My only complaint so far: Those new icons are cool but I don't like how they stole my associations, even though I specifically set it to NOT do so. So now all my mp3's are associated with WMP and Windows Explorer shows the new mp3 icon. I don't want that. I want my mp3's associated with Winamp and the Winamp icon that I chose. Why do programs insist on stealing associations?

I personally wrote almost all of the association code here. I will follow up with a PM here: I imagine you ran through it in Express mode, which as it says will "Make Windows Media Player the default music and video player...". If that is *not* the case, I would be extremely utterly interested in fixing your issue, as I have zero interest in 'stealing' associations ever. Please check your PMs: let's follow up on this.

Exactly the same here. I wonder why this build has issues.

Why the hell they remove the support for compressed tag? It makes all most all mp3 files unplayable and ID3 tag in WMP Library becomes crap.

It is a suicide. iTunes and other music players will win if they continue to do so. :no:

I have been complaining about this issue on their forum a lot. Not sure what will happen. I really love the "Browsing Album Art" features. If it is not because of that, I don't even want to use WMP.

If you want to provide a link to a sample piece of afflicted content, that's more interesting. There's ton of different tagging utilities out there that do all sorts of strange things. It'd be good to understand what's either wrong with WMP or the content that causes this badness.

BUG since WMP v11 beta 1:

I cannot type Unicode characters (Chinese in my case) into ID3 tags of MP3 files via Windows Explorer's file properties dialog anymore. After saving and re-open the file properties dialog, the Unicode fields will turn up blank. It didn't happen before I had WMP11 installed. Note that this only affects MP3 files (and possibly others but I haven't try). For WMA files it works just fine. How annoying!

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Shun Tao · Posted

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.
