my favorite media player is Windows Media Player 11 and Storm Codec Media player classic. this last because it has the most used codecs and you can ad more codecs to it if you ant so you'll not worry about the format of the audio or the video at all, I like it

Winamp all the way. It takes very few resources, has wonderful plugins like an autostart or dsp plugin to enhance your mp3s, etc. I use it for music and movies since the sound plugins also improve the quality of avi movies and simulate surround sound speakers if you dont have them. I havent found a player that uses less resources and sounds better and i have tried a ton.

i prefer realplayer above windows media player and winamp
it runs almost everything from music and movies, and that is what i look for on the first place windows media player 11 sucks at some point because it keeps on crashing at my pc it runs fine for a couple of songs and then suddenly it hangs on one spot and just stop responding uncle microsoft should take a look at realplayer since realplayer has almost no bugs at all (not that i know any bugs) |

I dont exactly have a favorite they all work the same for me. But the one i use the most is probably Windows Media Player. But i also use Windows Media Center. I really only use those for Videos and stuff like that. But for music i use itunes. I like it more for music playing.

For music, I prefer iTunes. That answer might change, though, as I'm getting a little tired of the resource hogging that the latest version seems to be doing.
I'll probably give WinAmp another try. I haven't used that software in ages (years!) and really couldn't even tell you why I stopped using it. |

Now here's my setup:
VLC for videos; DVD, VCD, MPG more... (the best thing about this is, its free). Quicktime Alternative - Uses media player classic to play .mov .3gp and more Real Alternative - Uses media player classic to play real media. DivX Lite - the codec only installer Xvid - the codec only installer Now you can almost play anything, and these stuffs are super light weight programs! Codec-Packs are not recommended, they screw up video editing programs and other media players. |

I am using Quicktime for lots of stuff and using iTunes as a music player. Problem I have is getting the Classic Rock and Roll I like. Hard to find 8 tracks converted to mp3's...

Winamp FTW!
Here are the reasons why... Winamp sits there on a small piece of my screen playing my music. It works well with internet radio. What more do I want. It doesn't want to take over my life like MSplayer, it doesn't try to deluge me with advertising like RealPlayer. It produces playlists for my iRiver. OK it doean't rip, but I would rather use dedicated software for that. It has great skins and visualisations. Fully customisable, plays almost every audio format. A vast number of radio stations and streaming music all for free. Fully skinable very light on cpu usage(When minimised uses less than 3%) Very good Media Library. Plugins extend functionally even further. Windows Media Player...most of the screen you don't even need. Media Players are emant to do one thing: play music, and that's what it does. Sure it's a bit slow opening up, but other than that, it owns! |
