Just fyi, it appears there's been an update for the Windows 8 music and video apps.

The changelog still hasn't been updated, but from what I can tell this update isn't substantial. Biggest difference is that it's much, much faster and they've changed some of the icons.

Still can't pin artists to start, smartdj options are still lacking (I want to limit to just artists in my collection and I can't :( )

Every little bit helps.

EDIT: They've updated the feedback form as well, if you folks aren't using it you shouldn't be complaining ;)

My Videos Still has the shadow scaling problem and the release year isn't shown like it was in previous versions.

Id love if we could bring up this ui for our tagged movies with all the info read from the metadata

    • Apart from a few very specific hiccups, Windows 11 has been good for me. Rock solid and stable. Unpopular opinion, I know, but it's mine.
    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
