#1 Windows Media Player 11

It's available here.
Now what to heck to write about it
I'll start off with the obvious: Shiny, very shiny. This is a very pretty media player program. The default skin is a very very classy black look with blue highlights. The visualizations, unfortunatly, still suck.
Ease of use: I'm still getting used to it, but so far it's about on par with WMP10 and ahead of it in just getting stuff to play quickly, though I'm sad I can't see the playlist at all times.
Features added: The main feature upgrade here, is the library, which has recieved a serious overhaul with heavy emphasis on playlists. Playlists have been moved up and are easier to create. Meanwhile,the library itself just went pretty. Images here. There's not much to add, now album pictures are displayed, the display of track information is cleaner(but also less good from my point of view), but it's alot easier to use.
Windows users, get it.
