Boo.

Has some nice features but god dammit, if it's not going to add all the albums to the library [a fault with MP10 awell] then it's no bloody good. fs.

It only added 1/2 my music to the library despite having each genre folder added to be synched.

Look nice tho

Looks nice enough alright but I think MS will have a hard time going against iTunes...especially due to the popularity of iPods and the fact that macs are getting more popular imho

Just installed it have to say its nice to see a change from the past 10 versions of mp takes a bit of getting used to but i mean thats natural i like it anyways

Much nicer GUI this time, last 10 versions have been so bland.
Haven't had much of a chance to play around with the functionality of it, sure all I want is for it to play MP3's and DivX, etc,

It's definite thumbs up for the look and feel anyway!

I don't like it due to the lack of Media Guide. I want to uninstall it and re-install Media Player 10, but I can't seem to figure out how. Does anybody know how?

If you go to "Add/Remove Programs" and click the "Check for Updates" box, it shows up as an XP Update. Click "Remove" and it will roll you back to WMP10.

Thanks, you're a legend!

Will the same rollback thing work for going back from Internet Explorer 7 Beta to Internet Explorer 6?

Bleh, I still prefer winamp 2.x ... oh so many plugins.
Who cares what it looks like anyway, I just want something with a low footprint to play my music and stay out of my way.
And with next/previous/play/pause bound to extra buttons on my mouse, I don't even have to open the interface most of the time.
Spiffing.
