Windows Media Player 11 - final release at last

Way back in May we released the Beta of Windows Media Player 11. Finally, after exhaustive testing and refinement, we released the final build earlier this week. You can download it now, for free, from here. If you're running Windows XP and have ears, this is a must-have application.

Windows Media Player 11 Beta is out

If you use your computer to store or listen to music you're going to love the new Windows Media Player 11 Beta that was released in the last few hours. Searching through my music collection using album art instead of text transforms the experience and the integration with online music stores is very cool. I also like the reverse sync feature which allows you to automatically upload files like photos, videos or simply music from a portable device. I first saw this release in the development labs a year ago and have been wanting to use it ever since. On first experience the wait has been well worth it.
