"This Programs is The Best Win Media PLayer Yet. Dwnld It Now"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
I like the plug ins the t vs and pictures :) rock on microsoft
-
"A big improvement"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
I like the new black look. I like that you can see album art. I like how the album information is near the art and not stretched out along with the other information in a single line. The layout is nice, especially the play, pause button being right in the middle, and very large.
The back and forward buttons are a nice touch as well.
Cons
Everything takes a few moments to figure out with the new layout.

"All round great product! Entirely Recommended!"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
Windows Media Player 11 is the greatest version yet. Especially its Windows Vista style interface. It is streamlined and has the same looks and buttons as Windows Vista. If is far easier to use and it has options to play, store and find music and videos and even to rip/burn CDs. MP11 has nice big buttons and new, streamlined features that make it far easier to play, pause, stop, FF & RW and skip scenes. It buffers instantly and just can't be beat. You can create custom playlists and save them in any order you like. All round great product. Entirely recommended. Even the icon is many times better and it opens and closes instantly.

"WOW"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
First, let me say that I WAS a big user of winamp and hated wmp. I got bored one day and decided to give wmp 11 beta a try. I loved it. winamp has many problems playing videos and that was making me very frustrated. WMP 11 is a lot sleaker than other versions and everyone I know has switched from winamp, realplayer, nero, and a few other programs to wmp 11 because microsoft finally did something right.
I recommend you give it a try.
Cons
The installation was a bit long, but everything eventually worked out.
Syncing media to an mp3 player is different. Songs go on a lot easier but its a bit confusing to delete them.

"Best Media Player Yet"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
Ive mostly used Winamp, but after downloading Media Player 11, I got rid of Winamp within a couple of hours.
Media Player 11 has a real cool design, and the Library features are the best Ive seen, adding Album Cover designs to the files in My Music in seconds.
The sound is phenomenal. I love it!!

"Great!"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
I had the beta of this product, and i loved it from the second i got it. The new black interface is the coolest interface i've seen (especially with the blue)
All of the videos in web pages that use media player are updated to this interface once u get it, and it is a huge improvement
I don't use media player for music, but it is great for storing and organizing my videos
Good Job Microsoft
Cons
None

"This is new? Had it since May/06!"
Version: Windows Media Player 11
Pros
Works pretty much as you would expect. No surprises.
Cons
Got excited to see a new WMP...until I realized that I have had WMP11 since way back in May. Why is it new? Unless the others were betas.
Still haven't figured out to this day where the open button is on the gui. I always go to the top and click File and Open, but where is the one-click button on the player itself??
