Further improvements help insure transfer stability, making sure devices aren’t completely hosed if an impatient user unplugs the device before transfer is complete.

Player 10 one-ups iTunes by making portable device discovery automatic, optionally filling all available space with music based on your most listened to tracks.

Device synchronization is one area where iTunes has kicked the collective butt of the entire portable player meets software player market. The most important improvement in Player 10 is the integration with device support. These are show-stopper issues I guarantee will be repaired by the time Player 10 is officially released. CinemaNow is still not sizing the pop-up windows correctly either, with the play controls partially obfuscated by the bottom edge of the browser window (and no resize allowed).

Browsing movie titles is distinctly more robust than in the previous version.

So far, I’ve had to install the Napster upgrade twice in order to navigate successfully I’m willing to write that off as a beta issue for the time being.ĬinemaNow is still learning, their movies require a browser pop-up in the beta release, just like the Player 9 version of the video-on-demand service. Interacting with the music and radio services seems snappier inside Media Player 10, instead of the more sluggish response found in the Player 9 integrated version, when compared against the standalone version of Napster. Buttons navigate cleanly to Napster specific features. Using Napster via Player 10 makes you forget the player is anything other than the Napster player.

Microsoft provides space for premium service navigation in the player window and Napster takes full advantage. Napster appears to understand just how important the user experience is. Where launching a premium service inside the player used to be akin to invoking some arcane incantation and generating an annoying series of external windows, the new integration (demonstrated with new versions of Napster and CinemaNow in the Technical Beta) is considerably more seamless. Integration with premium services is now fluid in a way that should give iTunes a run for its money. The Enhancements view is almost identical to Player 9, with the navigation moved to the top of the visualization pane, making the interface more consistent. A mini-visualization located just to the right of the volume slider adds subtle finesse to the play control area. Other interface improvements include scrolling of streaming media during playback (an impossibility in Player 9), which is essential for fast-forward and rewind functionality. I say almost, because in a perfect world, I should be able to create a playlist, listen to the playlist, interrupt the playlist with an item outside the playlist, and then pickup where I left off when the solitary outsider is finished (think listening to music, interrupting the music to listen to voicemail, and returning to the music when voicemail is finished). There’s almost a solution for player interruption, by clicking the Back button to resume playback of the previous item. A quick access panel makes switching between albums or playlists a snap. The interface takes all the buttons wrapped around Player 9 and organizes them cleanly and sensibly at the top of the UI, not unlike the IE toolbar buttons. Player 10 functionality takes ideas founded in Player 9 and delivers a walloping upgrade, making Windows Media Player a joy to use for the first time since version 6.4 (which is still accessible via the Run command line by typing in mplayer2 and hitting Enter).

Number 9 is pretty on the inside, with powerful features, but lacks the finesse of some of its rivals. The interface is a graceful replacement for the ugly stepsister that was/is Player 9. However, Player 9 continues to frustrate me with a convoluted series of buttons haphazardly placed around the perimeter of the main program window. Windows Media 9 Series introduced better media codecs and a generally improved player. While I don’t recommend installing this new player on your primary system (as I have) until it gets closer to official release, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about dramatic improvements to the default media player. In fact, I’ve had fewer issues with the beta of Player 10 than I experience when running Player 9 on the box I use to serve all my media. I’m currently running the Technical Beta build on my laptop, with no serious glitches so far. The Windows Media team released the Technical Beta for Windows Media Player 10 on June 3.
