Ah sorry for not being exact enough. I mainly use the quick keys on my keyboard. I have a next, back, pause, and stop button on my keyboard. This works fine in WMP 12, no complaints there. When doing it in WMP 11 with the toolbar active, It would pop up giving me the song title, artist, etc. conveniently for me (as I have a large library that I am always sifting through, on shuffle). This functionality is missing in version 12. I can mouse over the icon in the task manager, but it will only show a preview it had cached from the last time I had the window open. Had it been updated anyways, the text was too small to read.
I've been searching the net and it is difficult finding many people commenting on the W7 experiences with WMP 12. Darn beta software.
