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) 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 Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a Menu. The commands on this menu vary,
