| 337976 | 2005-03-25 09:56:00 | I hear that Media Player 10 is worth installing. Is this correct? Do I have to uninstall ver 9 first? How do I uninstall ver 9? I can't see it in Add/Remove Programs. Many thanks. Pat. |

| 337978 | 2005-03-25 11:31:00 | Yup, WMP 10 is much better than WMP 9. It have more simplified tabs like Rip, Burn, Sync etc. Cheers :p | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 337979 | 2005-03-25 12:09:00 | I have heard that it is loaded with DRM (Digital Rights Management)that in some cases can screw with your Dvd burner. :eek: | B B (6979) | ||
| 337980 | 2005-03-25 12:36:00 | I agree with BB , I believe 10 is full of poorly executed code including DRM and , well , I can't see why anyone would entertain it [ mind U I ain't got XP] ... seems to me there are lots of worthwhile [ often free ] alternatives ... :o | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 337981 | 2005-03-25 12:45:00 | Winamp 5. Better yet, Winamp 2.91. |

Me I have it installed and it works 100% fine and better the MP9. Burns/RIPS/Plays the works. Sure there are some DRM stuff in there so you can download music off sites but it doesn't interfere with anything else |

| 337984 | 2005-03-25 20:42:00 | personally I love wmp10, if it wasnt for winamps awesome feature of rememberig exactly what was in your playlist last time (without saving it) I would use wmp10 full time for everything | lagbort (5041) | ||
| 337985 | 2005-03-25 20:54:00 | I have heard that it is loaded with DRM (Digital Rights Management)that in some cases can screw with your Dvd burner. :eek: Stop spreading FUD FUDboy. Yes, WMP 10 has DRM. So does WMP9, XP SP2 & 2000 SP4 (Probably got the numbers wrong, but you get the idea). And how can a piece of software screw up hardware? If it was true, it would have been cut off at the beta, and would be fixed by now. Kindly think out your replies before hitting the post button. kthxbai |
