Media Player 10 beta

[linthat22]

Anyone download it yet? And if so, what are your thoughts on stability and overall presentation?

What's new? Hopefully not more DRM crap.

Build 3473 runs quite well for me. I've been using it for awhile now and no real problems, just a few minor glitches. I also like it's new UI much better.

Ummm, the UI does look nicer - thanks for the shots.

I generally like WMP as it's a good all-in-one player with nice categorisation and is easily extensible with codecs. I'm not too bothered about skins and stuff so long as it plays files well. I just hope, though, that M$ don't do what they did with Word and take a good product and keep adding features for the sake of it, until it becomes bloated and slow. Already MWP is a memory hog, but as I've a gig of RAM I don't mind. However, they better keep startup time quick and not keep pressing DRM and the WMV format.

Oh great, it nearly looks like Media Player Classic again (which only took them 3 iterations).

I'd love to have that "theme" for the whole desktop. Is there a way to do that? And i'd love to have Mac's UI.......... i'm sure there's a way......

tons of themes out there, and "dock like" programs, specially for this purpose.

What, something like this? There are tons of apple visual styles out there, you just need to patch uxtheme.dll to allow for unofficial themes.

I'm specifically looking for the Mac one......... I know it's blasphemy... but someone must have done it..

Wow, they keep making it uglier and uglier with every release. The one that comes with Windows ME(Don't know the version number.) is the best looking one, IMO.

Does anyone actually use WMP anymore?

[I.S.T.]

I use it for videos. *Fires.*

*LB is turned the other way, looking at himself in the mirror, he broke a nail*
*LB sees IST in the mirror*
*IST fires LB*
*LB jumps on the right, breaks another nail and starts screaming*
*Laser hits mirror, gets reflected, and IST can't even feel the laser cutting through his brain, drops dead*

LB KILLED IST!

I don't find anything wrong with it, in fact I think it's pretty good. Definitely better then Quicktime and Real. Though I use winamp for music.

*IST grabs the "Cannot miss/be deflected" gun and fires at l-b. The round suddenly turns around and shoots in IST's direction. It goes through his heart and kills him.*

*IST revives, he now has 6 lives.*
