Review

Windows Media Player is the one stop for all your multimedia needs. It has been designed to download, personalize, and play all your high-quality Windows Media audio and video files.
Windows Media Player comes with Windows and is available for download as well. This powerful and intuitive application is more than a media player. It incorporates many other functions in a neat package. WMP allows users to play audio CDs, audio and video files, listen to Internet radios, transfer files from and to a mobile device, and burn your own audio CDs. What is appealing about this package is that it combines all the aforementioned features in a single software application.
Since Windows Media Player has been specifically designed for Microsoft Windows by the Windows team, a great degree of stability and compatibility can be expected.
The new features in version 7.0 are Windows Media Audio 8 (WMA8) encoding, new Smart Transcode support for the best quality transfer to portable devices. Includes Windows Media Audio and Video 8 decoding.
Advantages
  • Plays all the Windows Media formats flawlessly.
  • Comes with Windows.
  • Free.
  • Great compatibility with other Window devices.
Disadvantages
  • Does not play all the formats out there.
  • The UI is sometimes annoying.
  • Performance is below par.

As usual Microsoft products tend to slow down your system .
Windows Media player lives up to that bad reputation.Not as good as Media Player 9
I prefer multiple players
players each one with its good and bad points.
Real Player and VLC are much better for building your media library and playing videos.
Evil player is the most flexible and lightest for playing your audio Mp3 files.
Give this combination a try. I am sure you will like it

Jet audio is much better, light to memory, doesn't use much of system resources...
