Re: WMP10 does not jump to current song in library

I've reverted back to WMP 9 as well.

If we can make requests here, I would like the auto-scroll to playing track
implemented in the next version too.

I don't like Windows Media Player 10 because the Library View doesn't jump
to playing track. There's no way to get it to jump automatically to the
track being played on the "All Music" view.

[The jumping to the playing track on the 'Now Playing' view is no good
because you can't see as many columns in this view (and therefore can't
quickly edit the id3 tags).]
