Continuous Streaming

Question

Running Media Player 12 on a Laptop with Windows 7. When I stream music to a digital music player (Roberts WM202) it only streams one music track at a time. My old laptop running Media Player 11 and Windows XP had no problem and I could listen to streamed music all day without having to go back to the digital music player and keep pressing the next button to play the next music track, as I do now. I have tried searching for an answer and all I can find is "open the library in Media Player 7, and check the Stream Continuously button". I have looked all over Media Player 12 and I cannot find a "Stream Countinuously" button.  I can still stream continuous music from my daughters laptop running Media Player 11 and Windows XP. So please help to resolve my problem as it is getting a little tedious.

Hi Bus Man,

I’d suggest you to refer the following articles for detailed information on media streaming:

Getting started with media streaming

Note: If you're using a digital media receiver, it might not support playback of all the file types your computer can stream. For example, your device might support playback of audio files but not video files or picture files. Also, your device might be able to play songs that you purchased from an online store but not songs that you've rented through a subscription service.
