Microsoft has today made available the latest beta version of Windows Media Player, version 11.

WMP11 sports an improved UI, better performance and improved library features. The subscription based service, URGE, is intergrated into the client and offers quick and easy downloads of the latest tunes for $14.95 per month.

URGE is currently being offered as a 14 day trial for a limited period.

Microsoft hopes to attract more people into using WMP11 by offering additional features in the Vista client such as Media Center intergration.

Download the Beta version from this link:

*download.microsoft.com/download/e/...b770-ddb34a9c8f45/wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe

And it does require validation. So guys who don't have genuine windows, better follow the RapidShare link.

Common sense!! When you open that file with WinRAR, you will find the password on the right side. It is not mentioned that it is the password but IT IS. However, it won't work if you copy and paste it, you have to type it out without CAPS LOCK on. It's pretty simple actually.
BTW, I don't remember what it was but I think the password is 'www.warezforum.com' without the quotes (or maybe it was 'www.warez.com'). I am not too sure. Follow the instructions above to verify it yourself. :)

BTW, even the leaked version requires validation so people who don't have genuine windows will either have to keep using WMP 10 (which is quite good in itself) or figure out illegal ways to install WMP 11 Beta. Don't expect me to help you in that department, PLEASE!

Hey saransh, I answered both your questions in the post above yours.
And try editing your post when you want to make an addition instead of posting another. :)
