Well, I've installed it myself, and I find it's a vast improvement over WMP 10. But I do agree that it does need some cleaning up, for example the vast repition of menus, though there is this one thing that is bothering me, I can no longer drag-and-drop albums to combine them. I miss that from WMP10. :(

u can still combine them. explore the changes slowly.

Please don't complain over illegaly downloaded software. When the Beta is out you can report comments/bugs.

Agreed, as I've said, I prefer to wait until Microsoft releases the official version ;) . I value my computer too much to risk installing untested software :shifty: .

see I never gotten the whole album cover thing? really do most people even care?? I certiantly don't and I think it's very annoying!!!

why are they so centric on it when not many people care. No one I know does. And it's just another way to bog down the interface when we really need a faster player that plays movies and music more reliably and can orangize 600 hours of music easy and fast, and not worry about loading some 300+ album images along with a whole drive view.

and new visuals!!! the current set is old now and they need to compete with wimamp on that one!

I like Album Art, if you don't like it then don't use it, it's as simple as that. Your argument states that you don't like WMP 11 so best thing you can do is stay away from it. You'll live longer that way :rolleyes: . As for me and many people on this thread, WMP 11 is more than just a pretty face and album art display, it's a whole restructuring of the search and management system of the library, where the information is displayed differently than iTunes, which is text based. If you don't like it, stick with Winamp or go and send an email to Microsoft about your complaints instead of complaining on this thread.

has anyone figured out how to add your own album art yet? im either dumb or not seeing it. i mean some of my albums have it done automatically but them some dont.

Yeah, where it says paste album art...do it. Find a cover off the internet, (save it onto your HD if you want), and drag it onto the album.

Just installed WMP11 Beta on my machine...I was happy with WMP10 and was very sceptical about WMP11 from all the screenshots I've seen...but after playing around with it, damn it rocks :) I find the UI very clean and relatively easy to use and I really like the new way it organises your music :happy: MS have done a good job with it (Y)

EDIT: I noticed you can view your pictures in it too, has WMP always been able todo that or is it new to WMP11?

yeah im just dumb....lol actually you can drag and drop directly off of the web page. so Amazon is priiime for this.

WMP 11 looks soooo much better than 10 does, damn.

And now that it's available, it is worth every minute of wait. It is one awsome animal.. Oh it's out there alright but obviously I am not allowed to post any reference to links so just go surfing for soft and enjoy it if you find it.. By the way, I'm referring to the XP version....

:whistle:

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
