MP10 [Spiny]

Posted by Dave

This one slipped under the radar for me, but Windows Media Player 10 has been released.
Before you start laughing give it a go.
They fixed the media library which was the one thing that annoyed me. It starts up way faster than winamp 5 and the user interface is a masterpiece of usability.
OK, now you can laugh.

    Masterpiece of usability?! You are taking the piss surely.

    Does it toggle pause when you hit the space bar yet?

    Tried a DVD with it, and it couldn't play back the AC3 so I had to install AC3Filter.
    I checked SPACE=Pause, and... it doesn't work. Clearly that would be CTRL-P (usability morons).
    And worse than that... double-click doesn't go fullscreen any more! Egads.

    Yep, CTRL-P = Pause, but double click toggles full screen for me.

    I guess a key-remapper plugin could be written, or use something like this. Just found a neat feature. Play an MP3, while this is going, play a video file. Then pressing ctrl-B picks up where you left off in your mp3.

    That is a good feature. So with version 11 maybe we'll get some usability and it'll all be pukka?
