Windows Media Player 11 Is Now Final


The final version of Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 has become available. I think most of us have Windows Media Player 9 or 10 on our Windows machines, now it’s time to upgrade – it’s free.

You may ask “what’s new in version 11?”. I think the biggest change is the interface. It’s more user friendly and easier to use. It also integrates the MTV Network’s Urge music store, where you can buy 2 million songs from more than 110,000 artists. It’s definitely a competitor to Apple’s iTunes and costs are similar – only disadvantage is that the Urge doesn’t work with iPods.

Media Player 11 also has a few new features for Windows users - better search capabilities, an easier-to-use navigation system and it includes an audio fingerprinting capability that can recognize mislabelled media files.
