A component of the Now Playing feature, the Media Information pane displays a subset of
information, if available, about the content that you are playing.
For example, if you are playing a music file, the Media Information
pane displays the album art and album title. This information is
provided in the Player by the currently selected online store, if one is available. Otherwise,
the information is provided from a database hosted by
WindowsMedia.com.
To see more detailed information, if available, display the Info
Center View pane.
Notes
To show or hide the Media Information pane, on
the View menu, point to Now Playing Options, and then
click Show Media Information.
If you are playing a music file and you click
Buy CD in the Media Information pane, the music store for
the currently selected online store will be displayed in the Player
so that you have the opportunity to purchase the album that
contains the currently playing item. If the currently selected
online store does not provide a music store, the last online music
store that you visited is displayed instead. If no online music
stores are available in your area, you are provided the opportunity
to purchase the album by WindowsMedia.com.
The privacy option Display media information
from the Internet must be enabled so that the Player can obtain
media information from the currently selected online store or from
WindowsMedia.com.
