not much difference between version 9 and 10 to be honest, but give it a try folks and see what you think!

have you not heard of compression?

I'm not sure about it myself. Seems a bit cheap looking for some reason.

Two things:

1) Please don't post bitmaps, they are far too big for those of us on 56k. Yours is 230k. Use JPEGs or PNGs please next time.

2) If you're going to post a screengrab of WMP10, what is the point in including the taskbar and desktop? Why can you not just post the WMP window instead of showing us your wallpaper and colour scheme? :roll:

And 3) Make it a reasonable size, rather than Citylink-label sized.

Much.

Two methods:

1) ALT+Print Screen.
2) Cropping.

Holding down ALT and pressing the Print Screen key will capture the current window. You then go to Paint Shop Pro or whatever and paste it in. Voila, no more desktop or taskbar.

As for cropping - Print Screen, paste into PSP or whatever, chop off the bits you don't need and save.

Your new screengrab is better. Could be more flattering mind but its better.

Thanks

Don't like the look of that much - I stick to the original Windows 98 WMP style

Program Files/Windows Media Player/mplayer2.mpg

Much cleaner and less bloated so loads much faster 8)

I like the way it now includes the track numbers on the play list, but anyone know how to change that lurid blue background? I have the Olive Green scheme on (which some people themselves say is lurid!!) and I prefer the original black of WMP9. Any suggestions, or am I stuck with it?
