The Windows Media Player 11 is still one of my favourites although I'm slowly moving towards the DivX direction. It will stay on my Windows XP for now until they come out with a patch that can remove it.Microsoft is planning a Public Preview Beta of Windows Media Player 11 for XP on Wednesday, May 17th. The final RTM release is scheduled for late June 06 (I will try this week to get a date).
Features in Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 11) for Windows XP (June 06):
* New UI
* Support for better synchronization for portable devices
* Album “stacks” of album art
* Indexed libraries with search-as-you-type features
* User controlled downgrade of quality for DRM content to allow for smaller files
* DRM content will contain metadata that shows what the user is allowed to do with the file
* Includes Microsoft and MTV’s Urge music store
