Guest Mundy Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Yup, best yet. Agree with Tony and Prince the mini player on the task bar is great. Also like the fact that the artist's name now appears in the album list. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince of Calcutta Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 has anyone noticed the stars ratings next to your song files in wmp9? lol i don't quite agree with some of the ratings does anyone have any idea what they are based on ? the number of times i listen to a song or based on online ratings?

mark2 Posted March 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Had it running all the time I've been on comp today, like the queue-it-up feature and minimise to the taskbar. Stars I think are to do with how often you have played that track/album default seems to be 3 stars on installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Yes the stars are to represent your favourite tracks. I think all music starts with 3 stars and the more you play a track, the more stars it gets. In the playlist dropdown, there are 4 star/5star etc etc lists to choose from (for a varied mix of music) as well as the less favourite selections.I quite like the crossfader option... ;) ..and the Goom visualisation from HERE...
