Hello,

WMA may be DRM protected, you may only be able to play the song on the
computer it is licenced to.

Otherwise, just locate the physical file (while playing the song: File >
Properties) and send it to anyone as a attachment.

So I just copy & paste the URL in an email ? Thanks so much tompangbuddy !

Hello,

URL? Are you playing a streaming song or a physical file located in the hard
disk?

If it is a streaming song from a server (e.g. you clicked a link on a
website that started to play a song), just send the URL to them.

sorry, no, as i bought some from amazon & puretracks & got many free from
spiralfrog.com

 

[Dallas]

okay, what am i doing wrong, other than owning a pc ?!

here's the result of the file>properties: C:\Documents and
Settings\Dallas\My Documents\My Music\Soundtrack\The Best Little Whorehouse
In Texas\Various Artists.The Best

this doesn't seem right, so i must be doing something wrong; again.

thanks

okay, i did it again, other song, just to see & it still seems wrong - here
again is the file>properties result:"
C:\Documents and Settings\Dallas\My Documents\My Music\Little Texas\Big Time

Hello,

See http://i42.tinypic.com/2vtzihk.gif for an example on how to get a file's
path in Properties

hi tom,

this is exactly what i am doing, but all it shows is the location. i tried
it via my music as well, & same w/ the file?properties function.

is it because i am still using wmp10 ? if so, how do i do this w/ v. 10 ?

thanks so much!

Hello,

Maybe it is hidden as the folder name could be very long. Right-click in the
value of Location (in your case '..Documents and Settings\Dallas\My
Documents\My Music\Little Texas\Big..'), click Select All, press ctrl+c and
then Paste the text in a notepad window to reveal the full location

 

[Dallas]

thanks again but while a few show the .wma at the end, not all do; case in
point this one from above:"
C:\Documents and
Settings\Dallas\My Documents\My Music\Soundtrack\The Best Little Whorehouse
In Texas\Various Artists.The Best

I will add a .wma & see if that works

 

[Dallas]

i added the .wma but it's still not a clickable url to have a song play

Hello,

Try this - right-click on the file in the Playing list and click Open
containing folder
http://i44.tinypic.com/whi9ex.gif

This will open the folder containing the song. Then you can narrow down the
file that is playing in that folder.

But the Properties method should work. Maybe there's a hard limit on the
number of characters it is displaying or you are not doing a Select All
properly.

 

[Dallas]

thanks again & i tried that, but same thing - it gives me the location &
there are even spaces between Documents & Settings

C:\Documents and Settings\Dallas\My Documents\My Music\Soundtrack\The Best
Little Whorehouse In Texas\Various Artists.The Best

is it because i am still in wmp10 ?

 

[TompangBuddy.Com]

Hello,

I am using WMP10 here as well. Try the method I recommended - right-click on
the file in the Playing list and click 'Open containing folder'. Otherwise,
out of ideas

 

[Dallas]

thanks so much tom as i did that, but all it gives, is the same as
file>props, the location, & even then, there are spaces between words, as
you see the copy & paste below

thanks anyway; also for your patience

 

[Dallas]

anyone else ? where the heck did orange bail to ? hope he is alright

Hello,

A bit more technical and extreme is to use Process Explorer to see what
handles WMP has
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

From there you can narrow down the MP3/WMA file that it is playing from

 

[Dallas]

again, much thanks & i installed this but i dont see any reference to mp3 or
wma

 

[Dallas]

thanks & i opened wmp10, started a song & went back to the process page, saw
a wmp, so clicked on it & it opened a properties box but in all the
different windows within, i see no ......wma for the selected song
