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.

i guess u've figured out the drag n drop thing plus it cache ur album art in the library so its okay if u accidentally delete the original file, but what i like about the album art is that when u only have one album for one particular artist, it will only display the single album in square. but when u have 10 albums for one artist, the album stack kinda align itself in a spiral way with all the other 9 album art on top of each other. same goes when u sort by artist, genre or rating. man.. this player is sweet.

The only problem I have with WMP11 is how you can't fuse two albums together like you can with previous reasons. The UI for the library looks cleaner and better though some of the capabilties are limited and that aggrovates me. I have two entries for the same album and I can't seem to fuse them together. Pretty weird.

Whoa! Can anybody successfully play an AAC file and please tell us?

Yes, you can play AAC files in WMP by installing the proper codecs. However, you cannot play protected iTunes music.

Check out this guide, Inmatrix Decoder Guide, to quickly get other formats supported in WMP. Then to add library and tagging support go to WMP Tag Extender. That plugin can also be found Microsoft's official plugin page at wmplugins.com.

iTunes support is so close, you can play unprotected content, but not anything purchased off iTunes. There are ways to do it, but I believe most of them will be illegal.

URGE is hot stuff! You can watch LOADS of music video's (but in not-so-good quality). Just create an account, (Non-us people just use a ZIP like 10012 or just anything else) and select the pay by song option. When it asks you for your credit card info just hit "Skip" in the upper right corner. Go to library, hit URGE, hit songs, search something above (Black eyed peas as example) and hit the little video icon at the left of a song.

The full-screen button doesn't work with those video's. To view Video's in full screen press F11. Remember there's an ad before the video!

Only stupid thing is that Last.FM also notes the videos, even the ADS from VH1... as you see in my signature

The only problems I'm having are with files not updating when I change the id3 information in the advanced tag editor, and not being able to drag and drop albums. Other than these two (important IMO) functions being lost, it's a good update and the public one (if the aforementioned is changed) should be even better.

I never used album art until this version either.

EDIT: Forgot the 'remove from library' feature, that's missing too.

you probably did it on the ''i don't got a genuine windows'' way

just extract mpsetup.exe again and open wmp11.exe

when that's installed you can just open wmp11 :)

yeah i did, just testing on other computers that dont have it legit but its not working at all. i tried all of that :(

more errors :cry: :
