  Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows Media Player 10 Review
WMP 10 is also the center of Microsoft's digital media strategy, which seeks to holistically approach consumer requirements for acquiring, consuming, and sharing digital media.
And sure enough, like WMP 10, RealPlayer gets bogged down in options, though the presentation is largely is arguably more attractive, with pastel colors and none of the tree view nonsense that Microsoft is so fond of for some reason (Figure).
Well, in WMP 10 the wait is finally over, though it has sort of a anticlimactic ring to it: You can now rip music to MP3 format from WMP 10 directly, without needing an add-on (Figure).

 Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows Media Player 11 Review
WMP 11, finally, drops the monotonous blue user interface that has dogged the previous three versions and adopts a cleaner, more professional looking fl fascia (Figure).
WMP 11 has another Vista-ism, a set of new playback controls that reside in the middle bottom of the WMP 11 application window.
In WMP 11, however, the view is far more graphical (Figure) with album art representations of most of the main library view styles, including Artist, Album, Songs, Genre, and Year.

 MP3.com: MP3 Insider: Ten reasons to love WMP 11
So far, the infant do-it-all jukebox is not without its faults, which includes no built-in networking for WMP 11 and some bugginess (it is, after all, in beta mode), but I am impressed with the combined effort--one that offers hope to the many pieces of the Windows Media universe.
WMP 10 included access to Napster, Rhapsody, and other content sources within the jukebox itself, but the experience was fragmented, buggy, and poorly branded.
WMP 11 is awesome, a definite improvement over the older versions, and enough to scare apple's iTunes.

WMP 11 for Windows XP is at its core the same jukebox you'll experience for the upcoming (but tardy) Vista OS.
WMP 11's interface is graphically intense, with stacked album art for artists who have more than one LP in your library.

 CAn WMP 10 handle .flac or.shn formats?
I cannot find a plugin which enables WMP 10 to play or convert these files to mp3 or wma formats.This is a limitation which is making WMP 10 largely irrelevant for me since I must use other applications to play the music files I acquire or to convert them to mp3 or wma.
If there's a codec, then WMP should play them, and you should be able to transcode them (WMP won't transcode because that's not what WMP does (except for transcoding to PCM before burning to CD), but it shouldnt be too hard to write something that does transcode).
WMP is a latent application on my pc, but i am happy to give it some disc space to be.

A version of WMP is included with most Windows installations and the WMP plugin files that are needed for certain web page content are normally included.

 Print - Who's in Control When You Use WMP 9?
WMP 9 is available for all versions of the Windows OS from Windows 98 Second Edition (Win98SE) forward.
One reason that Microsoft introduced WMP 9 was that the company is working with digital media-content providers (movie- and TV-content makers) on a system to protect copyrighted material and to provide a comprehensive digital-rights management (DRM) solution for this protected media.
WMP 9 won't save file or URL histories (which would indicate what media you've been using) unless you explicitly turn that function on.

 Microsoft Issues Public WMP10 Beta [UPDATED]
Second, WMP 10 features a new "Live in the Library" theme, in which you can complete all the most important tasks from directly within the Media Library, ala Apple Computer's iTunes, so you don't have to switch from mode to mode to do things such as burn CDs or rip music.
Finally, WMP 10 is designed to autosynch with a new generation of smart portable devices, most of which aren't on the market yet but will be by the time the product ships this fall.
WMP 10 also lets these services integrate more seamlessly with the player, so when you're running the next-generation Napster client plug-in, which will ship later this summer, the plug-in will make WMP 10 more Napster-like, with Napster-specific navigation bar buttons.

 Serious privacy problems in Windows Media Player for Windows XP
A number of design choices were made in WMP which allow Microsoft to individually track what DVD movies consumers are watching on their Windows PC.
As of Feb. 14, 2002, the Microsoft privacy policy for WMP version 8 does not disclose that the fact that WMP "phones home" to get DVD title information, what kind of tracking Microsoft does of which movies consumers are watching, and how cookies are used by the WMP software and the Microsoft servers.
WMP extracted movie information from this file and then added this information to a database file, named wmplibrary_v_0_12.db, which is located on my hard disk in the directory " C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index".

 Pocket WMP (Windows Media Player)
An unexpected bonus was discovering that when she began a WMP session using that start menu music folder, the folder remained open in the background, so, tapping the "X" in WMP put the player in the background and would bring her directly back to the music folder.
WMP playlists are, unfortunately, binary and can't be manually edited, but it can save playlists in several other formats including the.asx format which are stored as text files and recognized by the mobile WMP.
The task of "preloading" with my wife's CD collection very quickly illuminated the fact that WMP's "Sync" process is designed with small (1 Gig or lower) capacity devices where the user will be loading a playlist, then completely replacing it with a new playlist on the next sync.

so its like WMP uses a lot more when I use it on the other connected screen (I have laptop), but on the other screen the resolution is much lower....
Resolution will definitely be a factor in CPU usage for WMP as well since it has to render more in detail with high resolutions.

If WMP is supposed to be Microsoft's showcase for Mac users, why can't they at least make it so it doesn't crash all the time?
There's no such thing as a WMP 10 codec, so unless Microsoft invents one, my bet is that TeleStream won't be making one either.
Better yet, they could have done it sooner, retiring WMP for Mac at the same time as the recent "formal" (but anticipated) termination of IE for Mac and before the Office announcement, thus going into 2006 with a wholly positive spin.
