If it works for you, you have a good deal. I'm using version 6 of it,
and I use version 7 of real player

  I'm not sure for this release. but for the beta version that I tried, when I

 How many MP3's do you have, and what classifies as forever.
 
 I'm happy with it, okay the initial ecstacy of the really cool effects
 (I like Niagara) have sorta worn off but I certainly won't uninstall it.

  Hi guys,
  Its been around for months but the first official release version of
  MS Media Player 7 is on the Microsoft Windoze update site, and though
  I shudder as I type the following words about an MS product-- this is
  just too cool to believe.
  I've just touched the surface of its features but even its audio
  playback screen has a fancy sound-to-light converter with loads of
  types to choose from.  I believe it can rip CDs to MP3s but havent
  checked for that yet.  At any rate it is light years ahead of the
  previous version of Media Player (everytime I went to the MS update
  and saw the Media Player 7 beta listed, I was tempted but resisted).
  Normally I tend to slag off MS but this product at first sight seems
  great, wots more it's free!!!  Is this MS trying to kill of Real and
  MusicMatch and other multimedia software producers?  There must be an
  ulterior motive behind this seemingly wonderful piece of software.
  You guys are the best I know to ask, any thoughts on it?

 Personally I'm staying away from it.
 I have installed it to try it out, but it was removed almost immediately.
 I have a lot of video clips that play fine fullscreen under 6.4.  I tried
 them in 7 and it was like I had a low end Pentium instead of the 550@645
 that I run.
 WMP7 suffers BADLY from terrible refresh rate and laggy control response.
 It may have some really cool features but if its that slow I'm willing to do
 without them.
 The one good thing I will say is that it seems to uninstall cleanly ^_^
 James Budworth

Its good to know it uninstalls cleanly and doesnt leave a load of dodgy "I'll use this 
for such and such" lying around
I must say I was slightly suprised to find my K6-3/450 giving a rather jerky picture 
when the sound-video eindow was opened beyound
a window size of about 640x400

Esp as my pretty good videocard (overclocked videocard I should say) can cope with 
Quake II like a walk in the park

Cheers,
PrinceGaz.

No.  WinAMP and x11amp (now xmms) are cool.  Media Player 7 is just a
copycat.
