Something interesting found in Windows Media Player 12:

1. Play a music file in WMP 12. It may be single file or group of files and you can play any format.

2. Now either move the Seek slider (progress bar) or click on "Next" button.

3. As soon as you move the slider or click on Next button, immediately click anywhere inside WMP window and hold it. Now you'll start enjoying the bug.

The songs starts playing in Fast-forward mode.

Now let us know your opinion about it. Is it a bug or is it supposed to be a feature?

IMO its a bug. Actually when you click and hold the "Next" button, its supposed to fast-forward the music track but in the above mentioned steps, we are not holding the Next button.

No Vishal, can't reproduce what you mentioned. Works fine here.

You uninstall media player and reinstall or check any codecs causing this.

Didn't work on my PC... So it might be a bug. I'll check the Windows Updates and see if it has anything to do with it.
