I'd say "no, they should keep it", if they fix it:

• No auto-tag replacing.
• No truncating file names and titles.
• No loading everything on your pc, every time it starts.

I'd say "yes, get rid of it", if MS can't be bothered fixing it.

I found WMP 12 irredeemably awful.
IMO, WMP 10 was far superior.

Hmm, you guys are cruel. I like the WMP and use it all the time. I would rather they remove the WMC which I find useless - too confusing and too much trouble to set up.

Yeah indeed, I never had trouble with the WMP - and I do all kinds of things with it, even snapshots from videos (but it is easier with VLC or WMM).

I tried to use it, but for me it's a waste of space.

On a related note, can that be said about metro design?...

I agree with that. WMP needs a MAJOR redesign to be relevant these days. There has to something in Windows 8 media playing wise that is the bees knees.

Speaking of such, I was installing WMP 10 on some xp machines because I thought WMP 10 was the last one, but it's not. And wow, I was shocked, to me it felt like exploring an old, abandoned ship since WMP 10 was supposed to come out with Windows Longhorn. It was weird....

BAH! There's a recent screenshot of Windows 8 with WMP open and I think it had the About dialog box open in it and it's at version 13 and it STILL looks exactly the same as 12! This is potentially disappointing I have to say...
