How do i enable auto-play with windows media player when i inserta CD?

I've not disabled autoplay using Tweak UI and i've also specified that media
player is the player of choice when an audio CD is inserted. upon inserting
an audio cd nothing happens.

any help appreciated!

For xp use. Start, run, regedit, HKEY-LOCAL-
MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom. Click
on autorun. The number(value) should be 1. Probably is 0.
Change to 1 and restart. I had the same problem and this
cured it.

You could try setting to 0 (zero), rebooting, setting to 1 (one), rebooting.

A value of 0xb5 in the following registry key turns off the AutoRun
feature for CDs:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun


You must set the hexadecimal value to 91 to enable the AutoRun
feature.

This will definetely fix this issue

Try disabling autoplay using Tweak UI, rebooting, enabling, rebooting.

unfortunately it doesn't work, i've tried that.

apparently they've acknowledged the problem and an immediate fix is
available at a price, otherwise i will have to wait for an update in a
service pack.

thanks for all your help anyway! Much appreciated! :)
