Windows 7: [Guide] Install WMP11 over WMP12

It should be a choice, not force, which one you use. Me, I use WMP to add album art and edit tag info and that option is gone in WMP12 under right-click on song. Also I don't like it opens up in small useless now playing window when clicking "play" on folder, because while listening songs I want edit some others in library maybe... Opps, edit is taken out now I didn't change yet, just enabled the toolbar hack

It never ceases to amaze me how [INSERT COLORFUL EXPLETIVE HERE] people are. For years, they've been asking Microsoft to give them a leaner, less bloated, Media Player. And when Microsoft finally gives it to them in the form of Windows Media Player 12, they whine like babies because they don't like it, and go back to the older bloated version.

Sort of like UAC.

In Vista, people cried foul because it stopped them from wrecking their computers. Now, with Windows 7, they are saying that UAC isn't secure enough, if at all. But isn't that exactly what the people wanted?

"Get a life" is all I can say to them...

I never complained about WMP11, if i had then I WOULDNT HAVE DONE THIS, isnt that a bit obvious?! I complained about WMP 12 and THEN DID THIS. If you dont like it dont do it, you dont have to flame anyone because of it. Its a matter of preference.

WMP 12 does not have a toolbar like WMP 11 and it lacks aero, besides i like how wmp 11 works better.

How about you try customizing the columns display in the library view of Windows Media Player 12 (to show the fields you're likely to want), then right-click on the song field (title, genre, artist, composer, etc...) you want to edit, then select the "edit" option.

Advanced Tag Editor isn't gone. It's just more tightly integrated into the system.

It's better this way, because you get inline editing without changing views...
