Re: Is WMP 10 support coming?

I've noticed that the 9.1 encoder that shipped with WMP10 produces much
higher bitrate VBR files (at least at the 85-145 VBR setting) than WMP9
did.  This is likely an oversight on Microsoft's part.

Compare file sizes to verify -- it's quite possible that the overall
bitrate is too high for the AudioTron to handle (compute file size over
time for a given track).

I've left my WMP10 setting at 85-145, but routinely get into the 180 range.
