The most striking change to Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, the much-awaited upgrade to the player/jukebox that ships on most new PCs, is its dramatic cosmetic overhaul.
Windows Media Player (WMP) no longer feels like a freebie utility thrown in with the OS (think Notepad), but is an application you'll actually want to use. By giving you easy access to all of your multimedia files (music, photos, and video) and helping you accomplish the tasks you're likely to want to do with them, WMP 10 at least equals ? and in our estimation surpasses ? the current leader in the field, MusicMatch Jukebox 9.
For starters, Microsoft has moved major function buttons from the left toolbar to the top. The cleaner interface is more pleasing to the eye, and Microsoft also (thankfully) simplified WMP's button language from "Copy from CD" and "Copy to CD or Device" to "Rip," "Burn," and "Sync."
A third window view in the Media Library (which displays the Now Playing list, Burn list, or Sync list) is one of the most significant usability enhancements. In previous versions, you had to toggle between the Media Library and Copy to CD or Device window to burn a CD or send music to a portable player ? a hassle, since you could no longer see your library. Now, you can see the lists in the Library window and burn or copy from there, which is much more intuitive.
