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 ;)

I know its just being redirected. wait untill tomarrow and you will see the beta dissapear. as for some people they can get the icon and not the red x for some reason its supposed to be the butterfly ;) currently im affected by the red x too but im not sweating it im betting it will appear tomarrow. some have said if you clear your ie cache it will show up.

Oh and p.s. Its not a beta cream said so :yes:

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

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
