Poll: Windows Media Player 7 does it suck or is it me?

[lotust]

It make my 1000mhz PC 20 seconds to open MPGs? ??? ??

Take the poll if you please.

I prefer the old player and im uninstalling the new player 7. Booooooooo you system resource killer.

It's up there on my sucky software list. :|

Yes, it sucks really hard. I recently uninstalled it and reinstalled 6.4x. Much better.

 

[Regine]

It must suck double as hard to need two threads

 

[loup garou]

I'm so confused. There are 2 threads, this one without a poll, and the other with a poll whose choices make no sense!

media 7 is basically 6.4 with a whole crap load of skin and user inetrface... i have 7 with a whole crapload of codecs, then i get my trusty media 6.4 icons and go re-associate my mpeg/mpg/avi/asf files to the mplayer2.exe file and change the icons for the old skool look = ) that way i have 6.4 speed and interface, but can also use the playlist option on media 7 for multipart movies and such

I installed it a couple of months ago. I uninstalled it in about a minute and went back to using 6.4x.

My friend just installed Windows media player 7 and all his mp3s sounded choppy and very slow. He's got a P3 700 w/128mb ram too. He uninstalled it and they sounded perfect.


Ok, now it's in both posts

IT'S YOU !!

Sorry, AYBABTU-attack.

MP 7 bites.
I too went back to a previous version after installing 7.0

The concensus among video enthusiasts is 6.4.. version 7 is a pig.

 

[lotust]

Wow its still 6.4 by a mile

 

[JayPatel]

7 is suck....6.4 for me as well.

 

[geno]

crap

 

[yakko]

6.4 for me as well. 7 does not even work right. When you hit ALT 3 to double the size it doesn't do it until you stretch the player itself where as 6.4 just did it.

 

[dcdomain]

oh ... it ain't you... it does suck. takes hell of a long time to close too...

 

[esung]

well, I have media player 7, but I use the classic panel, so it looks like the old stuff without a load of crap, but anyway I'm only using it to watch movies and streaming videos(NASA TV), I use Winamp for all my audio files..

 

[Elledan]

WIMP 7 is part of the next generation of bloated, unreliable and slow pieces of software. WIMP 8 will be even worse, so brace yourself

I use WinAmp for audio and video files, although I sometimes use MediaPlayer 6.4 for video. I tried to run WIMP 7, but it really sucks. After three days, WIMP 7 got uninstalled.

It's not you...

 

[Moz]

Too bloated and useless for me. 6.4 all the way!

 

[samarth]

Windows media player 7 sucks.
6.4 is way better.

 

[Mday]

technically, 7 does not replace 6.4, since 6.4 is still accessible separately from 7. i installed 7, and run 6.4 =P

you just have to open 6.4, and set it to be the default media player....
