Media player 10

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I think so, though I'm sure there are disagreements. The biggest advantage
to me is it's integration with a PC running MP10. Some have been stymied by
some technicalities on how to get playlists on the device, but it can be
done. It's not hard but you have to set it up right.

The great benefit is that when using WMP10 on both devices, when you sync
video, it is automatically converted and compressed. If you have a Media
Center PC and have recorder TV, it even works with that, quite conveniently.

It also handles DRM better if you are using a music download service such as
Napster. You can sync protected songs to a flash card using the MP10 pair.
No you can't take the flash card out and put it in another PPC or music
player, but that's the point of DRM, isn't it.

So, I don't think you lose anything that isn't made up for in other ways,
and you can always get third party music and video players if you don't like
what MP10 does.
