July 12, 200521 yr i will always prefer newer versionbecause newer means more facilities, more reliablity, more stable
July 13, 200521 yr Not necessarily bhurtel...but in this case you happen to be right. 10 is better than 9. I hear 11 is coming out end of this year...or soemthing.
July 15, 200521 yr I voted 10 because I liked the 3-paned design, It makes it easier to burn and transfer music to all of my mp3 players! I like the GUI better than 9, but where is the skin option?
July 17, 200521 yr Hrm cant really see much of a difference but i use 10 cos it's the latest.Erm, in response to the DRM post, try ripping with other ripping software, and encoding using LAME. Microsoft are trying to stop pirating etc using trusted computing and DRM, but if u use slightly older and free tools you wont have a problem with ur ripping.I use Audiograbber which is free, and LAME MP3 codec which is free, combined they produce very nice mp3s from the source, with no copyright problems what-so-ever - never ever use a microsoft tool for things like that!
August 4, 200521 yr hm, WMP9 is ok and you can to download patch for mp3 in WMP9,WMP10 have a pretty interface but is a slow...I don't know I using Winamp...
November 3, 200520 yr Definitely WMP10.Its user interface is better and for my needs i feel better with WMP10, and i like upgrade my performance
November 4, 200520 yr 10, because newer is always better. Actually, I find the mild feature set improvement a plus, but I wouldn't be that upset if I had to use 9. I only use media player at work, don't want to put software on my computer that we don't let other users have. At home, its a combo of Winamp, iTunes, and a little bit of media player. I would never use Winamp, iTunes, or WMP to rip cds. I use Cdex and the latest copy of Lame for ripping and MP3 encoding.
November 4, 200520 yr If mp3 ripping is the question,I use WMP 9 plus a little registry "hack" from www.winguides.com/registry to achieve high bitrate mp3 encoding.Along with that I use the Fraunhofer Pro mp3 encoder so it encodes as high as 320kbps Stereo (not Joint Stereo as in WMP10).It does the job for me
November 4, 200520 yr I prefer WMP8, but 9 is ok. The only major problem I think I had with WMP10 was that left/right arrows didn't work to seek while watching videos.
