Windows Media Player 11 BETA


Recommended Posts

The mixing of the icons sucks because they don't match, but I'm all for better, updated software for an OS I already own :)

Yeah, I agree. Ie 7 and WMP 11 for XP is all I'm up for slipstreaming in the XP SP2 CD.

(Can those 2 even BE slipstreamed? :unsure: )

It's not only the icons, it's the feel it has. Just doesn't belong in Windows XP imo :no:

Wasn't WMP11 final due out by the end of this month? Cutting it close, aren't they?

I thought they wanted to release it to Windows Vista only at first. Only afterwards they decided to release it to Windows XP too. So I doubt the final would have been released this month.

Lol I can promise you that WLM .566 will be released either today or tomorrow. As for WMP11, I haven't had an update on that in about a month now :rolleyes:. I just hope the project hasn't died or something :|

Well having tried the February CTP and playing around with Vista's WMP11 as it is, I'd say I'm a little relieved that it hasn't come out yet, on hindsight. It's a little bit too buggy at the moment, I found, for even general use.

Just my 2 Cents!

Does anyone know how and if WMP11 will handle/support "podcasts"? I mean, they have to get on the bandwagon and not ignore the whole thing because it has the name "pod" in it...

So does anyone know?

RSS? XML feeds? :blink: :unsure:

From watching the channel 9 video a while back, there were no plans to add rss feed support to WP11. May have changed since then. As you said they'd be stupid to ignore it. However they are doing a great of job of ignoring the aac files (non DRM ones) preferred by apple. Still no support for them in the last CTP of vista. So don't hold your breath!

I wonder if WMP11 for XP will enable Media Center (2005) to cope with a reasonable anount of music without grinding to a halt...

I dont see why not, Media center 2005 is like the last verson of XP they made, and if they didnt include this feature in media player 11 XP then i dont know why not

I can't believe the beta isn't out yet, we all expected it in Feb, its almost the middle of March now and no word when :( Oh well, as each new WMP comes out it just adds newer DRM (restrictions). Just my point of view on it.
