Media Players
 

I'm curious to see what people prefer as their media player, I use Windows Media Player quite a bit, probably by default although I do have Nero as well. I can't complain about it, but there are some aspects of WMA that I could do without. What do you use and why?

Dear WP

I will use any media player that will work with what I am trying to play.

Ahhhh, taking the path of least resistance, are we?! LOL!

I use iTunes ( or Windows Media player if I absolutely must). Mainly i listen via iPod and the iTunes is perfect for feeding it. I failed to find anyway of creating/saving/using a playlist with windows media, but I didn't try very hard, and maybe it does not work as it should on a Mac

I use iTunes for music and either VLC or mplayer for movies, using something else is a crime :D

I personally prefer RealPlayer for both videos and music.:D

i like my winamp :D

A couple of weeks ago we got Nero and it's become one of my favorite media players for videos.;)

I,ve been trying JRiver media center for a while now, seems to fit my bill, everything in one place. Try it. :)

Im using Media Player Classic, so simple and full of codec

Bsplayer and wniamp

I rely on Windows Media Player 9x only for everything including videos. With the right codecs installed, Media Player is awesome :)

I avoid MS Real Media One at all costs & QuickTimes since it became Itunes.

I use WMP most of the time and like Ukbob a host of others if it suits my needs.

Interesting to see everyones choices

I use VLC at the moment, not mastered getting codics for Media player yet.

music players for newbies
 

(1) realplayer, easy to use: good for organizing, listening or ripping, and burning. i organize all music here.
(2) windows media player, fairly easy: not so easy to import, great for submitting compilations, or obscure albums. excellent mini-player. my listening player.
(3) rhapsody, easy to use: doesn't hold on to files if you move them around, easy to listen or burn. i listen to D L here.
(4-5) I-Tunes & Nero, don't use either yet, but i'm trying.

Re: music players for newbies
 

Do you find the Nero player difficult to use?:confused:

I use for audio: iTunes & Audion.
Video: VLC & at times QuickTime Pro.
Audio Streaming: Both VLC & iTunes.
Video " " : Depends on format. It might include wmp, vlc, rp, qt, etc.

Again, I may use a range of players for different purposes, including some not mentioned here. eg: mplayer, wire tap, audio hijack, etc.
blah blah & converters or go-betweens.

For windows: dBpowerAMP, WinAmp, Quintessential all have their merits!!! QCD being open source which is a major plus & should be supported. LW is open source remember, as is vlc, mplayer, audacity, etc.

Quicktime alternative for video, haven't come across a file I couldn't play with it yet. ;)
QCD or WMP For audio

nero
 

cyber.
nero was originally installed for doing videos, so i haven't really looked in it to see how it works. don't guess it's for newbies like me tho. my secondary "guru" put it in, she's not here to use it or show me how.

what i do use out of it is the nero cover design. that part i do like. i make alot of my own compilations, hence the need for covers.

a friend just got an ipod, since i have the music i put it in my comp. now i'm learning about the i-tunes. i got the music in, and have been listening to her ipod. :)
