Use the NullViz -

WMP keeps the viz there anyways because it needs to keep the same layout in
order to be friendly to page creators. =\

Over the last several years, WMP has gotten hard and harder to use. I
just
spent neaarly an hour just trying to turn off visualizations. I find
Wow ! Were you drunk ?
I wish.
The "No Visualizations" option doesn't appear in the View when I am
connected to the streaming audio feeds on www.1.fm.
Nor do they appear when I am using "skin" mode. Right-clicking gives me
the
option to change the visualization, but no tturn it off.
Eventually I discovered that the option only appears under 2
circumstances...
1. If I started the player directly instead of through a web site
OR
2. If I am in "full" mode and I right-click instead of using the View
menu.
I still haven't found a way to turn it off in "skin" mode for some skins.
iTunes any use to you ?
To be honest, I don't trust Apple. I had a bad experience with QuickTime
installing parts of itself everywhere. I don't like applications that run
at
startup and put icons in the system tray. To make matters worse, the icon
didn't actually do anything besides launch QuickTime and burn cycles.
But that doesn't really matter unless iTunes can read windows media feeds.
Maybe I'll join the WMP 11 beta. Considering I stumbled on at least two
real
bugs in addition to the annoyances like the above, maybe I can of some
help.

Ok, I admit that WMP 10 is a little bit better, but I really miss the

It's still there (in XP) : Start -> Run -> mplayer2.exe

Then you'll really dislike WMP11, which behaves like a windows [vista]
application LOL - all change ! Actually I've got to quite like it now,
it becomes more intuitive fairly quickly, compared to WMP10 which is
*still* baffling at times <g>
originally used it instead of WinAMP or the one that came with my

Labs sound card.
iTunes any use to you ?
