"Windows Media Player" Like to listen to music while you surf?

by Pandemonium , May 04 '01
Pros: Great organization features, easy to work with portable devices, all around good!
Cons: Takes up to much of your resources and little hard to locate music.
The latest version in the Windows Media Player series is 7.0. Although it is much superior than the previous bland versions of this player, it does have a couple of problems. For those of you not familiar with Windows Media player 7.0 it is a player for ...

Microsoft.....moving ahead or leaving end users behind...?

by myoptical , Oct 05 '00
Pros: better streaming performance, skins, burning CD's, compatible w/ hand-held
Cons: resource intensive, can't disable check for updates
This newest release of Microsoft's Windows Media Player is version 7. MWMP7 makes a distinct break from not only the limited functionality of previous versions but from previous operating systems. That's right and "NO, I didn't stutter". The...

Copying Music CDs: Burn Baby, Burn!

by shoehorny Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 04 '01
Pros: Creates excellent copies of CDs
Cons: A bit time consuming, a lot of work is involved in setting everything up.
Review of Windows Media Player (May 4, 2001)

If someone told me ten years ago that I would be able to "burn my own CDs" for pennies at home, I would not have spent so much money on my extensive CD collection! By pennies, I mean pennies - as...

Pros: It plays videos.
Cons: the interface is horrible, and the software is slow.
I have this horrible piece of software on my computer right now, and the only reason i use it, is to play videos. If winamp played videos, i would only use that, but since it looks like i dont have any other choise, i guess ill be sticking with windows...

The trail of tasty bread crumbs leads to the evil empire.

by HunterSBoy , Apr 17 '01
Pros: Gets video file size down to as small as it can go.
Cons: Clunky, huge, and Microsoft OWNS the format. That means hell for video producers.
At first glance, Microsoft's Windows Media Player and the accompanying video format it uses are an interesting proposition. When compared to Quicktime and Realaudio, the Microsoft ASF files that Windows Media Player uses are absolutely minute in size....

Windows Media Player 7: Stepping Up To The Big Time

by Reggie87 , Sep 04 '00
Pros: Much Improved, Still Free
Cons: No RealAudio Support
The Empire has finally gotten it together, at least as far as media players go. Windows Media Player 7 (MP7) has added a number of features and now moves up to the role of contender. And, best of all, it's still free. Note: MP7 works...

WMP7: Wonderful, Marvelous Product

by achougoo , Dec 26 '00
Pros: Versatile, all-in-one player
Cons: search pc for media files feature and skins usage
I was notified by CNET download about this product and I downloaded the 7MB file (a trial version). This amazing product zapped me, but my PC crashed (not because of WMP) and later as I replaced my HDD, the first product I installed after Windows98 was...

Give the Devil his due

by limeygit , Jul 24 '00
Pros: Quality, variety, inbuilt internet radio player
Cons: Well it is Microsoft
I want to hate Microsoft I really do, they are the magpies of technology stealing (or buying) other peoples ideas. Often their original version is pitiful when compared to the product they stole from, but give them enough time and they always seem to end...

What? A good Microsoft product? Is that an oxymoron?

by Nightshade_01 , Aug 21 '00
Pros: Tons of features, auto-playlist, auto-track naming, built-in CD ripper, EQ
Cons: resource-hungry, ambiguous search feature
(This review pertains to version 7 of Windows Media Player)

There's a lot of Microsoft-bashing out there these days, what with the anti-trust suit and all, along with their OS, notorious for crashing at inopportune times. Well, I just...

The Demon Media Player?

by ia_young , Jan 31 '02
Pros: free software, plays most formats
Cons: microsoft, is a huge file to download
With the advent of the Internet the whole world suddenly became connected to everywhere. A little after and before (most probably) media formats were developed for computers. These allowed things such as short movies and music to be viewed at home over...

Good if you're not running anything else

by Magflux , Dec 29 '00
Pros: Nice look, stylish, WOW sound effects
Cons: Not clean and crisp when it should
Like everyone else, I was astonished when I first saw the interface for Windows Media Player 7 (WMP). How can you compare its look with that of the boring, original box-like Windows environment? (well, they're both grey?) I was anticipating new versions...
