Chris Lanier Says "Fix WMP or Trash It!"
"It is becoming incredibly pathetic how Microsoft just doesn�t seem to care at all about some of their products. Not only was Windows Media Player 10 a huge disappointment for WMP users, MCE users are feeling it now. There are over 100+ bugs in Windows Media Player 10. Over 100 bugs people, 100. Why in the world was a product released as final with that many bugs? Microsoft just doesn�t care or something? Seems like that to me and countless others. Microsoft�s Windows Media Player Newsgroup is crap because of a few issues. The first being they refuse to address a single issue. The second being, they refused to take any sort of feedback from their users and MVP�s when WMP 10 was in beta. The features they market as the big ones for WMP are completely and total failures. You can�t sync to �supported� portable devices correctly, the Media Library is nothing but near 50 reported bugs, never fixed. You can�t reliably play purchased tracks with protection without getting errors that Microsoft refused to address. Oh, a huge percent of the posts in the Newsgroup are the same questions over and over again. One would think Microsoft would see this was better their documentation, but no, they don�t care."
Chris Lainer has an axe to grind with WMP, and I can't say that I completely disagree with him. I use WMP daily, and all in all I think it's one of the better music players out there, but there are certainly some things about it that I'd like to see improved. Most of my complaints are around the library though. If you use WMP, what are your wishes for how it can be improved?
