If you do/did it seems that a system restore will work to uninstall it.
|
Care to elaborate? Have been using WindowsMedia Player 9 for quite a while without any problems.
|
I recently got updates from MS and downloaded the newest version of Media Player. It seems to be full of bloat and kept trying to call out when playing a song off my HD. I assume to match the file I was playing and give me a link to the artist site or maybe to just record everything I play. It even put hidden album art in my Music folder. There is no hotfix/install number so I couldn't use the add/remove programs to remove it. I'm happy that off all the times I wanted the System Restore to work correctly, this time it did. B)

Enhanced Playback Experience Section. Just uncheck where it says "Update my music files (WMA and MP3 files) by retrieving missing information from the Internet" I uncheck all 3 of those boxes, actually. What could be easier? I suppose you could use RealOne to play your media, including WMA files. I just happen to prefer Media Player and have never a problem whatsoever with version 9. MNKid |
Version 9 is fine here. Never tires to call out, but I am using a "hacked" build. :) At least according to Zone Alarm Pro. 4.0x. :)

I tend to agree with the majority here. Have been using 9 for a long time with no problems whatsoever. Maybe you could check microsoft's knowledgebase for an answer to your problems with version 9.

Maybe I should have worked with with it more. I'm the kind of guy that when the hood cable on my car snaps, I kick out the grill and pop the hood open with a screw driver.
Maybe I just need more patience. :lol: Thanks for all your replies. |
lol, i'm the same kind of guy :D I also rip door handles off if i break the key in the lock :P

I *had* to install 9 to rip an HDCD encoded album at a high bit-rate. 8 only gave me 192K linear but 9 gives me up to 800K VBR. It did what I needed. It does take some time to set it up though.
