Media Player 11 Sam P 01.07.2007 20:34:02 Hi, I found two major setbacks to this new edition. One, it has no easy 'now playing' pane, which would be visible in all views. Secondly, when in minimzed mode on the taskbar, there is no 'quick access' button to choose different music, like artists etc... It was for these two major setbacks that I downgraded to media player 10!!

Re: Media Player 11 Sam P 09.07.2007 09:28:00 Thanks, as far as I can remember, there was no option to have a 'now playing' pane in the library view. This was a major setback. Are you sure that in the library view you can have an automatic pane with a list of the now playing songs? (without making a new playlist of the now playing songs)?

Re: Media Player 11 "zachd [MSFT]" <zachd[ at ]nomailplz.online.microsoft.com> 11.07.2007 07:15:58 Yep, absolutely sure. =) The "basket" you're referring to can be easily toggled on/off with the arrow to the upper right of the player - I'm guessing you just missed that. =) -- Speaking for myself only.
