Hi

The problem is that there is no quick launch menu near the now playing butten. It used to be there till 10th version. Also the playlist in the library is not the same as that is in now playing. There is no indication of total time and song length in the playlist. Otherwise it's great.

Winamp is simply best for music ... though I use WMP 11b + K-Lite fo Vidz.

WMP11 + K-lite codec pack is just awesome. No other player needed since it even plays quicktime files in WMP. But WMP11 sometimes shows 100% cpu usage on my comp. Probably a bug as its still beta.

hi all, though the media library is indeed slow, but the information usage is excellent...
Very good organised, but little dull , make it good looiking and you have simply the best..
was using itunes before and now i have uninstalled it ...
very good player...
9/10, since in beta only, lot can be improver... though i dont clearly know..
sound quality experience is not so great as i had when using iTunes.. but good nevertheless

Just right click in the space right to 'now playing' and everything is there. Or you can use ctrl+m.
Great softy. No comparison.

it wont install unless you did something to your copy or to the installer. Dont be proud of not owning stuff.

WMP11 is great, I like the library its efficient.
