* looking at iTunes 4.5 *, * looking at WMP 10 *, * looking at iTunes 4.5 again *, * looking back to WMP 10*, * runs back to iTunes 4.5 on precious eMac *

I'm running WMP 10 now on my Windows XP box and it looks more like WMP 9 with a new strange skin. It doesn't fit in with the standard Windows XP look at all, it's all shiny and stuff and Luna isn't anything like that. But that you can rip cd's in mp3 format now is cool(iTunes could already do that so it's not a new cool fantastic thing, but okay). And I don't like the fact that there are 3rd party music stores integrated in it that you can't change (as far I know of). I hope Microsoft includes some more updates than this, and some new cool skins. I just know that they can do better than this! :D

XP_2003, is l3codeca.acm or l3codecp.acm in C:\Windows\System32?? Ripping into the MP3 format will _not_ be included. You must pay Fraunhofer for the encoder first.

thanks

does it play flac?

Is there a directshow decoder for it? No, it does not support adding them to the library with tags, but you can play anything with a directshow filter installed.

hmmm I thought that someone over here said that you could rip cd's in mp3 format. Haven't done it myself yet, since I have my whole mp3 collection on my mac ;)

As soon as you pay FhG (really you are paying Intervideo, cyberlink, etc - but's it's Fraunhofer encoder) for the encoder you can rip CD's, but this will not be included in any realease of the player.

will it play divx?

Sure, why not. Just install the DivX codec or any other Dshow deocder that does DivX.

If you have l3codecp.acm that means you have pirated software installed! You should have l3codeca.acm, that's the standard decoder. l3codecp.acm is pure pirated crap.

does the radio function still work? i couldn't find it

Q. Where did the Radio Tuner go?

A. To access radio stations, click Guide, and then click Radio. (You must be connected to the Internet to use the Guide feature.)

They seem to have made all of the lyrics, artist info, etc subscription based now.. so you can only view lyrics (as far as i've seen) via a plugin such as SongWriterWMP or via the advanced tag editor which is very small.

Great! It would be so annoying trying to view the lyrics with the advanced tag editor. They better bring some lyrics functionality back before the final release.

I don't understand you sorry.:blush:

But that's too bad that you'll need 3rd party programs to rip cd's in mp3 format under Windows :(. But I'm sure they'll have their reasons :ninja:

Becuase they don't OWN it! Sounds like a good one to me. If you can rip Cd's in WMp you already have a pirated encoder installed or you have purchased and install the true rip pack at some point. It's not there from this beta install, it can't be.

Maybe there will be a new MS signed theme to go along with SP2 that will match? *wishful thinking* :unsure:

    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
