This happens with v6.4 and up - memory leaks. Bad ones. When I watch several episodes of Family Guy, (the show was cancelled, so I can't watch it on TV;)) or whatever on it, my system resources steadily decline. Exiting Media Player does nothing; it just keeps sucking down resources and doesn't give them back.
Is there a player out there that does everything that Windows Media Player can do, except for absorbing resources?
