Windows Media Player 11 - mini review

May 24th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Whoa… I shouldn’t have downloaded Windows Media Player 11.

IT ROCKS! and I’m having WAY too much fun playing music with it. I still have TONS of things to do and I’m looking at album art……. aarrrgggghhhhh!

If you use Windows Media Player already… this is a MUST HAVE UPGRADE. If you don’t use it already… you’ll likely want to switch unless you have something else you need to use or have highly customized how you like it.

If you have an iPod… you’ll want to keep using iTunes as the iPod has limited file formats… but if you use iTunes for something other than an iPod… you’ll like WMP 11 more. Give it a try.

I’m not a big Microsoft fan at all… but I’ve got to give the WMP 11 team A TON of props for this release. It is seriously great.

Here’s a link to download it… and a few reviews which go into more depth than my brief review here… mostly consisting of “IT ROCKS!”

PS. It even works with the latest last.fm audioscrobbler plugin for WMP!
