Download Media Player Classic. It normally comes with codec packs.

The big selling point in MP10 is that you can connect to online shops... yet none came up when I tried. Waste of time IMHO.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can it shift the pitch of music that you're playing?

I need to learn something on a piano, but I bought it on eBay so its not what you'd call concert pitch

get in tuned mate will cost you 50 quid (or there abouts) and you have to do it atleast once a year, but its worth it

But yea, grab yourself a copy of Cool Edit (not the new version by Adobe, its cack) and you can pitch shift stuff. Although the easiest would be Acid Pro 4 by Sonic Foundary (been bought out by someone else now, but you can still "buy" the old better versions)

edit - also one tip for anyone with a piano, make sure the room its in stays at a fairly constant temperature and place a small tub of water inside the piano if its an upright, as it will make the piano sound better If its a grand or baby, then the room temperature has to been fairly warm, otherwise you end up with a shite sounding piano costing a few grand

back on topic though, MP is cack personally. Its very bloated for a simple media player, hence why i use winamp 2.8 with a few plugins for video stuff...and works well

We phoned one guy, told him the list of things it wants - complete tune, couple of strings, hammer adjustments, bit of work on the peddles. The woodwork is OK. He didn't turn up

It plays OK until you need accompanying

Yeah I think Winamp can do this? Might get that.

Yesh, the MP10 online stores are useless. iTunes is definitely the way forwards.
