Description of Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7

Microsoft has now made Beta 2 of Windows Media Player 11 available to download.

While Beta 1 allowed users to purchase music from MTV Networks' Urge service, Beta 2 introduces a host of other online music services such as eMusic, VidZone and Music Giants, bringing the total number of online stores that a user can access from within the software to 14.

Microsoft has also added Windows Media Connect functionality to the player, as a new feature called Media Sharing. Windows Media Connect allows users to stream the content of their Windows Media Player library to networked devices such as the Xbox 360.

More information about how to use Windows Media Connect and what digital receivers support the technology can be found here.

Microsoft has not disclosed publicly when Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP will be in its final release. A version of Windows Media Player 11 also will be included in the next release of the Windows client OS, Windows Vista, scheduled to ship on PCs in January 2007.

  Strengths: Layout is great and it is really easy to use. I like it. But...

  Weaknesses: As soon as I installed it, I could no longer use my Sandisk MP3 player. There was a problem with the driver. As soon as I rolled back to WMP10, the problems ceased. I guess that it's just "beta blues"

  Overall Evaluation: Am looking forward to the final product when it rolls out and they've sorted the bugs.
