Grahm Skee vs. Windows Media Player 11: FIGHT!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Talk" @ 01:30 PM
"Let’s face it, Windows Media Player is a dog- its slow, fails to play anything outside of a few major codecs, and it fails to extend its usefulness to portable devices. Microsoft’s own Zune media player even outperforms WMP in many aspects, only failing at more of the hardcore features such as library organization and tag editing. Ditching the WMP code and building on top of the Zune software or opening the Zune software up to all all MP3 players would be an ideal approach, but I doubt either will happen. So instead here are 3 extremely critical aspects WMP need in order to be a viable media player for the masses."
Grahm Skee from anythingbutipod hits upon some very critical points on what's wrong with Windows Media Player 11. The title of his post is a bit peculiar, because Windows Media Player is certainly a mainstream application (anything that ships with Windows qualifies for that title), but he's dead on with the problems that Windows Media Player 11 has. After the break you'll find my quickly-brainstormed list of what needs fixing.
