Advantages: Easyish to use

Disadvantages: slow, Awful demo song

Media player must be one of the best players that I have found. Its way simpler than the last one that they brought out, there are far more options including my favorite, the multiple play lists of MP3 files that are on your computer rather than just the ones that are on your CDs. My media collection has grown over the years I have used it, now that it is of a good size I find the sorting feature great.

Even with all the goodness that has come from the updated version there are bad things that cant be ignored. WHY VISUALIZATIONS?????? What is the point of them, sure a little swirly pattern in the middle of the screen might be good for some of you people (I dont know how you use it) but for me I have music in the back ground while working,all they are doing is slowing down my allready struggling PC, my PC crashes and everything while Media player is running. why isnt there an easy way to remove the visualizations from it???

Also, while auto updating the program, why does it insist in trying to get you to download the awful beck songs that every sane person has already deleted? WHY????? Its not like any one likes it, just let us delete it and leave it that way.
