+John. Subscriber¹ Posted May 13, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted May 13, 2006 So is this the final version or still a Beta? I don't wanna download and install 23MB of Beta then have to download the official release again in a few days. Leaked Beta. I suggest you wait till wednesday to download the proper version, unless you can't wait Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/460361-windows-media-player-11/page/6/#findComment-587503292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy0 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It looks and works like a charm - personally I don't mind downloading the official release when it comes. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/460361-windows-media-player-11/page/6/#findComment-587503310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It's SO amazing. I mean, it's clean, fast, and it only takes some minutes to get used to it!! Memory usage is 15-18 mb when open / minmized, and 8-10mb when the miniplayer is on the taskbar. :D I have MCE2005, I hope it doesn't break anything. My windows is english MCE with spanish mui (it came that way from dell...) so I'm afraid to screw things up, lol.

zeroday Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 just installed it :D got an error the first time, but after restart worked fine. does anybody know how to stop it from staying on top of everything. :blink: Fully black player and then white playlist. What the heck? you can change the colour in the colour chooser under enhancements.

Ambroos Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 With me when using a livestream it's using 3% CPU on my P3 1401Mhz, but (yest there is a but) it uses 55 megs of Virtual Memory. Quite smart! What you don't need, just put it in the slow memory to have more free fast memory :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/460361-windows-media-player-11/page/6/#findComment-587503437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorX Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 For some reason WMP's CPU Usage is around 50-95% on my computer :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/460361-windows-media-player-11/page/6/#findComment-587503453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niktheguru Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The official release in a few days is going to be a "public preview" of WMP11 and not the full release. So its likely it'll be this beta build or a slightly updated version. Don't expect final until a months time. I'm surprised that this beta has stayed out of leaked hands as long as it has.....

Ambroos Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 When you click on the sound bars below left you can switch between three looks. The sound analyzer, mini album view and the old WMP9 bar with the moving arrows.

ViperAFK Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 being very stable for me, and uses little ram, the only prblem is the cpu jumps up to 60 percent occasionally.

Dunno where you got your version from mine says Run first.exe and Run second.exe.

Jexel Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 um I'm guessing a later build will just install itself over the old one just like it does before.

It doesn't work with IE7 beta this way, you have to uninstall everytime you install new build..
