Windows Media Player 11 BETA

WMP 11 Beta 2 (US ONLY) offers access to more online stores and lets users share content across various devices.

Microsoft has now made Beta 2 of Windows Media Player 11 available to download.

While Beta 1 allowed users to purchase music from MTV Networks' Urge service, Beta 2 introduces a host of other online music services such as eMusic, VidZone and Music Giants, bringing the total number of online stores that a user can access from within the software to 14.

Microsoft has also added Windows Media Connect functionality to the player, as a new feature called Media Sharing. Windows Media Connect allows users to stream the content of their Windows Media Player library to networked devices such as the Xbox 360.

More information about how to use Windows Media Connect and what digital receivers support the technology can be found here.
