Okay - I've had my new laptop for over a week now and annoyingly, it seems that Windows Media Player comes pre-installed as part of Windows XP (which I had specified as the OS in the 'build'). However, I haven't used it (WMP) yet.
The thing is, each time I try to play an MP3, it asks me to start the Windows Media Player set-up process ...but I'm avoiding doing so! What I'm hoping is that I can avoid using that annoying, restrictive piece of shit altogether and use another application instead. (Ideally one that allows me to make CDs with no gaps between the tracks and which doesn't insert them when there are meant to be none, of course!)
So... does anyone have any tips on how I can avoid having Windows Media Player ever try to start up on my machine and also what are useful, versatile substitutes for it, bearing in mind that burning CDs will be a major preoccupation for me?
Cheers in advance, chaps.
