I want to know which is the best media player in your opinion. I mainly play MP3s and sometimes videos. I currently use WMP 10 and RealPlayer. I have started using foobar2000 from today. What are your opinions?

VLC plays everything, but for HD in VLC u need a really good PC, I like windows player that comes in windows media center edition. Cyberlink PowerDVD is good also
KM player is the best.
Media Player Classic is the best media player to date. Highly recommended. {I}{K}{E} posted an update to the K-Lite Codec Pack here. This comes with Media Player Classic and enough codecs to play everything on this earth. Highly recommended.
In theory VLC is best because it can play anything and everything. I've always used WMP from 9 up and always liked it. Just install a good codec pack (like the K-lite mega codec pack) and you should be alright :)
i use WMP 11 but have the k-lite merga codec pack installed.
works for me
i prefer windows media player but then again you have to get codecs and stuff where i just use vlc for that
media player was slow and always crashed, but i never tried it on my new pc
1. VLC
2. and try this : http://www.gomplayer.com/ :)
My Winamp can play most videos and audio. Sometimes I use VLC for some videos.
I use MPC for movies and TV shows.
I like WMP 11 for audio.
when you need to open many kinds of files you need VLC and media player classic
if for movies I prefer rela player and DIVX
VLC for me too. Can play any avi(dvix, xvid) and special format like ogm, mkv.. Play also directly .iso dvds and from hdd.. video_ts/audio_ts folders.
i use bsplayer and vlc
Vlc

Contains many codecs (Better than k-lite codec pack) and two players: Media Player Classic, and Zoomplayer.
VLC is good, but handles many files terribly. The scanning tends to be bad, it takes a long time to load sometimes, and is just inferior for the regular avi or mkv.
For music, foobar2000.
for most files: media player classic - it's the most streamlined player to date, combining some very advanced options like filter management for advanced users with some know-and-love options like "save image" and "full screen" for beginners too. where are the visualizations? exactly. less emphasis on eye candy and more emphasis on media playing
for files that don't play in mpc(because the codec is missing): vlc
for mp3's only: 1by1 - because it's directory based, does a very good job of mimicking a standalone cd player. the feel of a real cd player is complimented by the "repeat" feature, which will repeat only one song or the entire directory just like a cd player. tiny footprint, i often leave this program running in the background when installing large apps with no ill effect to date. makes playlists feel like they are a waste of time(they are)
fyi, i found winamp to be farty and bloated. according to some side by side tests on my box, the same file in winamp took 3 to 4 times(est.) as much memory to run as 1by1. i don't remember the side by side test with mpc but i would guess mpc is more efficient than winamp.
Edit: i recommend version 1.47 of 1by1 over the newer version(s)
People swear by VLC. I never cared for it. for video i use wmp and mp3 i use winamp
VLC for me.
Personally I use VLC because it plays everything. My only complaint is that the program is ugly and the skins don't work well.
Windows Media Player 11 is the best one so far...
winamp, Winamp, WINAMP! It really whips the llama's ass. (for music anyway) It has an awesome searchable media library and allows you to edit the metadata of mp3's very easily and w/o stopping the song.
For video, I use either winamp or media player classic. I'd suggest you get the combined community codec pack and install. It will install codec to play probably any media file you come across. It also installs Media Player Classic.
VLC and only VLC :P
gomplayer
