Windows Media Player 12 ima odgovor na iTunes trgovinu putem svojih mogućnosti pregledavanja online trgovine. Možete pregledavati Microsoftov^(Microsoft) vlastiti vodič za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)} kako biste pogledali besplatne najave, glazbene spotove i singlove vrhunskih izvođača izravno u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Ili možete posjetiti druge usluge mrežnog sadržaja, kao što su eMusic i Audible, a da nikada ne napustite Windows Media Player 12 . Ova vam mogućnost daje pristup dinamičnom sadržaju, uključujući istaknute umjetnike, internetski radio^{(Internet Radio)} i kratke špice filmova na kino blagajnama uz videozapise i glazbu pohranjene lokalno na vašem tvrdom disku. U ovom vodiču pokazat ćemo vam kako odabrati trgovinu, pregledavati internetske trgovine, preuzimati i streamati pjesme i kretati seVodič za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)} .

Kako odabrati trgovinu

Da biste odabrali internetsku trgovinu u programu Windows Media Player 12 , kliknite strelicu desno od ikone "Online trgovine"^{('Online Stores')} ili "Vodič za medije"^{('Media Guide')} neposredno ispod navigacijskog okna^{(Navigation Pane)} . Odaberite "Pregledaj sve internetske trgovine"^{('Browse All Online Stores')} .

 

Napomena:^(Note:) Ako ne vidite ikonu 'Vodič za medije'^{('Media Guide')} ili 'Online trgovine'^{('Online Stores')} , kliknite Datoteka^(File) i provjerite je li poništeno 'Work Offline' . Ako je odabrano, poništite ga i zatim ponovno pokrenite Windows Media Player 12 .

Alternativno, kliknite Prikaz^(View) i odaberite "Online trgovine"^{('Online Stores')} za iste opcije kao da kliknete ikonu ispod navigacijskog okna^{(Navigation Pane)} .

Dobro^(Okay) , sad smo svi na istoj stranici? super^(Great) . Nakon što kliknete na 'Pregledaj sve internetske trgovine'^{('Browse all online stores')} trebali biste pogledati zaslon 'Izbor internetskih trgovina'^{('Choice of Online Stores')} . Za sada, izbor je relativno mali, sastoji se od Audible , eMusic i nekih latino trgovina. Microsoft će vjerojatno dodati još u nastavku. Iako je za sada nepotrebno, možete sortirati trgovine po vrsti medija klikom na hiperveze.

Sada bi također mogao biti dobar trenutak da naglasimo da su Media Guide i internetske trgovine u biti samo web stranice koje se pregledavaju unutar Windows Media Playera 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Za one od vas koji su paranoični u vezi s hakerima i virusima, ovo predstavlja sigurnosni problem, iako bi to moglo biti samo pregledavanje u Internet Exploreru^{(Internet Explorer)} . Da vam olakša, Windows Media Player vam u gornjem desnom kutu daje do znanja svoju web lokaciju. Možete kliknuti na ovo i osvježiti stranicu.

Kada kliknete na trgovinu, Windows Media Player 12 će dvaput provjeriti da li je želite odabrati. Reci da^(Yes) .

Prije nego što krenemo dalje, kliknite strelicu desno od ikone 'Online trgovine'^{('Online Stores')} (zapravo, sada bi trebala prikazivati ​​ikonu trgovine koju gledate). Možete kliknuti "Dodaj trenutnu uslugu u izbornik"^{('Add Current Service to Menu')} da biste se spremili korak kasnije.

Kad sljedeći put kliknete tu strelicu, vidjet ćete ovu internetsku trgovinu (i sve druge koje ste dodali) uključenu u padajući izbornik. Ako ga se želite riješiti, jednostavno kliknite 'Ukloni trenutnu uslugu s izbornika'^{('Remove Current Service from Menu')} .

Kako pregledavati internetske trgovine

Sada kada ste odabrali trgovinu, možete početi pregledavati njezin online sadržaj. Kao što smo spomenuli, sve je ovo samo proslavljeni web preglednik. Dakle, kada se prebacite, jednostavno ćete biti preusmjereni na web-stranicu usluge koju ste odabrali, iako će možda biti malo poboljšana za gledanje u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Neke od ovih usluga imaju besplatan sadržaj, ali većina će zahtijevati da se barem registrirate.

S obzirom na to, ove su stranice obično optimizirane za korištenje u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} , tako da obično možete reproducirati preglede i isječke izravno u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Na primjer, na ovoj snimci zaslona prijavljen sam na svoj eMusic račun i pregledavam album izravno u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} .

Sve internetske trgovine imat će svoja sučelja i navigacijske sheme, pa ćemo njima prepustiti da vam pokažu užad. Ali samo da znate, sve transakcije koje izvršite putem internetske trgovine obavljat će odgovarajući dobavljač, a ne Microsoft . Vaš račun bit će s eMusic ili Audibleom ili bilo kim za koga se odlučite prijaviti, unatoč činjenici da trgovini pristupate putem Windows Media Playera 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} .

Kako preuzeti sadržaj

Osim streaming sadržaja, možete kupiti i sadržaj koji se može preuzeti. Opet^(Again) , svaka usluga ima vlastiti sustav za upravljanje vašim kupnjama i preuzimanjima. Ali povremeno, klikom na datoteku za preuzimanje otvorit će se zadani dijaloški okvir za preuzimanje sustava Windows . ^(Windows)Ovdje možete odabrati Otvori^(Open) za reprodukciju bez spremanja na tvrdi disk. Ili možete kliknuti Spremi^(Save) da biste zadržali datoteku.

Kada kliknete Spremi^(Save) , jednostavno spremite datoteku u svoju glazbenu biblioteku^{(Music Library)} ili drugu mapu koju prati Windows Media Player 12 . Ako ste zaboravili kako postaviti mape glazbene biblioteke^{(Music Library)} , vratite se i pročitajte Windows Media Player 12 – Što je novo i kako radi^{(Windows Media Player 12 - What's New and How It Works)} .

Vodič za Windows Media - kako ga koristiti

Vodič za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)} odvojen je od internetske trgovine, ali radi uglavnom na isti način. I ovdje koristite Windows Media Player 12 kao prošireni web preglednik za posjet WindowsMedia.com . Vodič za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)} sadrži više sadržaja prilagođenog Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} , međutim, uključujući besplatne najave filmova, istaknute umjetnike i internetski radio^{(Internet Radio)} . Najave filmova i besplatni glazbeni spotovi rade isto kao i na drugim internetskim trgovinama - jednostavno kliknite da biste ih odmah pogledali u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Na primjer, klikom na ovaj Robin Hood oglas odmah će se reproducirati trailer u Now Playingnačin rada.

Kada se videozapis završi, možete se vratiti u biblioteku Playera^{(Player Library)} da biste se vratili na Vodič za medije.

Kako slušati internet radio

Značajka internetskog radija^{(Internet Radio)} u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} posebno je prikladna. Možete pregledavati radijske postaje po žanru i kliknuti Slušaj^(Listen) za trenutni početak strujanja. Također možete kliknuti Posjeti^(Visit) da biste bili preusmjereni na web stranicu stanice. Ovo će otvoriti web stranicu u vašem zadanom pregledniku.

S desne strane, Windows Media Player 12 pratit će vaše nedavno slušane postaje.

Također ćete vidjeti opciju koja vam omogućuje odabir između niske i velike brzine strujanja. Vaš trenutni izbor bit će podebljan. Sumnjamo da vam ova značajka neće trebati jer A) ima li NETKO^(ANYONE) dial-up ovih dana? i B) Windows Media Player 12 automatski detektira vašu brzinu prema zadanim postavkama kada pokrene stream. Uključio sam ga na svoju kabelsku širokopojasnu vezu i nisam primijetio razliku.

 

Napomena:^(Note:) Ako iz nekog razloga želite onemogućiti automatsko otkrivanje brzine veze, kliknite Alati^(Tools) i odaberite Opcije^(Options) . Na kartici Performanse^{(Performance)} kliknite "Odaberi brzinu veze"^{('Choose connection speed')} i odaberite brzinu na padajućem izborniku. Također možete promijeniti međuspremnik, ako želite. Ovo je zgodno ako imate vrlo sporu vezu koja proizvodi isprekidani zvuk. Postavljanje više međuspremnika pauzirati će reprodukciju sve dok se ne učita određena količina sadržaja kako bi se smanjila isjeckanost. Preporučujemo da se držite zadanih postavki osim ako nemate ozbiljnih problema s izvedbom. Kliknite Primijeni^(Apply) , a zatim U redu^(OK) nakon što ste spremni.

Kako pretraživati ​​vodič za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)}

U gornjem desnom kutu primijetit ćete okvir za pretraživanje. Odavde možete pretraživati ​​Windows Media Guide tako da upišete izvođača, naziv pjesme ili albuma ili neki drugi ključni pojam. U ovom primjeru izvršio sam pretragu za Cat Stevens . Dobit ćete dva skupa rezultata: oni na vrhu otvorit će se u Windows Media Guide unutar Windows Media Playera 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Preostali rezultati koji se nalaze ispod preloma su sa cijelog weba (kao što su YouTube i DailyMotion ) i otvorit će se u vašem zadanom pregledniku ako ih kliknete.

Zaključak

Kroz Windows Media Player 12 možete pregledavati Windows Media Guide i druge internetske trgovine. Odavde možete odmah preuzimati pjesme, reproducirati streaming sadržaja i slušati Internet radio . Iako je sučelje uglavnom isto kao i gledanje ovih web-mjesta putem Internet Explorera^{(Internet Explorer)} , internetske trgovine i stranice vodiča za Windows Media^{(Windows Media Guide)} optimizirane su za dobru reprodukciju s Windows Media Playerom 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} . Cjelokupni učinak je iskustvo pregledavanja koje je malo slobodnije i impresivnije od iTunesa, ali mu nedostaje centralizirani račun putem Microsofta^(Microsoft) za plaćeni sadržaj. Uz to, ako već imate Audible ili eMusic račun, ondaWindows Media Player 12 omogućuje vam besprijekornu integraciju vaše biblioteke s kupljenim sadržajem. Sve u svemu, Windows Media Player 12 nudi jednostavan i praktičan način istraživanja i kupnje nove glazbe.

Shop Online & Use the Windows Media Guide with Windows Media Player 12

Windows Media Player 12 has an answer to the iTunes store via its online stоre browsing capabilities. You cаn browse Microsoft's own Windows Media Guide to check оut free traіlers, mυsic videos and sіngles from top аrtists directly in Windows Medіa Player 12. Or you сan visit other online content services, such as eMυsic and Audible without ever leaving Windows Media Player 12. This capability giνes you access to dynamic content, including featured artists, Internet Radio and sneak peаks of box office movies alongside the videos and music saved locally on your hard drive. In this tutorial, we'll show yоu how to choose a store, browse online stores, download and stream songs and navigate the Wіndows Media Guіde.

How to Choose a Store

To choose an online store in Windows Media Player 12, click the arrow to the right of the 'Online Stores' or 'Media Guide' icon just below the Navigation Pane. Choose 'Browse All Online Stores'.

 

Note: If you do not see the 'Media Guide' or 'Online Stores' icon, click File and make sure that 'Work Offline' is unchecked. If it is selected, uncheck it and then restart Windows Media Player 12.

Alternately, click View and choose 'Online Stores' for the same options as if you were to click the icon below the Navigation Pane.

Okay, we all on the same page now? Great. After clicking on 'Browse all online stores' you should be looking at the 'Choice of Online Stores' screen. As of now, the pickings are relatively slim, consisting of Audible, eMusic and some Latino stores. Microsoft will likely add more down the road. Though it's unnecessary for now, you can sort the stores by media type by clicking the hyperlinks.

Now might also be a good time to point out that the Media Guide and the online stores are essentially just webpages being viewed within Windows Media Player 12. For those of you paranoid about hackers and viruses, this does introduce a security issue, though no more than browsing in Internet Explorer might. To put you at ease, Windows Media Player lets you know your web location in the top-right. You can click this to refresh the page as well.

When you click on a store, Windows Media Player 12 will double check to make sure you want to select it. Say Yes.

Before we move on, click the arrow to the right of the 'Online Stores' icon (actually, now it should be displaying the icon of the store you're viewing). You can click 'Add Current Service to Menu' to save yourself a step later.

Next time you click that arrow, you'll see this online store (and any others you've added) included in the drop-down menu. If you want to get rid of it, simply click 'Remove Current Service from Menu'.

How to Browse Online Stores

Now that you've selected a store, you can start browsing their online content. Like we mentioned, all of this is just a glorified web browser. So, when you switch, you will simply be taken to the website of the service you chose, though it may be spruced up a bit for viewing in Windows Media Player 12. Some of these services have free content but most will require you to at least register.

With that being said, these sites are typically optimized for use in Windows Media Player 12, so you can usually play previews and clips right in Windows Media Player 12. For example, in this screenshot, I'm logged into my eMusic account and previewing an album directly in Windows Media Player 12.

All the online stores will have their own interfaces and navigation schemes, so we'll leave it up to them to show you the ropes. But just so you know, any transactions you make through the online store will be handled by the respective vendor and not Microsoft. Your account will be with eMusic or Audible or whoever you choose to sign up for, in spite of the fact that you are accessing the store through Windows Media Player 12.

How to Download Content

In addition to streaming content, you can also purchase downloadable content. Again, each service has their own system for managing your purchases and downloads. But occasionally, clicking a downloadable file will pull up the default Windows download dialog. Here, you can choose Open to play without saving to your hard disk. Or, you can click Save to keep the file.

When you click Save, simply save the file to your Music Library or another folder that's being monitored by Windows Media Player 12. If you forgot how to setup your Music Library folders, go back and read Windows Media Player 12 - What's New and How It Works.

Windows Media Guide - How to Use it

The Windows Media Guide is separate from the online store but works in largely the same way. Here as well, you're just using Windows Media Player 12 as a souped-up web browser to visit WindowsMedia.com. The Windows Media Guide has more Windows Media Player 12-friendly content, however, including free movie trailers, featured artists and Internet Radio. The movie trailers and free music videos work the same as they do on the other online stores--simply click to view them instantly in Windows Media Player 12. For example, clicking on this Robin Hood advertisement will play the trailer instantly in Now Playing mode.

When the video is done playing, you can return to the Player Library to go back to the Media Guide.

How to Listen to Internet Radio

The Internet Radio feature in Windows Media Player 12 is particularly apt. You can browse radio stations by genre and click Listen to begin streaming instantly. You can also click Visit to be taken to the station's website. This will open the website in your default browser.

On the right, Windows Media Player 12 will keep track of your recently listened stations.

You'll also see an option that lets you choose between low and high stream speeds. Your current choice will be bolded. We suspect you won't need this feature because A) does ANYONE have dial-up these days? and B) Windows Media Player 12 auto-detects your speed by default when it initiates the stream. I switched it on my cable broadband connection and didn't notice a difference.

 

Note: If for some reason you want to disable auto-detect of your connection speed, click Tools and choose Options. From the Performance tab, click 'Choose connection speed' and choose a speed on the drop-down menu. You can also change the buffer, if you'd like. This is handy if you have a very slow connection that produces choppy sound. Setting the buffer higher will pause the playback until a certain amount of content has been loaded to reduce choppiness. We recommend sticking with the default settings unless you're having serious performance issues. Click Apply and then OK once you're all set.

How to Search the Windows Media Guide

In the top-right corner, you'll notice a search box. You can search the Windows Media Guide from here by typing in an artist, song or album name or some other key term. In this example, I've run a search for Cat Stevens. You'll get two sets of results: those at the top will open in Windows Media Guide within Windows Media Player 12. The remaining results located below the fold are from around the web (such as YouTube and DailyMotion) and will open in your default browser, if clicked.

Conclusion

Through Windows Media Player 12, you can browse through the Windows Media Guide and other online stores. From here, you can instantly download songs, play streaming content and listen to Internet Radio. Although the interface is largely the same as viewing these sites through Internet Explorer, the online stores and Windows Media Guide pages have been optimized to play well with Windows Media Player 12. The overall effect is a browsing experience that is a little more free form and immersive than iTunes but lacks a centralized account through Microsoft for paid content. With that being said, if you already have an Audible or eMusic account, then Windows Media Player 12 lets you seamlessly integrate your library with your purchased content. All in all, Windows Media Player 12 offers an easy and convenient way to explore and purchase new music.
