Microsoft XP and Vista to get media player 11

Posted by Harsha

Microsoft is on track to release a Windows XP version of Windows Media Player 11 before the end of June, So the Windows Media Player users won't have to wait until January 2007 to experience the new features of Windows Media Player Vista.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 has a whole new look and feel. It allows Indexed searching so that the users can quickly find whatever they're looking for just by typing a few letters, again just like iTunes. Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 has the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With this new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices, where there is less need for very-high-quality video files.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 still won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into iTunes' proprietary FairPlay format. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.

Though the much awaited Windows Media player will be compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, it is not clear which of these new features will be part of the XP vesion of Microsoft Windows Media Player 11.
