Excuse me for a moment while I get this off my chest...
Windows Media Player needs to die a painful, horrible death. NOT ONLY is it verbose, clunky, counter-intuitive, not to mention UGGGGGGLY, but has it slipped everyone's attention that it CRACKLES WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS OPEN?!
GAHHHHH!
Yup. Just try it. Play something (if you can figure out *how* to play something - I dare you) and then open up a program. Any old program. And to make it more interesting, make it a MICROSOFT program like Word.
Then kinda drag the program around the screen a little. HEAR THAT?! IT'S CRACKLING!!!
Death to you, Windows Media Player.
Um, except when I'm at work and don't have any other media players at my fingertips. Then I suppose you'll have to do.
