Windows MediaTM Player 8, a feature of Windows XP, bring together all of your common digital media activities in a single, easy-to-use application. Now you can watch videos and DVDs, listen to music (including CDs and both Windows Media and MP3 files), organize your media into personalized playlists, tune in to nearly 3,000 Internet radio stations, transfer music to a portable player, or create custom CDs up to 700 percent faster than other solutions—all in one place on your PC. You can even personalize the player\'s appearance by selecting your own skins, colors, designs, and features.
Windows Media Player 8 is the first media player with full-featured DVD support, including automatic title recognition, enhanced media information, and parental controls. Only Windows Media Player 8 delivers cover art, chapter listings, and more from a database of thousands of titles.
Windows Media Player 8 integrated full-screen video controls for all supported video types, including Windows Media Video and DVD-based video content. Designed to provide an unobstructed view of the display, controls fade into and out of view with one click.
Windows Media Player 8 takes advantage of the built-in CD-burning features of Windows XP to unlock the full potential of your CD-R or CD-RW drive. Burn CDs up to 700 percent faster out of the box, and access all of your portable devices in a single window. Improved usability and device support make it easier than ever to acquire, manage, and transfer your music and videos to the widest range of portable devices.
