I've been using WMP11 since it was released in beta to the public and I like it a lot, specially the way it handles my music library, which is quite big (over 350+ albums in there).
However, I believe I have found a bug, which is as follows:
If I am listening to music while the player is locked to the taskbar, and then pause for more than a few seconds, the program will then take control of the CPU, bringing it to 100% usage and bogging the computer down to a crawl. The only way for me to fix this is by manually opening the task manager and killing the process. Closing the program window will not help, as the process will remain loaded into memory even after the window has been effectively shut down. This only happens if the library tab is selected while the player is minimized.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I'd like to file this as a bug to MS but I want to make sure it's not just a problem on my side due to a crap driver or something 🙂
