    "Crap. (please enter 10 characters minimum) Crap x 10!"

    November 22, 2012  |   By sodaphine

    Pros

    Ummm....
    Give me some time. I might think of something...

    Cons

    - when any file properties are changed or a file is moved, WMP corrupts itself and those files will neither play, or be deleted. Had to rename track titles in order to delete in order to re-import
    - corrupted composer info on re-import(inserting artists not even found anywhere in my house let alone on my system - wow!)
    - Doesn't recognise file properties on the stuff it didn't corrupt and left me with crap all over the place that I had to manually waste a morning putting in the right places.
    - went to synce some albums across to my mp3. Although the feature to tell you how much space is left on your device is there, and "appears" active, it simply doesn't work.
    - If I actually bother to try to attempt anything else in this crap program, I believe the chance of it failing are significantly high.

    Summary

    This program is totally unstable and full of bugs. I'm really astounded they actually released this rot with their name on it...

    (why am I surprised...?)

    Highly recommend not to go here. WMP was always buggy, but it appears they are making a big effort to make it more so. Can't imagine what they are trying to achieve.

    Going to download a new player. Can't stand this rubbish.
