Windows Forum / Windows Media / General Topics / May 2007media player 11 'drag items here'
have looked through other questions and have tried things ive seen but have no idea y i cant simply drag music and videos into media player 11 on vista to get it to play? at the moment find media player 11 completly useless and also cant find it in the 'add remove program' menu to uninstall it and install media player 10, desperately need some help. ta Hi, Which pane are you focusing on in WMP when you do this? Are you in the Library pane? The Rip and Sync panes both have baskets along the right side as drag and drop targets, but those don't cause playback to occur. Only the one in the LIbrary pane does, and it only starts playback if the basket is completely empty. Also, where are you dragging these files from when you drop them into the basket for playback?

Can you please make sure that the files you're trying to drop have these extensions: wma, wmv, asf, avi, mp3, wav, mpg, mpeg, midi, aiff If they're files like M4A, M4P, MOV or RA, or RM, those are not playable by Media Player.

You shouldn't be getting an elevation prompt just trying to play MP3 files. Have you tried creating a new user account on that computer to see if the behavior duplicates on the second account?

If you don't elevate Media Player, this should work fine. SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
