hey assgoblin, you dont have to have DRM on, just turn uncheck the tickbox and its gone. stupid opensource FUD monkey.


i use WMP9 and i like it for many reasons including the easy ripping ability, album art, and the mini toolbar player.

You're SURE that's all there is to it? I still use WMP 6.4 but other than that I stay away. LAME rips crush anything else.

I'm positive. and WM9 lossless owns all. Its a one step rip that rips and encodes everything with album art.

I use WM9 sometimes, but I mainly use Winamp 5 now.

iTunes for mp3s
Winamp for random sound files
Zoom Player for videos, much more adjustable than WMP.

 

[Nitemare]

Winamp for audio
WinDVD for avi and dvd's


media player loads hella faster than either loading, but it's useless beyond rudimentary options

striclty video. but 80% of the time i use BSPlayer for video

foobar for audio.

AOL is more evil then MS. you are an AOL luver.

Fair enough, AOL is more evil than MS, but MS is a close second

I only use WMP for playing avi's and mpg's.

nothin else.

 

[Aharami]

havent tried WMP 9 yet. just switched to winamp 5 with the MMD skin. lovin it!!!

 

[phreakah]

i use it for everything. works just fine

 

[moonshinemadness]

I hate it, it sucks, to complex, i like drag and drop and nice visualisations and plugins...it sucks

 

[Schadenfroh]

i only use wmp9

 

[igowerf]

I use it every once in a while. When I installed Winamp 5, I think I associated it with all my video files.

 

[PookyBoy]

Never use it. I installed it only for the codecs. Zoom Player + Winamp5 is all I use now.

 

[MagicianBdotCom]

I like how it has easy access to playlists and the various different ways you can search for songs (by artist, playlists, albums, all songs, etc). The only thing I don't like is that it's also a video player because when I'm listening to music then watch a video, it stops the music and I have to go back and find it once the video is over.

I use WMP 9...

I miss Winamp's visualizations, but last I saw they didn't support surround sound/multispeaker output.

 

[DukeFan21]

I use WMP for CDs and DVDs...Winamp 5 for my MP3s and Media Player Classic for videos
