After a brief delay, Microsoft on Monday made available Windows Media Player version 11. The update includes several enhancements, including a new user interface, improved syncing, and integration with the URGE music service.

Windows Media Player 11 has been publicly available as a beta download since May of this year. However, issues with the quality of the release caused Microsoft to delay the final product while last minute bugs are ironed out. WMP11 works on Windows XP is available for download in both 32 Bit and 64 Bit variants.

Its about time the final was released it's only been forever. I like the new gui, better looks and plays alot of file formats so everything is ok. Now if I can only have the video and audio syncing correctly.

They usually wait a while before releasing it on auto-update so they don't overtax the servers.

Crap, they didn't fix anything. As far as I can tell, besides getting skins working properly this is absolutely identical to the Beta 2 and Beta 1 versions. They didn't even fix the "whole album" bug. It's better than 10, but they could have at least fixed that simple of a complaint.
