* 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:

    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.

      I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.

      I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
