If you want urge you need to set your regional settings all to US (Location, Language, Currency and Internet Options languages). After you did that restart your pc, open WMP, and click the arrow below the "online services" tab and click "Browse all online stores" and select URGE.

If you have URGE just click "Log in" (upper right corner of WMP) and register (for non-US people: use a random zip like 10012), select the pay by song plan, and skip the credit card data. Go to library, click urge (left pane) and search for a song. Loads of music video's!!!

You can't play video's in full screen with the standard butten, just press F11 and it will work!

anyone know how to make it organize your music folder? Also how do i drag album art on the album art on it? Is there any easy way to download all the album art at one time?

Also has anyone gotten this to work with their ipod? It sees my iPod but i can't figure out how to make it sync all my songs, and not just the playlist i have

I bit the bullet and installed it. It's awesome! :D I just had to do a little work on my Library with album art and organization, took some time but looks good.

I love it more then WMP10, looks cooler and opens faster on my 1.67ghz Hp :p

Love it, if Vista is actually this good, it's gonna be awesome.

But I've got 2 minor problems, both with the same thing:-

1. Where the hell is the playlist on full screen mode?

2. Where's the option to disable the video resizing on full screen mode? TweakMP was the best thing in the world, and now it doesn't work!

o.O That would be amazing if it did!

Too bad. WMP11 doesn't support AAC. The screenshot must be fake.

WMP11 still misreads id3tags. I wonder why the same album is listed FOUR times in the Library. These files are perfectly id3tag edited in iTunes.

Cool, everything is so seamless, URGE is nicely integrated into the interface. Anyone know if its iPod compatible? Only thing it needs now is RSS support.

When I plug my iPod in, it recognises it as an iPod, and shows in in the sync section. I'm not sure if it just copies the music on to the iPod as data or weather it acctually adds the files to the iPod database.

Its recognises the device for me too but unfortunately it syncs the files to "#:\music" so the iPod won't pick up on the files as they are not in the correct folder and are not organised and named in such a way which the iPod will recognise. Just need to hope that the WMP will include iPod support or else we'll need a plug-in, I own an iPod but i'm forced to use itunes which I don't like.

Anyone else have a problem where it won't connect to the internet at all. The Work Offline option isn't checked, and the box that says to connect is checked, but it still won't. It's also allowed under Windows OneCare Live, so I'm not sure what's blocking it.

Any thoughts?

Someone will probably need to write a plug-in as I think I read somewhere MS decided against putting iPod support in.

Right Click the taskbar----Toolbars---Windows Media Player

When you minimize the player it "should" have the player thing on the taskbar

If so unzip the file named 'mpxptray' and drop it into X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Note X is your windows drive letter.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
