    Download it here

    I'm using the leaked version from a few days ago (No difference apparently, just one build number change) and I have to say I quite like it. Its a definite improvement over 10.

    The searching is fast, I like the album art feature too (Amazon is a good source for them)

    Tagging is a bit dodgy (Make sure your Album Artist tags are good!)

    Looks quite pretty too (imo) Nice use of tabs

    Been using the leaked version for 2 days now.

    The search is very fast indeed. It will finnally read embedded picture art in the Media Library in an mp3 instead of depending on the folder.jpg file too.

    Looks quite slick and is not so much a hog as iTunes. (Not sure if it plays *.m4a though)

    got it there too, have to say it's better than the previous version.

    when you search it will search instantly when you key in a letter, like i-tunes which is a nice feature.

    didnt like the standard layout with all the album art and all that so i messed about with it and got it back to list view and chopped and changed a few headings.
