  Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows Media Player 10 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
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.
Windows Media Player 7 (WMP, see my review) grew out of that user experience effort, providing a Web- like interface that aggregated a slew of common digital media tasks--media management, CD playing and ripping, Internet radio playback, portable device support, and the like--into a single place.
As I noted in my review, Windows Media Player 9 Series offered an amazing array of functionality, but was complicated as a result, with a UI that was festooned with a bizarre number of inscrutable buttons.

If the problem is not resolved, installing the Windows Media Player Plug-in for Netscape Navigator (available here) should work [1] but the included files are older versions.
Sometimes when you hit play on a player without a status bar, it seems like nothing happens - in fact, the player is probably just downloading enough of the file to start playing it (buffering) and if you give it a moment, it will start.

 WMP Mini-FAQ: A trouble-shooting guide for Windows Media Player problems.
In WMP's case, downloading the WMP installer and running the WMP7 (or newer) install on *top* of an existing install and choosing Reinstall All is the single best trouble-shooting method for WMP.
