Top 2 Windows Media Player Plugins To Use

By: Karan Goel | 23rd August 2010

Windows Media Player is Microsoft’s own media player that comes pre-installed with all its operating systems. To enhance the dull default WMP experience, you have a huge list of plugins that work on both Windows XP and Windows 7.

I have tracked down 2 of the best plugins for Windows Media Player, and they are.

Sleep Timer

You should note that this plugin is fairly old (2005) and only worked with WMP 11 on Windows XP. Furthermore, you have to sign up to The Code Project website before you can download the plugin. The plugin will be listed under Options > Plug-Ins > Background > Armen Hakobyan’s Background Sleep Timer.

Now, the purpose of this plugin is to put your computer to sleep after your playlist has concluded.

Firefox Plugin

Microsoft has developed a new plugin for Windows XP and up which adds some new features. This Firefox Plugin must be downloaded and installed separately. Before you run the .exe file that will install the new plugin, close Firefox.
