Yeah, I saw one of the bugs you mentino, Jeff. The red X in the upper-right is for the logo of the music service. It appears as though no logo shows up for MSN Music. If you switch to another service, you will see a logo in place of the red X. I haven't noticed the bass difference on mine, but I'll have to play something to check.Anonymous

The windows media player 10 has a good interface. However it does not contain most of the codecs required to view formats like wmv or avi. I wonder what makes microsoft leave loop holes in whatever they do. I think microsoft should rethink about integrating Audio and Video formats. This increases the time required to play any of the supported files.
Windows Media Player is far better than other freeware programs such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Nullsoft's Winamp, and Apple Computer's QuickTime and iTunes. However some players like RADLIGHT and FreeMediaPlayer are much more impressive although they do not support audio formats.
Lets hope that Windows Media Player 11 also called ' Polaris' is faster and has all the required codecs to support WMV, ASF and AVI formats.Anonymous

I can't get a folder view for any cds (with mp3s on it). Am I alone on this?
I can play the songs alright, but I can't 'expand' the folders to see the song list. Not in the library, nor in the "Now Playing" screen.
I am liking the release, otherwise.Anonymous

Not sure if it's just WMP 10, but when setting the volume slider to a low volume setting, then clicking the seek bar to jump to elsewhere in the song / movie the sound resets to some much louder volume.

I don't burn/rip music very often. I downloaded music 2 years ago from Music Downloads (Walmart) and burned them to a lightscribe CD. No problem. I did the same thing this week, but now I have 2 problems:
- The order of the playlist is NOT what is being burned. It keeps burning the list in alphabetical order by artist - not my playlist.
- My cd plays on my computer and in my car, but NOT in my CD player. NOT in my CD home stereo. (remember - the FIRST set of cds I had no problem with either one of these 2 things) any suggestions?
