Windows Media Player 11

Postby dada on Thu Aug 03, 2006 11:58 am

I've been using it just recently and I really like the design and overall feel of it so far. Just wondering what impressions other have of it so far. Improvement? Utter shite? Have your say. I really just like the skin. :P

I think it's an unnecessary upgrade and can be a little tough to get used to. If it aint broke..don't fix it. Windows media player 10 is the best in series and i recommend everyone stick to that for as long as possible.

I really taste the style. The only thing I don't like about WMP is that it still doesn't play all the video formats.

I only use Windows Media Player to play WMV's that are encoded with a format not supported by BSPlayer. For the rest I always use BSPlayer: I like it because the "player" and the "screen" aren't merged like WMP; because it uses less RAM than WMP and also because I have the possibility to mount subtitles to every movie/video I see.
To play MP3/Audio files I use iTunes, so I really don't use WMP but I really like the skin.

Never heard of BSPlayer. I googled it up and it looks pretty cool so I'll give it a run then post some feedback. (y)

@BSPlayer

Tried it, didnt like it much visually. I guess everything else is fine but the looks arent where I''d like it. I'm very nitpicky I know. :oops:

I've always thought WMP was a great program, but I still prefer iTunes. Both are memory hogs, but iTunes obiously gets the nod since I do have an ipod... but if I didn't I'd probably go with WMP.

Duh, it's a dual media player - both video and audio. You can either be troubled to download the codec for each type of file, or download DivX player (like me).

Yeah this design is really good especially if you have a Vista theme to go with it... But I'm having trouble with it now since there isn't the traditional menu bar on top anymore :(

I was still using a skin of the interface of WMP11 on WMP10, didn't know it was released already. Thanks for the heads up. (Y)

Had it for a while. It's a nice design, I think it's a reflection of Windows Vista that's to come.

I'd say he's going for the three classifications: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. ;)

I'm still using WMP 10, it suits me fine.

Actually the WOW is there on previous versions already, I guess you just missed it. :P
Btw, does anybody have problem with its loading time? It seems to take longer time to play a video than the older WMP10... Also seems to take up more RAM.
