Windows Media Player 12 new features introduction

We have introduced some of the new features and new features of Windows 7. Let's take a look at Windows Media Player 12. Windows Media Player is still an important component in Windows. I thought Zune would replace Windows Media Player. Off-topic: The socialization of the Zune software is really interesting, such as: Zune's Social Card, and MixView are very good.

The interface of Windows Media Player 12 is probably the most significant change. The interface with Windows 7 is very unified, and it is more concise and brighter than the 11th.

The following picture shows the interface of Windows Media Player 11 for comparison.

Windows Media Player 12 is already playing the Now View and Music Library Library view modes. In Now Playing, include visual effects, playlists, music/video. In the Library, there is only music/video management operation.

The next two pictures are screenshots of the playing mode, and the common playback control buttons are not greatly changed:

music playing interface, the left picture is the playlist, right The picture shows the visual effects:

The taskbar in the Windows 7 Taskbar has also introduced the Taskbar Previews and Jump Lists features of Windows Media Player 12, which can be viewed in the original text.

In addition to playing the Now Playing and Music Library, the two view modes are separated, there are some very nice little features, such as: 15 seconds of music preview when the mouse is over; music, video and photos The classification is also displayed on the left (11, only one of them can be displayed).

Windows Media Player 12 supports H.264 video, AAC audio, Xvid and DivX video, and formats already supported by Windows Media Player 11. This means that in Windows 7, we can basically play the mainstream format with Windows Media Player 12, without having to download the decoder separately.

Windows Media Player 12 also supports browsing the iTunes music library of other users on the local network, but Apple does not license its FairPlay DRM to third parties, so WMP 12 does not support DRM-protected iTunes content.

Amanda introduces the new features of Windows 7: Libraries and HomeGroup. In fact, WMP 12 also adds a feature called Play To for HomeGroup, which users can use in other computers in HomeGroup. Play multimedia content on your computer.

Similarly, Play To also supports the Digital Living Network Alliance v1.5 device, which has similar functionality to the one described above, but if the device does not recognize the file format, WMP will automatically transcode it.

Similar to Windows Live Essentails, Windows Media Player is also an important product for Microsoft to enhance the Windows 7 user experience. Windows 7 has so far given a good impression.
