Needs Great Media Player!? Anyone?

[Gman_Link]

I need a media player that can play both .flac and .mkv files, such as VLC player. However this player must have an interface, like iTunes or WMP, and shouldn't be very laggy like Winamp (Laggy when I'm uploading a few thousand songs and movies to the media player library.

I really don't like using iTunes because it can't play .flac, .mkv, .avi and doesn't even store them in the library. It seems to me that iTunes only stores .mp4/mpeg4 or .mp3 files, which seriously limits my music/movie library.

Media Player Classic Home Cinema?

I don't think it can play .mkv files.
I don't think it has a "library" interface either.

I've used media classic player and it's similar to vlc in terms of appearance. Both are just players, not "music library" players, if you will.

Yes, it can if you install ffdshow (I'm not sure this is a requirement, but it probably is).

I don't think it has a "library" interface either.

That I can't help you with

BS.Player? Maybe Gom - fantastic video player although there is some dispute on it's .flac capabilities.
jetAudio?

Can any of those players play flac and mkv files?
Do they have an interface similar to that of iTunes or WMP?

I second that too. GOM hasn't let me down on either of those formats.

Ok, well creating playlists is great and all, but I'd prefer to have a library like iTunes, for the sake of organization and ease of access to all my media files.

use the Km media player

I have no intention of offending, but I'm trying to find a media player with an interface like this.



The essentials is the "library" list and the selection panel on the let side.

I see that KM player, really a ton of players have "PlayLists," but are there any add-ons for these playlists? Like adding album art, rating, editing ID3 tags, etc.
