I have just upgraded to the Beta of WMP11.  I run several PCs and have all
my music on a Win Server 2003 share -- 1GB network.  I'm finding that the
Library of WMP 11 is much slower to access than on WMP10.  I have about 20k
songs in the directory.

When I select a song to play, and WMP 11 tries to play it, I get an error

I've pasted several cover arts for different albums, they show up fine in the
Library View, but in the Now Playing tab, when playing songs from the albums

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. Regards.

Hi, I have a web application that uses embedded Windows Media Player.
Graphical elements on the page are used to control the player rather

I have downloaded an English version of the Player, but I have lots of
