WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 REVIEWS OUT
Talking of Windows Media Player 11, which we were, briefly, Digital Music
News have reviewed an early copy of the new player and are generally
positive in their opinions of it - saying that the enhancements on "graphic
usability" are good, that there is a pretty good search function, that the
device synchronization and CD burning functions are "highly intuitive" and
that, generally speaking, it all seemed to work OK (which in itself is quite
rare for new Microsoft products). You can read the review at

I gave up on WMP when I realised what a drain it was on my CPU... At times it was pushing my CPU usage up to 80%+! I switched to winamp and never looked back.

Search function... Why? So you have 50 000 songs on your PC. And? They're alphabetisised, no?

I really fail to see the need for that, unless you are really badly organised with your music, and in that case, I think you don't deserve a search function.
