Is the scrolling through library tracks alot quicker in this version? As the current media player seems pretty slow to me with the scrolling.

Crap, you need SP2..

 

You still aren't on SP2? Jeeze...

I tried it on my legit copy of SP2 on my other machine, damn it a nice interface.

 

No doubt it'll appear in an iTunes soon. :hmm:

Did it download this slow for everyone else, or is it just my bad luck?

Going at 9.4kB/sec - nope just dropped to 8.7 :wtf:

gonna take 40 mins

 

Edit: I tried the other link and it's going at a normal speed now :p

 

Edit 2: First impressions - not good really, I can't be bothered to get into why I don't like this but I'll be switching back in the morning...

I can't see why anyone would use WMP out of choice... Give me winamp or itunes with the AMIP plugin (best use of ctrl+j ever) any time.

iTunes is still better, but this is an improvement over 10. Ta for the link.

I'm running SP1 aswell, since my computer crashes even more often with SP2. Is it worth the more unstable computer to get this? Especially given that I'm entirely happy with the very easy to use iTunes.

Those of you still on SP1 should seriously consider moving to SP2, there are soooo many nasties that need to be fixed, someone is probably buying stuff on your credit cards as we speak. :hmm:
