Browsing the Media Guide and Online Stores
The Windows Media Player comes with a built-in Media Guide that is updated daily with the latest music, movies, and entertainment news from the Internet as well as access to your favorite online media stores, such as URGE, Napster, Emusic, Mixplay, Getmusic, and Satellite Radio, where you can download music and more. WMP provides special integration with URGE, an online music service provided by MTV networks. The Media Guide is a web page that provides links to a variety of media topics ranging from music to sports. Selecting a link opens a web page with more information about the topic, or plays music or movies. Links to media files, such as music or movies, appear with different speeds, which indicate the speed at which the file downloads and plays on your Internet connection.
