Tons of New Additions in Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2 |
Ó
There will be home networks galore when Windows Vista comes out, and we're lucky enough to get a taste of this with the second beta of Windows Media Player 11. This latest version of WMP 11 is set to work with other products aside from Vista, as it will allow for streaming content to the XBox 360, the upcoming Zune mp3 player, and assorted digital media receivers.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft is also bringing WMP 11 to work with their own music store, Urge, which is going to be a direct competitor to the popular iTunes. You may not like the monopoly about it, but the set-up looks like a strong Microsoft retaliation to the strength of Apple.
Of course, Version 11 has the same functionality as its predecessor, which offered CD and DVD burning and ripping as well as music library management. Just remember that you'll need to pick up Service Pack 2 before you can use it, ok?

does this mean we can stream videos to the 360, without WinXP media center OS?
" Microsoft is also bringing WMP 11 to work with their own music store,"
Nice, at least they're not copying anyone.
When all of these features had been realized when the Beta of WMP 11 was released months ago?
omg i wish they were clear one what kind of content because i really wanna watch videos on my 360 but i can cause i dont have a windows media center edition pc. i hope this allows u to stream videos!
If you have a home network (wired or wireless), you can use Windows Media Player 11 to stream the contents of your library to networked devices. For example, if you have an Xbox 360 or other digital media receiver (DMR), you can use Windows Media Player to stream music, pictures, and videos from your computer to that device.
OMG yes i believe the official microsoft site says u can wathc videos on the 360 with it! yay !!!

u need to have a genuine copy of windows xp service pack 2!
or it wont run.. dam i wish tere was a way around it!
I have to use Windows Media Player to put music on my phone. I absolutly hate it, I SO wish it could use the MUCH better iTunes instead. The less I see of that program, the better.
Can anyone get their 360 to work with it?
I downloaded it and I got nothing...how do you get your 360 to work with it?
Hi Everyone - big shout to QJ.Net

WIndows Vista is coming out next year, and comes with media center, i was lucky enough to get a beta and try it with my 360, it foun d it flawylessly and worked awesome, i believe they meant when u get vista u can stream video
i think microsoft will have to update the xbox dashboard for it to recognized windows media player as something to stream music. but thats what i only think. hopefully they'll add it on during the fall update.
IMO WMP11 > iTunes. Everything about it is better, from music organization to even the UI. iTunes looks plain and boring (white is plain and boring), but WMP11 is sleek and black.
Remember that magic acronym people, thats my opinion, no flames
Haha, Greg you were "lucky enough" to get a beta? Don't you mean you just downloaded a beta?
The betas ended and they where hella hard to download and i didnt even get a beta from microsoft i was a beta tester from the start...
