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...
Windows media player 11.It has a really cool skin.When you minimized,it will turn into a small bar.And it support all most popular music formats..
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!
