My primary beef with WMP is that it plays media from within a Web page
instead of launching a distinct, separate process. If I switch profiles
or merely close that page, whatever was playing stops. This is also a
complaint I have against media playing via Flash. Usually, the media I
play are streaming broadcasts of classical music. These are not 5-10
minute tracks of popular pieces; these are 30-60 minute symphonies and
concertos or even 2 hour operas.
I don't think that's a function of Windows Media Player, it's how you
have your browser configured. Mine opens it in a separate process. I
think if you have Preferences-Helper Applications for the media type
set to use the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin it plays within the
page. But if you have it set to Use Windows Media Player like I do it
opens WMP in a separate process. Of course the down side of that is
you have to close the WMP window when it is finished because it is in
its own process and doesn't close automatically when the media finishes.
