So I heard through the grapevines that Microsoft was going to release a super cool Napster challenger… called URGE. It has an all you can eat for $9.99 and all you can eat + mobile for $14.99. Exact same as Napster



The day has come… with the release of Windows Media Player 11 Beta, URGE is now integrated.



My thoughts…



It looks sweet… here’s the intro screen. Slightly cluttered. Click on the photos and check out my notes on Flickr.

kinda tight.



The ONE problem I have is that some controls feel like they are in URGE and some controls feel like they are in WMP. It’s supposed to be an integrated experience…

very cluttered



Overall it will take some time to play around. I have accounts on all of the major music services but still go with iTunes for my purchases.
