    Windows media player continues to get worse and worse and I dont know why. But, honestly, there really arent any fantastic alternatives either

    REad my comments on WMP 10 and then avoid the monster. On the other hand if you must have post 6 WMP functionality, this is the last one that doesn't integrate itself in an inextricable way to the OS. If you can avoid the pain, run back to 6.4 and resist all temptations for an upgrade. Better than 10, but still greedy about extensions and associations, memory hogging, and downright ornery with competitive software. I only use post 7 WMP on computers that have no other media players installed. If you disregard that, get ready for Microhard Times.

    WMP 9 is a not bad player for WinXP. However, the main enhance functions (e.g. crossfade, play speed, etc.) are not available for Win9x/2000 User. For these user, WMP9 for Win9X/2000 is only update the codec inside and nothing more. It use more than 10MB memory. So I don't recommend the Windows 98/Me/2000 user to install.

    Guys, the WMP9 installer gives full details on everything privacy-related, and lets you disable anything (privacy-related) you don't like.
