WMP "date last played" is inaccurate

[mattjackson07]

Hi, I'm using WMP 11 and Vista. I just noticed when I played a song at 8pm
on June 2nd, it updated the "date last played" to June 3rd. Is there a time
zone setting that can be changed? I've looked seemingly everywhere. Thanks
for anyone's help.

Same here, I think it's a Windows update bug. Probably will be fixed soon. Hopefully!

What time zone are you in? Date last played is actually a combination of
date and time, and WMP always seems to use GMT time to set it,
regardless of the time zone that is set in Control Panel.

If there's a significant difference between your time zone and GMT, then
this would explain why it's setting the wrong date. For example, when
it's 8 PM in the US, it's already the next day in the GMT time zone (8+6).

Understandably, no one uses GMT time except Department of Defence or airlines. Why can't West Coast tech companies just adapt to the realities of the rest of the world? This is not a Windows bug, just lazy programming.
