It's got nothing to do with being unoptimised for other cards or anything like that...it's that it belongs to Creative...it's the CREATIVE Mediasource Player...in other words the only way to get it is bundeled with a Creative sound card. I am not saying go out and buy a creative card...it's just that a lot of people already have one and therefore the Mediasource Player aswell and don't need to go looking for WinAmp or another app as their music player.
