[QUOTE="etnpnys, post: 156682, member: 17966"] [b]Oops[/b] I apologize that my comments sounded insulting to the designers, developers, and even other users. My frustration was actually geared towards myself not being able to FIND OUT how to do what I wanted. ...I probably should have just played some music through MP and did the dishes or something... Hmph. Anyway, in further response to your responses, I completely appreciate the availability of QUALITY free software. That's ridiculously hard to find these days, so MP is a diamond in the rough. And giving the users the ability to have insight into improving the product? Invaluable. Inker: 1. I cited Vista Ultimate only for the sake of providing a reference to my comparison. 2. My question was essentially how to select a folder and have MP play all contents (even subfolders). Frustration stemmed from not realizing that there was more functionality built into the GUI if I simply used the mouse... I find now that if I right-click a folder and select "Play Now" it does exactly what I wanted - is there a way to do this with the keyboard? I guess I just wasn't anticipating having to use the mouse at all... Cuz you don't really have a mouse on a remote control in your home theater... Geov: 1. I don't understand "Shares" - from the name alone I would expect it to be shared files on the network (or mapped drives, etc.). Is there documentation that outlines what a share is and how to use them? 2. Again, I just wasn't expecting to have to use the mouse for anything. I think that all functionality should be built into a remote - or at least keys on the keyboard. Both of you (and others): How can I remap functionality to keys on the keyboard? I found where to find which keys are mapped to what (through the Config utility) but I can't find where to change them... Like making BACKSPACE go to the previous screen instead of ESC... [/QUOTE]
