I've been using it lately but nah I don't think it works at all. Seems it hasn't even been updated since windows 7. Might have to find another media player. WMP crashes on me sometimes for no reason. Also it's kinda dumb that every time I open it, it defaults to sorting by albums. I always switch it to sort my song title.
