Which version of WMP did you like best?

[Maximilian]

I would do a poll but i dont know all the versions, suppose it could just be 1.0-11 beta but i dunno.

Just reinstalled windows there, and its got WMP 9 by default, im liking it a lot more than i liked 10. The UI just seems... better. Not as overcomplicated. Dosent seem slow either.

WMP11 is the best out of the WMP family, IMHO.

WMP 11 FTW :thumbsup:

The latest, of course. That's one thing MS is good at; their new is always better than their old.

I like 9 better than 10 and have avoided 11 because its a beta. Might give it a spin at some point though.

11!

 

[DanTMWTMP]

6.4 was better than 7-9. 10 was pretty decent, but I wanted my SPACEBAR PAUSE!! GRR!!

Finally 11. 11 is really nice, convenient, and pretty lookin'.

Those who haven't tried 11 should try it.

Media Player Classic

I like 11 looks slick I run in front room for media point so looks are important.

I wasn't really a big fan until Media Player 11. I now use it over Winamp.

Yea, for music and stuff, but for movies/dvd's it's Media Player Classic ALL THE WAY.

I'm still using 10 until 11 is officially released.

Same, but I installed it on my test rig and it looks sweet, cant wait for the final version.

 

[BFG10K]

Based on screenshots it does look nice. I can't want for the final version. :thumbsup:

Why use WMP when there are SOOOOO many more free open source Media players out there.

one example is VLC media player, it supports ALL video formats UNLIKE WMP that olny supports some formats. and as for music I personally use MusikCube. it is SWEET. if your intrested in some nice Video/ audio programs then you should look into these, they are the BEST 2 audio / video slutions i have ever found on the open source network.

Thats not what the question asked.
The question was what version do you use.

I said I used WMP11 but used Media Player Classic for all my movies.

You are nothing but a troll

And technically if you install the right codec packs, WMP can play just as many formats as the others.

11 is a huge improvement... I'm pretty impressed especially for a beta.

Oh and:
"a troll is often someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion, including the personal attack of calling others trolls"
Just thought I'd throw that out there

So then your a troll too for pointing out me possibly being a troll for pointing out someone else for being a troll?

It's all good.

Ok, lets bow down and praise WMP 11!

But why? Whys it the best? Whys it so good? Can it play dvd's yet?

 

[xtknight]

6.4

If only they had made it more feature-rich. Media Player Classic did that and now WMP as a whole is useless to me.

I don't believe any legal software can play DVDs "out of the box" for free. You need to pay some MPEG consortium a licensing fee for CSS decryption. Media Player Classic does it anyway but I've already paid for a DVD decoder so it's not like I'm robbing them of anything. They've had DVD playback support (with a compatible software/hardware decoder) in WMP since version 9, or even earlier.
