Cool new feature?

Dunno if I've been under a rock or what, but found this cool feature... WMP interfaced with the keyboard volume controls...

That isn't really a new feature. My Windows 8.1 tablet has the same thing.

Mmmm... thanx, Nice addition :)

Hmmm is right; wasn't there on my desktop a couple days ago!

Almost as handy as the old WMP Toolbar, as a quick reference if anything. (I think it's aimed more at touch devices though)
Displays album art as well! :)

Having said that... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>What are you listening to now??

I've noticed that as well and for one like it.

Are they bringing WMP back then? Since 8 was released its been kinda disabled.

Comparing this to my Win 8 it seems new to me

If I use xbox music I get the above using the keyboard controls, in WMP I get no on screen display

would be nice to see a merging of xbox music/WMP

I see that box in Windows 8.1 when running Slacker Radio. In Media Player it's just a small volume up down on screen indication. I'm not running Windows 10 at the moment. Maybe in the new year though.

Hi - how did you get 'This PC' onto your desktop ? A shortcut, I guess. I only get options to pin to start.
I tried making a desktop shortcut but lots of things are greyed out.
