iTunes for Windows Media Player 9 version 1.1b
---------------------------------------- -----
By Stevie BM and Binary

Files in this release:
Readme.txt - this document
iTunes.wmz - the standard skin, uses any of the included WMPiTunes fonts
iTunesOSX.wmz - the "true to OSX" skin, uses any of the included WMPiTunes fonts
Patch_wmploc.exe - used to patch " wmploc.dll". Run this .exe in your
%WINDIR%\System directory to enable iTunes style stars
Fonts -
WMPiTunes.*

IF YOU HAvE PROBLEMS WITH THE BROWSE PANE:
After much investigation, with the help of Tobbz, I've discovered that the reason that the browse
and source panes aren't being populated is that you have some broken playlists in WMP...
The solution for this is as follows:
- Go to WMP Full Mode
- Select the Media Library tab
- Select "My Playlists", and delete all playlists in there
- Select Auto Playlists, and delete all the playlists in there.
- Problem solved.
If you want to mess about trying to find which of your playlists are broken, then by all
means do, but this is the quick and dirty solution.

In short, my skin tries to read the names of all your playlists, so that it can add them to
the source pane, and if you have a broken playlist, this fails, and stops the rest of the
playlist loading correctly.

Updates in v1.1b:
-----------------
- Removed "Alt" versions in favour of using "LucidaGrande" fonts
