Hi, Which media player do you all recommend?

[PlayeR]

Hi,
I just wanted to know which media player you recommend?
I am currently using WMP but I can tranfer songs to iPod with it.

I want to manage my iPod too with it. are there any?. I know that with iTunes or winamp, you can transfer song to your iPod but any other media player support iPod too?
I prefer if it's lightweight and does not require too much resource. like RAM or your hardisk

[db_la_23]

use VLC r KM media player

[PlayeR]

do they support ipod?
for play songs or video? or both

[tonystark]

kmplayer

[RedRansom]

bsplayer for general media files
powerdvd for dvds
winamp for mp3&flac but i am usually listening flac nowdays:P

[db_la_23]

KM player plays both video and audio

[Roooney]

Use Winamp for music and VLC for videos:)

[optimus78]

winamp for music- for movies bsplayer

[chincha´s]

i use and recommend to u:KMPlayer, great player music,video, very nice player

[thegoof]

vlc: www.videolan.org/ (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/www.videolan.org/vlc)vlc (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/www.videolan.org/vlc) This video player will play anything you throw at it. It does not play realplayer, but I try to avoid that format.

Winamp/Foobar2000: www.winamp.com (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/www.winamp.com) www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=winamp (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=winamp) www.foobar2000.org (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/www.foobar2000.org) These audio players make most people happy. Usually, I use an old version of winamp, 2.95, because it does everything I need it to do without the bloat. Some people seem to be happy with 2.81. Foobar has some useful plugins for ipod management..

[PlayeR]

Ok, thank you all for the info.

I have a question here. I tried to sync my iPod with Mediamonkey, I transfer few songs
but the problem is the song arent visible when I unplugged the ipod from my pc.
there is no song in the ipod. anyone know why?

[db_la_23]

u have to use i tunes

[PlayeR]

I did. but still no song visible.

[Cabalo]

for videos, i've tried thousands of them, and only one really suits me: GOM Player. (http://www.gomplayer.com/main.html)

for MP3 Libraries etc: http://www.musikcube.com/

i recommend media player classic it handles all formats including real, quicktime, h264, matroska and others- with the correct codecs. i also like foobar because of this skin (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=65251&pid=582381&mode=threaded&show=&st=&). but the thing is mpc is so small and tidy so thats why i recommend it.

[succubus]

kmplayer or GNU mplayer or VLC

Ya I hate when you switch to a different player and all the associations get fucked up so I just use win classic but PowerDvd for watching my dvd's . :happy:

[thegoof]

Give ol itunes a shot or if you want to try an opensource alternative try songbird (songbirdnest.com) Did mediamonkey recognize your ipod? You could try rockbox-ing (rockbox.org) your ipod, but make sure you have the right ipod! This will make it drag-n-drop and does other useful items. It will drain your battery more rapidly though.

[grimms]

I use Zoom Player (Home Max) for mkv & WMV files and VLC for everything else has far as video. For audio I use Xion (With custom skins).

[mrbear]

i always use media player classic with klitecodepack, can read almost any file

[BubbAblack]

winamp for music and bsplayer for movies

[kj0r]

mplayer classic

[Creeping Death]

Tried out KM media player after seeing this and I must say VLC runs much smoother on my(slightly antiquated) system.

Sticking with VLC, and will recommend you use that.

[Funkin']

I use KMPlayer. Since it's the only one that will run .mkv's(720p) on my computer without any stuttering or audio sync issues. Well...that's on the Windows side. Now that I have Linux maybe other players will be able to play .mkv's without issue. I'll have test MPlayer, VLC, etc.

[Revol]

I use the K-Lite Code Pack and it works great. Having no problems at all with playing HD material. VLC works also pretty good too and I use it sometimes aswell.

[FX2908]

Foobar for music and Media Player Classic for video :)

Best ever.

[DanceCreation]

just the WMP 11 - and download the new codecks pack . that's the best package .

[harim08]

kmplayer plus

[saulin]

K-Lite Code Pack+CoreAVC H.264 Video Codec Professional+Windows Media Player play everything!

[ecug]

BSPlayer + HD codecs and your runing....:)

[sunajk]

For Music - Winamp
For Movies - VLC

[sotv]

I Use Neuview Professional for all 720p mkv files and where possible watching footy streaming, or BsPlayer if Neuview won't play stream.

Don't need to do this if watching directly on my laptop but if watching through TV the Neuview allows me to control the brightness and contrast of picture showing on the TV.

Which no other player can do that I have found (will probably be proved wrong) as I was always having problems with White and Reds being way to bright when watching 720p mkv programmes on my Sony TV and couldn't really affect picture control through Sony's own control panel. But this has solved it nicely.

[ketan]

in order
1- Gom Player,
2- VLC
3-Media Player 09

[Smithy]

MPlayer with the K-Lite Codec Pack. :)

[RD22S]

vlc for all sorts of video files
foobar for flac
itunes for mp3

[soldier83]

vlc and kmplayer are two best media players for both audio and video

[JackLand]

Media Player home Cinema with dxva internal codecs, this program uses the dxva form the video card

[mwang27]

Most definitely VLC. It can pretty much play any file type that you may have video-wise. For music, it depends on preferences more than anything else.

[vlada]

i use bs player for movies and winamp for music

[mansour]

I m using a a classic media player for all
I like it really

[ice76]

kmplayer
smplayer
potplayer

you may want to try these

[natedogg]

Use winamp, that is the best

[FX2908]

Foobar and Media Player Classic. :) Can't beat the speed of them.

[Saffy12190]

I recommend VLC media player,very good intotal.

[cap87]

Use foobar, its very light and customizable ;)

[s_player]

I like GOMPlayer, but it has some problems with subtitles
KMPlayer is also good player

[callas]

I recommend foobar play music.
