    SilverlightShow Page for all Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 (WP7) things on TwitterNick Gravelyn talks about the changes in MediaPlayer, the interface for playing music on Windows Phone, that can affect your applications.

    The short is that you are no longer allowed to set the Volume or IsMuted properties when the active media source is the Zune media library and any time you switch between library music and title music, you must reset any properties on MediaPlayer you care about. These changes were made to ensure applications didn’t alter the user’s music playback experience in a way that the native Zune media player cannot reverse (there is no UI in the Zune media player for music-specific volume or a mute control).

    In this post, Nick Gravelyn explains how to simulate the missing landscape mode for XNA applications on Windows Phone 7.

    The current CTP for the Windows Phone Developer Tools does not include the final scaling/rotation logic that will automatically handle orientation for XNA Game Studio games. Because of this it can be hard to start working on a landscape game for Windows Phone.
