Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows Media Player in Windows 7
In the next iteration of the Windows operating system, mainly Windows 7, the Windows Media Player comes with several enhancements: internet Radio playback, camera and camcorder video digital support, a new Now Playing view, unplayable content filtering, CD or DVD playback resuming, improved Jump List and a simple way to access the advanced settings. It is no mystery that Windows Media Center in Windows 7 comes with tons of goodies; what is a mystery (potentially) to some of you is how you can easily and rapidly access those goodies.
Ever since the operating system was in Beta, it came with numerous new keyboard shortcuts (details here), which was a great treat for the tech savvy PC user out there that rarely touches the mouse in his day-to-day computer usage. The Windows Media Player comes with its own long list of keyboard shortcuts that you can try out and Microsoft wants to make sure everyone knows what these keyboard shortcuts are.
