I just installed this and I think it's great, however I am having a bit of a pet peeve...

I see in the first few posts the screenshots of the alanis song playing, I see that in the info centre view: msn music service that it shows the album cover right under the playlist and then you see the album name and such with a star rating system on the right hand side (info view)...right above LISTENERS ALSO LIKED, I see a larger version of the album cover.

On mine it doesn't show up and I tried various albums including the alanis album and same thing.

Is there some settings that I have missed tweaking? How do I get this larger view of the cover, what must be set?

please help...

thanks in advance...

:huh:

I just installed Windows Media Player 10 and it seems like Microsoft still need to make sure it works on everyone's comp... this is what it does on my comp....

i can tell you your not running the final then 2 reasons

1 that was a bug with the tech beta

2 that wmp file icon in the back is the old icon the new icon is glassy looking

check your build to make sure its 3646 ;)

How is it on system resources when compared to Itunes? Also does anyone know if it shows the album artwaork for a song that is being played? or would you have to download a script?!!?

Yes you are correct on the build version issue Tom... I just download this like a few hours ago and my version I am running is 3473... and yes it's from MS site...

krome ----> u get that x in the box do this! in the plugins under options turn off nero plugin and that will go away.
SkaterAustin, I took your suggestion and I saw Nero was not even checked but Sumarize was in there for some reason... so after I untick Sumarize, Voila! it worked... thanks
its faster then v9 i believe.

gregstar05, correction... it's slower than WMP9 (on my comp anyways)... WMP9 is way way way faster than WMP10 and faster than WinAMP 5.x

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
