The second screenshot shows what seems to be a new metro style download manager for the Windows 8 Store. There is a weather app that seems to be downloading. There is just a white background in this picture. I wonder if they did that on purpose, or if they’ll change it to something more interesting later.

Hours after these pictures were posted, WinUnleaked posted some more pictures detailing this new Windows 8 Music Metro App. The first screenshot is just a Metro splash screen for the app.

The second one proves to be a bit more interesting than that. It is what looks like the first part of the Music app that you see. The main menu basically. At first glance, when I saw the panel that says “Find Music” I thought, “Oh no, Microsoft is trying to release another music store!”
But thankfully, that is not the case. From what it looks like, it is just a media player for your music. Under the “Find Music” title it says “Find and play music from a folder, device, or another location.” So for now this app seems more like a version of iTunes for Windows.

The final screnshot shows a split screen of Internet Explorer 10 with a web browser open, and the music player playing a song right next to it.

So this confirms my theory that this is just a music player. Well I am very anxious for a Windows 8 media player. Because, after all, Windows Media Player pretty much sucks with music. I only use it to watch some movies sometimes, but never music.]]>
