(I'm posting this to numerous Windows Media newsgroups--since, from
reviewing the existing posts in each group, it's not obvious to me what the
differences are.)
I'm having good success using the WMP11 beta to sync songs in my library to

First off, kudos to the WMP team... the revamped media library is a vast
improvement over previous iterations... now with this being a beta, I
believe no one is expecting it to be perfect, and since you guys decided to
release it to the public in beta form, I guess you would like ...

I've tried to install URGE for WMP11 several times.  Each time the system
downloads the files and begins the install process.  Eventually setup will
just disappear.  If I look in the Windows Application Log, I see the
following error message:

I downloaded the WMP11 beta and installed it.  I happened to have my Ipod
Nano connected to my computer at the time charging.
When I ran WMP 11 it actually recognized it!!!! along with the capacity
available and seemed to offer syncing options.

I receive the audio portion of a video with no problems, but the screen
remains green.

Just installed WMP 10. All voices are now on helium and all music up-pitched
in all formats including the "Microsoft sound" on startup.
Followed all instructions posted at Microsoft online tech support. Nothing
has worked. Even tried disabling all but one codec and still no change ...

I just got a new PC with WinXP home edition and WMP10 pre-installed.
I moved all my (pre-made) MP3s to the C drive just to get them in one
place, and WMP found them and made a library (I'm not sure I asked it to,
but ok).

In WMP 10, the toolbar version (when it was minimized) enabled you to click
the logo to "restore" the application. I see in the beta of WMP 11, this
functionality is missing - the only method to restor is clicking the teeny
tiny bottom-right square. Formany users (even me) this ...

After seeing Internet Explorer 7's interface, Office 2007's first Beta, and
the new look of MSN Messenger Beta, I must say that I am extremely
disappointed in WMP11's new look.  I know this is a beta, but I certainly
expected to see something a little more Vista-like.  The layout ...

Just wondering if there is a way to completely disable and remove the tab for
CD ripping in Windows Media Player 10?

Previous releases of media player had a "play all"  feature.  WMP11 does not
seem to provide this feature.  Is the "Play All" feature really missing or
just hidden in some non-obvious menu somewhere?
As a workaround, I guess one can create a "play all" playlist, but that

I have just downloaded wmp11 but prefer wmp10, I understand it is currently
in the beta stages but there are some drawbacks i myself have found and i'm
not sure if anyone else has the same opinions.  
1) It has become far too album orientated.  Ie it pursists in sorting by

The download site states that WMP11 works with all versions of XP, I have
the 64-bit version, am I precluded from trying it out? BTW the download site
identifies my machine as 'Windows 2003 Server' so I cannot download it
anyways.

Why can't I get rid of the anoying Album Art and the buy button above my
playlist. I don't want to buy music I already bought!!! I just want a
playlist, because I have my Album Art already in the visualisation screen.
And where is the option to 'use black as the default color'?!

Are there any codecs/plugins to allow Windows Media Player to play Apple
Lossless format files?
This is pretty much the only major format I have not seen a WMP solution for
and WMP is pretty much the only major player that cannot play them (unless
