Need to find Windows Media Player 11 BETA

Hi,

I installed the final version of WMP11 and have found that my full library of songs imports OK but when I search by band it doesn't work properly. Then I couldn't uninstall the damn thing so reinstalled Windows (not a problem as I was putting together my new Rig in sig).

I didn't have those problems with the BETA version so am trying to find it for download but can't. I can however find BETA 2 but I don't want that one either.

Any help would be appreciated !

Cheers
 
Didnt anyone ever tell you beta software isnt supported?

You've been extreme in the troubleshooting (reinstalling the OS) however now that you've gone that far you may as well install the final version and see if you have the problem again.

BETA isn't supported ?? Tell me something I don't know.

I reintalled after the fresh Windows install, still got the same problem. Hence the reason I want the BETA back !!
 
You can you give more information on the how you are repro'ing the problem? What steps are you doing to search by band and where/how is it failing?

Ok, using the BETA when i searched with "Metallica" it gave me every occurance of a song with Metallica in it's title, album name, composer etc etc. In the full version I would do the same search and it would give me 1 albums worth of Meatllica (instead of 6 or 7). I would then do a search for an album of Metallica's (eg Master of Puppets) that it didn't find in the "Metallica" search and it would find that album.

I made sure the ID tags were correct and that still made no difference. This happened for many bands even though the entire library was imported correctly in the first place.

This same problem occured, as I said, after 2 clean Windows installs.

I've no idea why this would happen ??
 
That is strange, it seems to be working here. Did you try searching from different canned views (ex: Artist, Album, Songs, etc)?
