Widows Media Player 9 ( WMP 9 )
 

:shrug:

I seem to remember that WMP 9 has the beginning of Digital Rights Management ( DRM ) buried in it? I therefore have not updated my WMP to V9.

Does anybody out there know whether I am crying wolf and being overly cautious, or what?

:shrug:

im sticking with 8 does everything i want it to really obviously future versions will restrict certain file types so im sticking with 8

So stick to winamp for downloaded music and you can play video through it.

Every time i start windows media player it says about upgrading:sleep:
Of course i wouldnt want cause like you said it has a shed load of drm features bulit in!

I have had WMP9 befor I formated, not bad but quite a few gliches, went back to 8 after format, much more stable IMHO that is, dont get me wrong, it did play more file types " off pat " than 8 without d\ling codecs but..... wasn't right, stick with 8

Must agree with the above, i tried ver 9 of media player, gave it a couple of days, then went back to 8...i think it is a case of "if it aint broke,dont fix it"

I think 9 is just fine....never had any problems with it........as far as digital rghts go, when all that starts i will just get myself another player :)

There is a fix for windows "talk back" that disables all talk back from WindowsXP to M$.

If anyone want to mail or PM me for the proggy its 81k and i'll mail it to you.

I've been using WMP 9 and so far is fine. Plays all the videos.:wavey: :smokin: :shrug:

Alferret, XP anti spy from grc.com is useful in that way. The site is interesting and includes a firewall test. A lot to read.
