WMP11 - Get it while its Hot

Hey guys, came across this on the ol' internets.

I've downloaded it, and tried it, and it is very user friendly, and now you can encode in 320 MP3 with it too, It probably wont replace iTunes for most of you, but it does for me. Be sure to check out Urge if you can.

Is it beta or what Benji ?

is it beta? and is this gd?

edit: T&C

4. PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. This software is a pre-release version. It may not work the way a final version of the software will. We may change it for the final, commercial version. We also may not release a commercial version.

Download it and see for yourself. :)

Its Legit, or else i'm pretty sure it wouldnt be on softpedia.

#388367

Requires genuine Windows.

#388368

I didn't say that Benji ,it's that i don't like m$ beta software .

It messes your system (not that the final doesn't do that) :-0

#388369

Oh, i gotcha. Lol

#388382

Wow, Urge is pretty damn decent.

#388534

Trying around now..

if this is not a memory monster like iTunes i will switch to media player immediately.

Because even i'm a mPlugin user iTunes is very bad resource eater for me :(

#388553

Could someone check something for me please.

When in toolbar mode when minimized, is this dark/black? I can't stand not being able to skin the blue toolbar mode player of previous versions.

#388561

it is black.

er i hid the right pane and i cant get it back! :confused:

and where the hell are my plenoptic visualizations :(

#388568

Thanks. :)

what i don't understand about iTunes and now wmp11 is in the now playing area there is always an option to buy what you are currently playing.

if you are playing it, surely you don't need to buy it? for everything else online there is usually 100 different opportunities to buy it before you can actually preview it so its still not needed...

the shoving of the now playing artist and title into the bottom lefthand corner isn't very nice either..im beginning to miss wmp10 already...

@Slewed : click the arrow button under Now Playing and then "Show List Pane"

I just installed it. I like the new interface. The only thing that is annoying me is the OnlineStores tab.

It says that there are no available online stores for your location. I presume this is just for the UK at the mo. Are others having the same problem?

#388625

yeah its the same here and im in the UK

here in Türkiye i can reach the URGE store

#388651

does it show up in 'add/remove', in case i don't like it?

#388661

it doesnt show up in add/remove programs. since i installed it, not only does it fail to start, but Norton Internet Security 2006 fails to function properly, and the Windows System Restore interface doesn't show up. I believe this is what has caused my computer to mess up. Any help on uninstalling it would be greatly appreciated. Send me a message on how to do it.

Its Legit, or else i'm pretty sure it wouldnt be on softpedia.

then why are the download links on softpedia not pointing to a legit location? also there's a torrent link at the bottom.

#388690

WMP 11 may be looking nice, but is still one of the most infuriating players ever invented.

There's no option for mass tagging, and it meddles with existing tags.

The only plus for this version is the library view.

#388695

well, i'm sure it's legit in that it's a real ms beta. but, i'm also sure it's a leak. i'm surprised ms hasn't made softpedia pull it down.

#388709

indeed-- if it were legit, you'd think that M$ would host a version on their site, or even provide a link form their site. i feel so dirty.

edit: this thing pwns itunes/store

#388711

well its supposed to be released on the 17th I believe ;)
