Microsoft is preparing to release a public preview of Windows Media Player 10 beta today. The update (due at 12noon EST) will sport the much talked about new GUI and enhancements for portable media players. WMP10 is due to be released later this year and will be included with Windows Media Center 2005.

Testers of Windows Media Center 2005 were treated to an early alpha copy of WMP10 for compatability reasons in the first round beta. Beta 2 of MCE 2005 is set to include the updated WMP10. MCE 2005 Beta 2 is due within 2 weeks.

Nice but a few problems with the taskbar mode...it isn't the same as the full screen mode...There are several bugs with the taskbar mode...

It is still in BETA phase you know Anubis. This is just the first public release (not leak).

I seem to have the feeling that i'm starting to like wmp more and more, it seems to be getting more and more like winamp..

They don't usually let the "public" (as in non-official BETA testers) report stuff.

Why use WMP when you can use Winamp 2.91? It's much smaller, faster and definitely much easier to use.
However, I must admit that I'm guilty of using WMP myself sometimes when I need to play movie files. I guess I could choose DivX player from the 'Open With' list, but heck, that takes longer
