Vista - Windows Media Player

I find WMP hard to work with. Does anyone else have this problem?

Try VLC ( Download VLC Media Player 1.0.1 - FileHippo.com )

The MS supplied multi-media programs are a user interface nightmare,
much like the other current MS applications. They no longer have any
concept of user interface design. I don't think I've used one lately
where my first, second, and third thought was "WTF could they be
thinking".

That said, most multi-media apps are poorly interfaced. They seem to
all think "multi-media is the latest and greatest, so we have to build
applications that are totally different from anything people have used
and totally non-standard".

You're asking this on a newsgroup full of techie types, bless their hearts.

natural hand at computers and non-intuitive software, so ignore any insults
tossed at you.

I can't figure it out either. I tried to make playlists and failed. I can't
clear the one that's there which seems to be an entire folder of music no
longer on this computer for ages. When I open WMP it wants to contact an
online store which I resent. There are no helpfiles. I don't use WMP for
those reasons.
