Wonder how long before ALL media players will be forced into line??
possibly picked off one by one,if all these lawsuits carry on being won!

I wouldn't worry to much about that. If they go after makers of MPs as well then they will just not put their name on the software :wink:

M$ are not the same as everyone else. They are doing this to support their own interests and not because someone is forcing them to.

Just go for freeware if that happens

Just installed WinAMP v.5.31

Very nice interface once you get the hang of it

If I should mention one thing I don't like about it, it's that there is no option to display the path in the library windows (very handy for getting rid of duplicates)

You can still do it by right-click get info, but it's more time consuming

(Oh and it took my three months worth of playing time) :wink:

Is there any way to STOP windows connecting to the internet whenever it wants? I know with some FWalls you can deny update access etc, but try denying op. system, no way.

The Sygate Firewall will ask you´every time ANYTHING tries to connect to the internet. You will need to get some insight into what processes to allow though

A good way is using google to check. Just type the exact name of the process into the search.

Allowing them a few times more probably won't hurt. as you have allready done this the whole time while using Windows Firewal

Thanks Sleepless,will try,forsee a steep learning curve with denial ! and thanks for google tip.
