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.

It looks that it is a feature. If a bug, I hope that MS isn't going to release a fix for it.
Thanks for the very, very useful trick.

I never found this bug, however got a new one with the WMP12 settings it seems, everytime I open it from my taskbar, it starts with part of the WMP screen going off my monitor, whereby it lost its original settings, which was to open centered on my desktop, now even the toolbar on top is out of focus when I open, and I have a crazy time to get it back centered on my desktop, unless I click on the icon with the arrow and squared on it (sry forgot its name for time being, on an XP machine :D ) and then it changes my view to the one shown here, and automatically centers it. Is this a kind of bug or is it my WIndows registry or something which got bugged up?

^^ First set the window size according to your requirements and then press and hold SHIFT key and click on Close button. It should help Windows to remember WMP window size and position.
