Chris Lanier writes:"I will say this upfront, I hate 99.99% of DSP plug-in’s that I have seen for Windows Media Player. In my honest opinion they do not do what they advertise and they make any audio that you play, no matter the source, sound much worse. MaxxPlayer was a completely different experience and produce better sounding audio to my ears. One thing I will say now is that you can argue all day and night about audio processing, compression, and output and get little to no where with most people. Why? Because everyone has different ears, everyone has a different listening environment, everyone has different hardware, and so on..

Having said that, in my testing of MaxxPlayer I would recommend everyone to check it out and see what you hear, you might be surprised too. Mainly I used this plug-in for listening to MP3 encoded at least 192kbps and WMA Lossless encoded tracks. Currently hooked up to my PC are a set of Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1's and then a pair of Sony MDR-EX71SL earphones that I mainly use with my Creative PMC, iRiver H120, and Creative Nomad MuVo TX. I also hook them up and listen on my PC when listing to music at 3a.m. in the morning so I don’t drive those living around me nuts."

Microsoft just released a new build of Windows Media Player 10.0.0.3802. The original gold release of Windows Media Player had been version 10.0.0.3646. Unfortunatly no one seems to know what was fixed between each release, but its safe to assume that a handful of bugs and several security issues were resolved with this build.
