TheUI itself is brighter and lighter than WMP11. Some buttons and toolbaritems have been moved around, but the experience should be prettyfamiliar to users of version 11. What does represent a big change isthe removal of the Now Playing button, which in WMP11 switches to aview showing the current playlist.
This is because WMP12completely separates library management from what's currently playing,with two distinct player modes; Now Playing view, and Library view.Library view contains all the library manipulation features that shouldbe familiar from WMP11.
