Why Windows Media Player 8 (or Media Player 9 for that matter) defined as crap in your view?
Please... On p4 it takes 3 hours to open a media player, and 3 more to open a movie. MP9 (or

is super-bloated. All that different GUIs and shaped windows... Who need that? What about the thing that Media Player is sending data to Microsoft (autoupdating... right) with the list of recently opened files?

To just create a playlist you need ages. I know that if you are familiar with it, you will not have a problem, but after a first try, I was dissapointed, and after a second, while I was waiting to open a movie, I know that I need MP6.4 back. It's still there, but having problems with wmv files. There is a replacement for MP, called Media Player Classic, latest version 6.4.6.5, and it rocks. I'm sure that you have your opinion about MP, but it's not always like it seems.

Take care,
