Media/Music Player Rundown - Windows Media Player 11


Windows Media Player 11 is without a doubt a beautiful, well-endowed player. This is the one I use above all others.

Why? Because it does the one thing other media players don't: makes perfect rips of my CDs. It always makes perfect copies time and again. I don't use an iPod, so there's no need for iTunes. I don't care for music stores and I'm not picky about organizing my music or playlists. However, if you are, Windows Media Player 11 does a damn fine job of doing so. My only real problem is that it takes way too long to load up when playing video off the internet.

It's sleek, fine, does everything you need it to (unless you own an iPod) and gives you a glimpse at what Windows Vista has in store.

Ive tried other media players and i do agree that wmp 11 is very nice.
the way to alleviate the slow start up time when playing a file from the internet, is too use the wmp plugin for your browser (assuming youre on firefox).
this way the file opens in a basic wmp player that loads nearly instantly. You wont get all the tweaks you get with wmp11 but thats a price to pay.
