One way to work with your music collection in WMP is with ratings. Much like the internet is significantly enhanced with filter and search tools like Google, Yahoo!, RSS, etc., a large digital library is not as meaningful without ways to organize it. Before I’d digitized my music collection I’d spend hours pouring over my CDs, alphabetizing them, reorganizing them by music genre, etc.

The key for the obsessive compulsive digital media collector is the same as the key for the obsessive compulsive LP or CD collector - organization. Want to create a Bob Dylan covers playlist? Select Dylan under the composer menu then sort the window by artist and select all but Bob Dylan as a performer and save it as a Bob Dylan covers playlist. The new ?Composer? menu on the left hand window is a handy feature. Windows Media Player 10 fully supports mp3 ripping and high quality encoding at that.

You had to buy a $10 add on plug in from a third party vendor or know enough about hacking WMP to figure out how to do it yourself. They didn?t disallow mp3 ripping they just made it inconvenient. Microsoft sought to justify this by arguing that it was a better format than mp3, etc. In all of the previous versions of Window?s Media Player Microsoft forced you to rip your tunes to WMA.

It?s admirable that Microsoft finally listened to their users on this one and gave in. You just select the tracks, right click, go to advanced tag editor and make the change. If I have a CD that AMG identifies the artist as ?THE GRATEFUL DEAD? in all caps and I want it to be ?The Grateful Dead? so that it matches my other albums, easy enough. You can highlight multiple tracks to correct metadata. Wow, so what if AMG has the data wrong? Simply right click on a track in Windows Media Player, go to Advanced Tag Editor and from there correct whatever information is incorrect. 90% of the time all of the track information is there for your ripping pleasure. Most of the ones that are not recognized are fairly obscure CDs, CD Singles, Promos, Bootlegs, etc. Why is this important? Simply pop your CD into your burner, click on the ?Rip? tab, and all of your track information is imported from AMG. I never would have pursued this task without this partnership. Over the course of the past few years I?ve converted my entire extremely extensive CD library to mp3. Microsoft did a really good thing partnering up with All Music Guide (AMG). My bias being duly noted and disclosed, what follows is my take.ġ.

I?ve been using the surprisingly stable Windows Media Player 10 Technical Beta for the past few months but thought I?d write a review on the software now that, as of 6:00 a.m. “WMP 10 at least equals?and in our estimation surpasses?the current leader in the field, Music Match Jukebox 9.”

Earlier today PC Magazine awarded the software a 4.5 out of 5 rating and a coveted Editor’s Choice Award. If Microsoft didn?t give this software away I?d gladly pay money for it. Even more spectacular is that it is free. Having used the program for a number of years I think it is quite simply a brilliant piece of software ? a masterpiece developed by extremely talented engineers in so many ways.
