Looks like the new WMP will be released for XP in June.

Updated UI
Reverse Sync (the ability to take files from your mp3 player and put them on your PC)
Tight integration with the MS/MTV [Urge](http://www.urge.com/) music download service
But still no real integration with the iPod… Stinking bloody FairPlay :deranged:

That’s good. I’ve really gotten used to the nicer library features and massive speed bump while organizing files in WMP11 for Vista 🙂
I wonder if there will be an update to the Windows Media Encoder. It is still from the version 9 era.

The only thing I still use Windows Media Player for is streaming video… I use iTunes for music and Media Player Classic for video now.
Of course, WMP10 is collapsing on me… it never worked in Firefox and now it’s beginning to refuse to work in IE, too, it just gives me a bunch of broken controls along the top of the frame it’s supposed to reside in and no content.

Yeah, they stil ldon’t have WMP10 for Mac. ☹
Flip4Mac doesn’t support it either, I don’t think.

WMP for Mac is an absolute joke. Ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, that’s why they have Flip4Mac. It is WMP in Quicktime… 😉

Except they don’t play those silly proprietary Microsoft files like wma and asx.
For me it’s iTunes + Media Player Classic \> WMP

Winamp plays WMA. Not sure if videoLan does asf, though.
