WMP ..

That's Windows Media Player, to the TLA crowd (Three Letter Acronym, gah!) is, in and of itself, not a bad player .. it's a bit resource-hoggy, and has a lot of doo-dads that really aren't necessary for simply playing music, but by itself it's fine.

Ther are alternatives .. Real Player is probably the best of the rest .. it's a little easier to use, and does pretty much everything that WMP does. There's another program called WinAmp, which works well for playing music, and, I believe, burning CDS. ITunes is fine, as well, though I had limited success with it, for burning audio CDs ..

Apple evangelists, though are a bit like Linux evangelists, in that they're often not so much in favour of Mac and/or Linux, but simply violently opposed to anything Microsoft. That there's anything wrong with opposing Microsoft, as it is a huge, powerful company and produces mediocre, buggy software, which over 90% of the computing world uses .. but, sadly, in the world of computers, it's ubiquitous, and you'll run up against it everywhere.

So, there ya go.
