What I'd like to know is why, when I double click MP3 files of songs in Windows
Vista to play them in Windows Media Player, it takes 3-5min. to start playing?



Actually I have a similar problem. But it is only the FIRST time try to play an MP3 since the machine was booted. I usually just close media player and start again after 20 seconds. The second time and all times after that it starts to play immediately. I assumed it was some DRM thing.


I prefer the old version of media player because the WAVES / MIST visualization is actually a usable spectrum analyzer that I sometimes look at while casual listening. It can show problems that are outside my hearing range.
