Allchin: minor WMP update this year

Thomas Hawk passed on news of a minor update to Windows Media Player.

While we're both hopeful of performance improvements for larger media libraries, my main hopes are that they will first address
  • overwriting of metadata, track file-names and even deletion of tracks which has been evident since v9 was in beta
  • user control over album art so that correct art (like other metadata) is not overwritten by WMP when it decides your art is wrong: 1 2 3
  • album updates and search 1 2
  • linking of error IDs to online resources

I hope they test it in conjunction with Windows Media Connect too. I have noticed inconsistencies between my WMP10 library and the search performed by my Roku Soundbridge M2000.

How so? I work pretty closely with that team. Is there anything specific here? Generally this is definitely improving over time, but it's improving from such a bad "old-fashioned" state that there's still a long way to go to make everyone happy and cover the bases in full.
