Download Zoom Player 4.50 beta 4

Inmatrix has just released version 4.50 beta 4 of its media player Zoom Player. The player available in the flavors Standard† Professional and WMV Professional† The differences in the three versions are in the price and possibilities. The standard version is the only one that is free to use and plays the most common media formats, the pro version can also be used to play DVDs and the WMV Professional version can also play DRM content. Inmatrix has not been sitting still and this release comes with the following laundry list of changes:

Changes from v4.10 beta 3:

Similar to WinAmp’s jump dialog, but allowing multiple search queries, moving selected items to the top/bottom of the list, removing selected items from the list, etc…
• New Magnetic Hard Docking functions (fnPLMagToggle, fnEQMagToggle) and Buttons on the Equalizer and Play List Editor.

When either interface is magnetized, the standard snap-docking is disabled for that interface.
