    Does anyone have an issue when it comes to shuffling their music in WMP12, I only have 3000 songs and the time between shuffling to the next song can take 3 to 10 seconds, it also works the cpu to 60-70 percent, given that its a core2duo 2.6ghz with 2 gigs of ram I'm rather dissapointed at this because WMP11 worked flawlessly and without any lag at all. Is there a fix to this or should I roll back to WMP11?

    Found the problem, it seems that the sideshow gadget application was the bottleneck, killed that and it runs like silk.
