With Windows Media Player 11 installed, searching your entire music library just got better. Windows Media Player 11′s capable search modifiers can help you search your music effectively. For example, you can just narrow down to tracks from a particular artist by using the ‘Artist’ Search Modifier.

For example, Artist: Akon will search and list only the songs by Akon. Similarly, you can use the ‘Album’ operator to search for songs from a particular Album.

The useful Search Modifiers supported by Windows Media Player are here for your information:
