I just thought some of you may be interested to know that the new Media Player 9 Series now has built in ability to slow down tunes to 50% without changing pitch. It’s helpful when learning tunes.
Remember it’s still in Beta. I found that straight from CD was not as good as ripping them into .wma files..
It is free..but remember you will have to succumb to a complete retrofitting and assimilation into the Borg.
-note
those of you who have always wanted to prove how much you know about computers, this is an awesome opportunity to show everyone your vast reservoir of knowledge by ripping on Microsoft products. That’s always impressive (thumbs up)
Your post reminds me of an altered “Star Trek: FIrst Contact” movie poster I’ve seen stating: “XXX billion people on earth, none using Netscape” (instead of “…on earth, all Borg” or something like that).
Be careful of Media Player 9. It is DRM enabled and could interfere with your ability to play the MP3’s you already have, as well as rendering any audio files obtained after its install unplayable on any other computer except the one they were downloaded on.

Yes, Microsoft sold consumers down the river on this one … big surprise there
I actually have both and I’m not a real big fan of Media Player as it’s a resource hog but I thought it might be useful to know.
For those of you who care to use it-
Open up Media Player and Click on View/Settings and select Play Speed Settings.

Either way, you will be assimilated
Too true! LOL I just hate the DMR crap that MS put in.
Best,

From what I understand, it’s not only MP3s, but also .avi files that it copylocks. Hopefully a tech attorney will sue MS and get this feature dumped. It searches all associated files and locks them that way. Which means if you use your PC to edit/compile your family movies, you can’t email them for others to see. Grandma can no longer see Jr. taking his first step thanks to MS. I’m steering clear of WMP9 just for that reason.

At least it doesn’t barrage you with advertisements. But okay, here are some other alternatives.
