screen by choosing a different skin.

Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing playlist. This special playlist indicates the currently playing file and any files that are “queued up” to play next.

Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your audio files, video files, and playlists. It contains categories such as My Music, My Video, My TV, and My Playlists.

At the bottom of each screen is a menu called Menu. The commands on this menu change depending upon which screen you are viewing.
