WMP 10 is Released


Recommended Posts

That method doesn't even work on mine anymore. I just switched it to view the Napster icon instead. :pinch:

yeah i have IE unchecked for clear cache on exit. and when i reboot i have to apply this fix again so its not a permanent fix by any means its only temporyary :( . I wonder if theres any way of pointing the registry keys at the hard drive (you would need to try C:\whatever\whatever\msnlogo.png and if that doesnt work try the file:///c:/whatever/whatever/msnlogo.png) If the icons are on the local drive it may fix all our problems.

Anyone willing to give it a shot?

I have a question.

Remember in WMP9, when showing the information center while playing a mp3 song, there was nice web pages, with artist biography, album review, and related artists (this one very useful for me). All these information where provided by AMG (all music guid, http://www.allmusic.com).

Nom, in WMP10, it detected that I was in France, and no longer use AMG, but virginmega.fr... Problem : virgin mega is not as exhaustive as allmusic, there's less information, etc.

What I want to do, is using AMG again, not this nothing-here-french-website... How can I do it ? Is there a way to do it ?

well if you were in the us i would suggest using napster since it pulls the info from allmusic but you probably dont have it.

Yes. WMP10 nearly win me over ...

It uses less CPU usage, Less Memory.

but i will still like to see a few things.

Minimize to Tray icon.

Media Player Classic Skin ............

Classic skin is there if you had wmp9 installed before 10

I fixed the red X logo problem by doing the following:

Tools menu

Options

Network tab

Change all of the streaming proxy settings to Autodetect

restart player.

worked for me, only tried it once. The butterfly icon replaces the red X. And no I do not use a proxy server and I never entered any of the logo URLs in IE.

I already had on wmp10 to autodetect network and my buterfly was not there.

Now, i dont know why i have the buterfly, i do not know if it was because i had run tuneup utilities to fix probelems on register.

Now is working... until when? I do not know.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
