Windows Media Player 11?

Question

Windows Media Player 11 is the most recent version. What is your opinon? Do you like it? Do you prefer different player eg Real Player?

Answer 1

Hi ,media player 11 is a better player in my opinion..you can still play web based radio stations it just brings you to a different page and is a bit harder to find..some sites require that real player is installed to play them.. dont like real player much but it has its uses but when you gotta use it you gotta use it..for using active sync its good ...i found in media player 11 that on some of the visualisations it has a little bug that slows them down but that really ain't a problem if you dont sit there looking at them..still works fine though..

Answer 2

I really like Media PLayer 11. I have no problems with it.

Answer 3

I have it but it is too slow for me so I rarely use it. Cool colours though. I have my music on I-TUNES. It is much faster. So far I`ve been able to upload all but 3songs. I guess because of copyright laws or something. All 3 were Pink Floyd tunes. It kinda sucks because they are MY cds. Bought and paid for. Once it was unable to decide what was on the disc and gave me 2 choices. Obviously I chose what I paid for. I also have NERO which appearently will not reject anything. Now my only problem is space on my PC. I am full and have only uploaded 25% of my cds. Winows Media Player is WAY TOO SLOW!!

Microsoft has just released an compulsory update to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Validation Tool that makes most of the workarounds, hacks, patches and cracks to bypass and skip the WGA validation check useless. Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool was introduced by Microsoft beginning from second half of 2005, where the tool will check and validate your system’s Windows XP whether it is licensed, certified as authentic, and published and supported by Microsoft, before you can obtain programs from the Microsoft Download Center or receive software updates from Windows Update. With the new WGA update, it is now impossible to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage validation check by disabling or turning off WGA Validation Tool in Manage Add-Ons in Internet Explorer. The Enable and Disable settings for WGA Validation Tool no longer selectable, with the option greyed out so that you unable to select Disable to deactivate the WGA ActiveX. Kalra
