Microsoft will release updated versions of its Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker software over the next two days as part of an announcement that includes revised licensing terms for its Windows Media Audio 9 (WMA 9) and Windows Media Video 9 (WMV 9) technologies.
Windows Media Player 9 Series, which will be available for download on Jan. 7 from 12:00 p.m. PST, includes a Smart Jukebox feature that lets users manage a collection of up to 10,000 songs and speeds access to the audio and video library compared with previous versions of the software. It also can automatically create playlists and can update information about songs, including correct track, artist and album names, according to a Microsoft statement.
