wm10 (beta)

Just downloaded the lastest rendition of the Windows media player series, and its pretty good:



As the title says, its still beta, but its looking pretty good. Anyone else got it?

For anyone whoes currious, it can be downloaded form here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx

(You need to be running XP to use it)

EDIT: sorry, didn't mean to make this a poll, clicked on the wrong button

I wanna vote! Make one option we can vote for :smile:

Personally the only time I ever use media player is using an old version (6.4) to watch movies. I can't stand the big blue borders and the way it is a non standard-looking application, but for some reason they decided to put it in a standard windows window... if that makes sense at all.

Good to see somebody else with firefox installed :smile:

i got firefox .9 installed scary jeff

Yeah, make it a poll:

Do you like WiMP 10 ? *

• No
• Perhaps (Oooh!! Look at all the blue!!!1one)
• Maybe (Microsoft owns my soul)
• Yes (I'm Retarded)

*This is humour. No animals and/or forum posters were intentionally harmed during the making of this post.

ok, i'll change it

I completely agree with Jeff on this one... The make a contoured window theme, and throw it in a standard window theme. It just makes it look like theres a few different taskbars at the top, but all the buttons seem to do the same thing. It's obnoxious.

Oh, and does anyone have a decent theme for Firefox? I'm using Modern Gray right now, and like it, but was looking for something a bit more blue-ish.

Noia 2.0 eXtreme (should be able to find it on the firefox themes site) tabs
are blue when selected parts of the scrollbar are blue the back and
forward buttons are blue the loading bar is blue main (bg of
everything) colour is ... ... ... grey :razz:

Ooh, nice. Thanks Rumple.

ACH! The Darkness!

I have 98, so I can't download that s**t, nor can they pop up saying "DIABLO ORDERS YOU TO DOWNLOAD SP2!"

I might download it eventually, but for the time being I'm a Winamp man...

You do realize you can easily turn off all notifications, right?

Basically, I don't want it since its an 'interface'. I'll download the codec sometime if I need it, but other then that it can goto hell.

Winamp pwns WMP.

matt ur only 1 who voted for yes
(no offense)

I want a media player which can randomly play songs from your whole library, but weight how often they are played by a rating you give.

i wish i had something like that

I should show you my WMP, it's very minimalist. I actually have a total of 4 quick launches...and they're paired IE/WMP/Firefox/WinAmp.

I've never used WMP really, and no new versions can really tempt me. Winamp 5 does everything I'm looking for, and I'm quite liking their media library thing even though I used to hate those things.

My portable MP3 CD player does something along those lines, Maze. Basically, whenever you skip a song when it's on random mode, it gives that song a lower weight so it comes up less. It's simple, but it works pretty damn well.

winamp for audio all the way

BsPlayer for video all the way

Errr, does it matter? Typically they are used interchangably, if there is meant to be a difference its news to me.
