    Anyone else got this yet? God its crap, I hate how Windows are taking everything in the direction of "slick looking, basic interface, hard as f*** to navigate", its very annoying, and while has the same features, is alot harder to run that WMP10.

    My advice is if you get the option to update come up on screen, decline, WMP10 is alot more user friendly.

    In terms of looks I like it, but when it comes to navigating, it's very annoying. I have had it for so time and yet i still get confused on where to find certain options.

    I would rate it a 7.5/10.

    I was thinking of getting it because it looked nice, but haven't gotten around.. probably won't now. Don't really use it much anyways.

    Winamp blows WMP out of the water when it comes to playing songs.

    I hate the shuffle on Winamp though, follows a methodical pattern.

    I think it's the Color Chooser, forget where that's at on 11 though.

    It sucks. On 10 I can look at everything I want and it's easy to navigate. 11 has these funny pictures and album covers everywhere. It's pretty crappy. I rolled back immediately.

    I just use winamp, win the lyrics pulgin. It's pretty awesome. If you want to play videos get VLC, but winamp is just way better, and always has been.

    Nah its not in there. Anyone else know? This pale blue background against the black is just plain horrible, surely they didnt remove the option to change pane colour [​IMG]
