There are also a new fullscreen control bar(it still scrolls off of screen) you can now see the elapsed time of the clip you are playing and it has a slick new interface(and you can change the color of the skins with the color slider).

Is this the one with the spyware in it?

[Zombie9920]

Not that I'm aware of. I ran ad-aware and it didn't find any spyware/adware in my system(after installing the new build of WMP9). Me thinks some anti-MS person may've been pulling your leg by saying WMP9 has spyware.


added - Here is another WMP9 build 2773 mirror to download from if the first link goes down (http://www.lolirot.com/neowin/Windows_Media_Player_9_Corona_9.00.00.2773.zip)

Have you guys had any problems with it? When I try to watch some movie the program crashes. It is only like 3 or 4 but the are good ones. When I used WMP 8 the movies worked perfectly.
