Nice! I tryed another out the other day called: ZoomPlayer. I liked how it had Aspec Ratio options for many media formats, so I was able to play Lord of the Rings Two Towers screener in Full Screen mode (no black bars) and it already had a3 codec. supperB!
The audio in that rip was soo darn good. same with image qual..heh, who cares if it keep showin that small text sayin For Your Consideration

[lunatacs]

I've used many players, and I know what I say.
Real Player..? - Trash!
Media player..? - Trash!
Bsplayer and Zoomplayer are good ones. But still they can not compete with LA in speed and simplicity of interface

those are overroll the best ones out now anyway

How to say you milder?
Don't judge like that if you didn't try out everything.

I tried Light Alloy, it's pretty good.

Only problem is it doesn't allow for very good playlist management (eg. group by artist, album, etc.)

LA fully supports subtitles.
As English isn&#39;t my native language I for myself use subtitles for movies.

P.S. For audio I use winamp 2.82, as many others do.
