I have actually forced myself to like Windows Media Player 11, the best !!! That is because , most people in my locality use Windows based computers. And very few out of those opt for third party media players .

So, to make me feel at home most of the time, i prefer using windows media player. Saying that, I should say Windows Media player is not short of features !!! It does give me some painful hours whenever i try out a new media format.

The only bad thing about windows media player is its bundled codecs. They are not sufficient enough. But once we install a third party codec pack such as the K-Lite codec pack, things should be fine.

Also, windows media player is not good when it comes to playing partially downloaded media files. I am a big fan of VLC media player in this regard.

VLC player could play almost anything !! And it can play partially downloaded/corrupt media files. The problem with VLC is that, it has a bad seekbar. If only it had an interface like Windows Media Player 11, it would have definitely been the best player according to me.

Power DVD is good when it comes to watching DVD movies.

Real Player doesn't excite me much. But, I really like the rm media format. It is one of the best video compression techniques I have used to rip my movies.

I like DivX for its codec pack more than its player.

i really like windows media player 10 but not the 11. the 10 is simpler and you got all the tools you will usually need. codecs are always compatible with 10 but when the upgrade happened, it change and they added useless stuff i hate it

Well i went for Windows media player i have WMP 11 and its been messing me about too much. It wont update all the cd's i copy so there all song 1 song 2 song 3 and so on. And it wont put the album together as a album on WMP. It puts the songs on there but it will put them in different folders.

Its been like this for months.

So i downloaded WinAMP and it seems a little complicated to me. I might get used to it but its going to take time.

Does anyone have i-tunes ?? if so can you tell me if i download it can i move my files from Windows Media Player over to i-tunes ? thanks

I use a few different media players. I use Windows Media Player for general MP3 listening, but Winamp is good for listening to all those formats that Windows Media Player can't handle. Then there's iTunes, which works with your iPod. I also use Modplug Player to listen to the tracks I'm using in my MMO, as Windows Media Player nor iTunes supports them... Winamp does, but Modplug is faster and smaller I find. It all depends on your needs.

No comments, WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER is the best player ever, microsoft is the best. Media Player accept and work with all codecs.

Windows Media Player works with very few codecs. For example, most of my media is in Ogg Vorbis and Theora format, and I don't think Windows Media Player will open them. That is why I use Amarok and MPlayer - completely free is every sense of the word, and I have never found some media they can't play.
