The Windows Media Player product group has no interest in listening to anything you have to say:

I've gone back to 10 myself. I know they beta test these things, don't they
listen to people's comments?

I recently upgraded from 10 to 11 and rolled back to 10 after a couple of
days (a complicated process that worked but required three uninstalls and two
restarts).

Version 11 no longer displays the duration of the file that's playing, only
the elapsed time.

Long titles (typical of classical music) are demoted to the lower left of
the player window and severely truncated.

The earlier version 10 displays the individual files in playlist (*.m3u)
files along with the duration of each and a grand total duration as they are
played. This is deleted from 11 or I can't find it.

Why were these features deleted? Or are they buried on a menu I haven't
found? Is there a list of deleted features to help users decide if they
shouldd "upgrade"?
