* 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:

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
