The Multimedia Player

Until now, a variety of programs for the playback of CDs, videos and other media was available under Multimedia in the Accessories folder of the Windows start menu. These have now been succeeded by the Microsoft Multimedia Player. It handles the most com- mon multimedia formats, all under one common user interface—regardless of whether the data is coming from the Internet or the local hard disk. The Multimedia Player is responsible for the playback of RealAudio and RealVideo, as well as WAV, AVI and Quicktime files.

Video playback or Internet live radio: The Microsoft Multimedia Player handles all common multimedia formats.

After the installation, the file extensions of media files are permanently associated with the Multimedia Player. You can thus double-click the media files in the Windows Explorer or My Computer folder to conveniently launch the Player and start the playback.

The use of the Multimedia Player is intuitive, and it includes a comprehensive help func- tion to clarify questions or solve problems while working with the program.
