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: :

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
