Windows Media Player 11 description
Windows Media Player - Play video and audio clips on your Windows PC

Windows Media Player is the multimedia software application developedby Microsoft that provides users with the ability to view multimediacontent, both from their hard drive and from the Internet.

Windows Media Player 10 gives you more music and more choices, and forthe first time makes it possible to sync high-quality music, video, andphotos to the latest portable devices.

Overall, Windows Media Player 10 is a huge improvement over previous Windows Media Player versions, though it still falls short of the competition in a few key areas.

If you ve bought into the Microsoft-oriented music world in any way,however--perhaps with a Media Center PC, Portable Media Center device,or by using a WMA-compatible online music service--you simply mustupgrade to WMP 10.

This release offers major improvements for discovering and buying, andsubscribing to content online, sports an improved UI, and integratesnicely with a coming generation of portable devices.

And if up-and-coming music subscription services, like that now offeredby Napster, take off, the release of WMP 10 will be heralded as thewatershed moment of what is clearly still a nascent market.

That said, users interested solely in music playback will likely findlittle reason to abandon iTunes. And iPod users will simply ignore WMP10 as they have previous versions.

Windows Media Player 10 is free and requires Windows XP (any edition), but not any other Windows versions.

That decision will be controversial, but I think it s the right one:With over 300 million users, XP is clearly the preferred Windows clientfor consumers and music enthusiasts: Had Microsoft shipped a WMP 10version for older Windows versions, that product would have lacked keyfeatures and held up the release of the XP version.
