Which media player do you use?

[Geekling]

I've been using winamp for years now. I think its time for me to find something new.

Any suggestions?

In windows, Foobar2000 for music and sasami2k for videos.

In linux, xmms for music, and mplayer for videos.

 

[Geekling]

I would like to have one to play all.

 

[Crusty]

WMP will play all types of media, so will winamp.

I think there are plugins for foobar2000 to play videos as well.

 

[Geekling]

I was never found of WMP. I know winamp covers them all. I just want something new.

I'll look into foobar2000.

Windows Media Player, as far as I know, STILL will not let you play one track of multiple in an OGM file... it always plays every audio track ALL AT ONCE... no thanks, I don't need to hear english and japanese at the same time.

I use Media Player Classic. and Winamp... Media Player Classic will play any audio file too, but I still use Winamp for SHOUTcast although MPC might do that too now.

I use iTunes for audio and The Core Media Player for all video.

This is after years of using WinAmp for Audio and MPC for video (used BS player for a while until it turned into BS for OGM and MKV files).

jetAudio plays everything.

 

[clamum]

Winamp for audio and Media Player Classic for video.

 

[KoolDrew]

foobar for music, Media player classic for video.

 

[murphy55d]

BSPlayer for video, Winamp for audio

 

[yezhou]

Winamp 2.8 for audio, and VLC for video.

 

[Geekling]

I just tried using winamp to view a video I just downloaded...it wouldn't

Then my computer started screwing up lol...looked like I had a virus...but I scanned it before I tried to open it.

Its all good now. I have the file deleted and everything is normal again.

Have to admit.. I must be a noob. I use Windows Media for all my needs.

It's fine if you play certain files, again, I only went away from it because it can't handle multiple audio tracks.

the only thing I use WMP for these days is for playing DVDs, as TCMP sucks w/ DVD playback, while WMP is actually pretty darn good at it. FOr everything else video, TCMP kicks WMP's butt to and far past the curb.

 

[jadinolf]

WMP 10.

I don't do much media stuff.

 

[Childs]

VLC for video. music is either Media Player or iTunes, depending on which OS I'm in.

 

[Frodolives]

Winamp for audio, WMP, BS & Cyberlink PowerDVD for video. Quicktime and Real Alternative when necessary *sigh*

I do kind of like this guy's audio player for it's simplicity though! I'm tempted to try it, but I also sometimes require FLAC. His does however support mp3, ogg, wav, wma and midi, and is clean freeware.

Did anyone else use Xenorate? I liked it's performance and features as an "all in one" media player, but they seemed not to ever update it.

 

[effee]

WMP. But i prefer winamp

 

[powerMarkymark]

VLC for video and WMP for Mp3s.

M@rc

 

[Schadenfroh]

WMP 10, i really like this version of WMP

I use Nero Mix for listening to music. It has an equalizer which makes a huge difference in sound quality.
