  Pros

  Cons

  I have No idea. On my windows 7 32 bit I have a version of wmp,But it says "Connect a burner and restart the player",which means that I Cant burn my music to blank cd's as I Want it to...... It Dosn't say that in a 'pop-up'it says it Permantly in the top right hand side of wmp,after you click on the 'burn' tab.... :( - I Dont know how to rectify it...

  Summary

  I Dont know what to do. I would appreciate some help on the matter from someone who knows how to fix it............. :)

  Pros

  Good sound quality, Neat layout, automatic album art database.

  Cons

  EQ is far to basic, does not support enough music formats,works only with flash drive, doesn't run that well with Windows 7

  Summary

  An out of date media player that is in serious need of some revamping work by Microsoft. I think they need to listen to there users & give them what they need because a vast amount of PC lovers are getting board of a lot of there software theses day's with media player being the main one.

• good looking effective player

• C R A P of a program with XP PRO 64-bit OS

  tulliousbentonSeptember 15, 2009

  Pros

  NONE when working with XP Professional 64-bit. Can't fully uninstall and reinstall. I had our IT Tech install, uninstall, update, etc. and still have problems listening, ripping music from a CD. It cannot reconize a sinple CD.

  Cons

  Attaches .cda file extension the player can't read. Vista Prem. 64-bit (home) will play, rip, etc. Its not the computer's fault (high end rack mount ($$$) at work). Only works with flash drive and WMA, MP3, MP4- no CD???? Frustrating...

  Summary

  There are no avenues in Microsoft's website to even ask a question via email and the FAQ site is a BIG waste of time. When is MS going to actually use their software in the REAL world and amke it easier for the common slugs in the population to use and correct these problems.

• Remember to DOWNLOAD the Audio and Video CODECS
