You can right-click on a file and click on "Advanced Tag Editor", then find "Music Category Description". You can choose your categories in a drop down menu.  Click ok and you should be able to group all same categories together.  The only thing is, you have to go into each music file and go through this process.  This is the only way I know how....(I hope this helps...)

Media Center has very strict requirements, therefore not any computer can run Media Center, hence there is not much use for another subsitute media center. The most out there is just a movie/picture/music viewer, which Windows Media Player 10 is great for. \n\nMedia Center requires you computer to have a TV tuner, a high end video card, sufficient RAM, and lots more. For those high demands, you are not able to find any Media Center Editions on sale in any stores. Any copies of Media Center would be considered "gray copies" which Mircrosoft would offer no help or support for.

I am pretty sure I saw media center in shops for sale, so you must be able to buy it. I have it on two of the computers here, and like it. I thought it was a version of windows home and some easier ways to access video, and I discovered that what i have is windows pro, with all the back up, etc, plus the multimedia stuff. So, go for media center, you get windows pro for cheaper.... and maybe you will buy a tv tuner sooner or later.

You will have to clean your registry, use CCleaner. The Windows Media Player 11 has left remnants of itself in the registry.

XP Pro is more suited for a professional/commercial environment. XP Pro also caontains tools like Remote Desktop connects that are not available for XP Home. I'm not sure if those are present in MCE. Windows XP Media Center Edition lets you experience video, audio, pictures, and TV through a convenient user interface that makes it more cenvenient to enjoy digital media. \n\nThe link I attached compares each version of windows XP to the other. You will find it very useful.

Easy, SnapStream, or I think it's now called BeyondTV, there was an article written on it in 2002 on tomsnetworking.com, great article: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/network/20020423/\n\nA little more than $50, but $69.99 ain't bad. If you don't already have a tv tuner card for your PC then get the bundle that comes with it.\n\nI'm not sure but I think the XP Media Edition PCs have similar software already built-in as well.

If you have XP it will do it without additional software. For music use Window media player, For files you can right click on it then send to (then letter of drive)\nOtherwise you will need Nero software (which is good to have even with XP)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "seems to control my computer" but when I did use WMP in the past (I now moved to iTunes) it served me fairly well for a basic music player. It's music library isn't particularly great in organizing properly, but if you arn't too big on music it's fine... Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

Windows Media Center is an OEM only addition to Windows XP Home or Professional. If you have been performing your updates and you try to install on top of your current install that is your problem..

I have both and yes, you can still use your windows media player. When you put a disk in, either a CD or DVD, a window will pop up giving you a choice on which one you want to use.

It can do all those things.  Windows XP Media Center is essentially Windows XP with a few gimmicks thrown in.
