What Do You Think Is The Best Media Player?

[Turd Ferguson]

I guess I'm the odd one out, because I don't really like Winamp. For my music I use WMP9 because I like the library and playlist features.

For video on the other hand I really like jetAudio because it plays just about every movie format no probs.

i use winamp 5 for all my media.
i onyl use media layer classic for real and quicktime files.
i got rid of all the crappy windows media players.

wmp and bsplayer. wmp is not buggy at all for me, and bs player sometimes says performed error, and xp tells me to send or not send. winamp 5 is the best music player

i like winamp 5 for videos, as i have tvout on my laptop, and my tv is widescreen, so i can set the screen resouloution so it will fill the whole screen, intead of the bars i would normally get.

I use mplayer and xine for linux, and bsplayer and WMP for windows.

winamp & windows media player

-For Mp3 files : Winamp ( Any version anterior to the 3 version )

-For Wav files : WMP classic ( The one you use in win98 )

-For not corrupted movies files : nPlayer ( It has a zoom feature like in the hardware DVD Players, but often fails with corrupted movies ). Some will use BS Player for not corruptedd movies, because you can switch formats (4/3,16/9), but I don't use it cos I don't like when the video gets stretched.

-For corrupted movies files : VideoLan ( Very reliable player, but doesn't have a zoom feature )

Don't forget that you'll get numerous corrupted files anyway.

PS: Don't forget to install the KLIte codec pack.

Winamp 5 [beta 2].

Supports all audio and video formats, has wonderful sound quality, very good library, supports internet tv, internet radio, has a good playlist, good export options, supports many plugins, uses a small amount of RAM (when using classic skin), supports winamp3 skins, good equalizer, great visualizations...

etc. Want to me to continue?

I use JRiver's Media Center 9.1 for many reasons. It is a great all-in-one program from music, video, and images.

A few of the highlights:

Great library structure. Fully customizable in terms of sorting and view. This is a great program is you collect full albums.

Good support for all major formats.

Great forum, where the owner of the company and the head developer are among the most active members. The take end user suggestions and requests very seriously.

Ripping/Burning is easy to use, yet sophisticated. LAME encoding is a big plus.

Awesome playlist features.

Great third party plugins and skins available and developed by other users (the little playing now thing in my sig is from a new plugin. Its a popup that can be ftp's automatically)

I could go on and on. I really love this program and highly recommend trying it out.
