Is that the new interface? It doesn't look any different than version 8. :?

Yea, it would appear to be the same....


Now that I have played with it more, lets just say it has evolved rather than changed. :)

Looks like it may be time to switch from Rhapsody to musicmatch. Anyone tried their on demand service? The "share with a friend" feature is what really catches my eye. I'd love to find a legal way to share new music that I've found with my friends. Rhapsody claims to have this feature, only your friend has to also have an account with them, which ten times out of ten isn't the case.

Still runs as slow as molasses on my PC. Nothing exciting so far. :?

Lots of goofy characteristics with the UI. You can't double click on a track to preview it but must instead click on a teeny tiny speaker icon. And the program keeps nagging me to upgrade to the paid version. It's worse than Quicktime. :roll:

Hmmm, maybe I'm best off with sticking to MM 8.2 for the moment then. It's working fine for me and I did not notice anything about actually making it a better player -rather than adding the ability to sell you songs etc. :?

I've used this program but have since given up. Actually purchased the lifetime upgrades. The one nice thing I liked about it was the SuperTagging it had. But once you are finished taggings your misc files you are basically left with a slow music player that does essentially what wmp9 does but it's free (so to speak).

I neve messed with the online music. The new sharing features sound pretty good but doesn't apply to my needs. If these features interest you I would say give it a try but if you just want to rip and play music stick with wmp (or a free equiv.)

i'm still using version 7.5

old but reliable.
