Windows Media Player 11 (yes, 11. Not 10)
« on: June 14, 2006, 07:07:38 PM »
Has anyone else tried out Windows Media Player 11 yet?
Download at www.microsoft.com

I would like to know what others think about it, so far its pretty cool.
(I especialy like the look, and the organization of the Artists view)
And also; are there any other Windows Media Player like program that I can download?

        :o I have WAY too many songs entitled "Track 01" or some similar thing... I'm going to have to oragnize over the super-awesome, now here, summer break. ;D

        EDIT: Whoa! Maybe I don't have to do anything. *censored*, if WMP is that good I can't wait for Vista. :)

            I don't know about worst of the month, but I do have over 900 artists in my collection, and yes I have lots of pages to scroll though! :o

            OH! NOW ITS ON!
            Really, McAfee isnt that bad.
            Whats you problem with it, Viper?
            (that's my computer)

            I have my FAIR amount of music on my computer. Not 900 Artists.
            (only 70+ Hours of music)

            Dilbert: You can fix the "Track 01" problem by configuring WMP to automatically find the song info online and update it. Have fun trying to figure it out.

            My favorite part is how it shows the album art, and when viewing by artist, its even better! And its not a boring list anymore. Its much easier to find a song now.

            Run Windows Update and download SP2. Even if you dont want to.

            No way man! SP2 is a waste. all it does is clutter up your system.

            Its just Mircrosofts way of saying "We wanted you to update, but you didnt. Now, were going to force you to. What are you going to do now?"

            Isnt this the same thing thats happening with Windows 9x? Ending supports and updates?

            I always liked IBM's method. They simply declared their obsolete OSes "functionally stable"
