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.

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

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

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. :p

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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