What MP3 player do you use on your PC?

quarryman

Don't think this has been done recently. Just wondering what people use. I mainly use Winamp but looking around for alternatives.

I use Itunes most of the time. But Winamp 5 and Media player 9 are installed but itunes is the best.

Crucifix

Foobar

Creamy Goodness

winamp 5.09

but i'm thinking of reverting back to a eariler version as winamp 5.09 takes a lifetime to load up.

winamp 5

best media library and playlisting ive used.

Makaveli

Winamp 5.05

WMP10..

I prefer not to think about what Media Player I use. Also not a fan of using Media Librarys and prefer to navigate my music though Windows Explorer and play from there.. So WMP does what I need.

I know its not the best before someone raises issue with what I said.

WMP10, but Foobar 2000, if I wanna do other stuff, WMP10 uses alota resources

iTunes.
Started using it about 2 years ago cause of my iPod. Now with no pod its no longer necessiary but I find it better than any other player so its still there.

Ruu_Old

Winamp 2.81, been using it for ages and no need to change it.

Has anyone used iTunes extensively, and switched to WinAmp?

bennyx_o

Foorbar. IMO it's the best music player.

I did at one point. iTunes was (and probably still is) a resource hog. Plus it takes absolutely ages to import stuff across a wireless network, why I don't know - its wasn't copying the songs locally - there wasn't enough room on the laptop.

Winamp 5.x with the ml_iPod plugin is the business if you are an iPod user.

All winamp 3.x and 5.x users should upgrade to minimum version 5.08 due to a security bug.

If you are experiencing slow performance starting 5.x switch to the classic skin.

Another + is the choice of streaming media radio stations - Afterhours DJ, Proton radio, XTC Radio London, Music One if you like techno or trance, Funkmaster, Lemixx if you like funk, Club 977 if you like 80s. (PS all these require broadband + there are loads more)

foobar? cool, i'll give that a shot.

I use Winamp and have been for about 6 years. I like the media library in it too, it gives you a chance to check out new bands and videos.

quarryman

foobar is cool. very slimmed down. Is there anyway to show a list of all the artists so when i double click it all of that artist's songs play/are loaded?

angelofdeath

winamp 5 for pretty much everything, with media player classic, vlc and bsplayer installed incase winamp doesn't like something

It's Winamp 5 for me. WMP is there but I don't use it.

Winamp for Mp3's. VNC for Movies.

John

po0k

VLC surely?

Movies over VNC would suck muchly.


Winamp 5.08e for tunes, WMPC for most movies, VLC for anything I want to watch straight through or when CPU % is at a premium. Or for DVDs or wierd files (.bin images).

Lump

Indeed.... I was using VNC alot last night. But yes VLC is what I use.... My brain was elsewhere.

John

yossarin

media monkey for music - has a nice encoder and doesn't eat resources.
on the rare ocasion of movies -> wmp10

pickarooney

XMMS. It's kind of shíte but I've yet to find a decent replacement. Any suggestions welcome.

When the new Winamp came out I switched to it for about 2 weeks to try it out. Went back to iTunes though.

My advice would be to try every player out for a time and see which bests suits you.

Loobz

Winamp 5 - love the custom skins, visualisations and other plugins.

Diarmuid

winamp 5 with classic skin. Must have plugins are the ipod one, audioscrobbler and clock amp. All you need right there.

I use Slimserver too but that's because I have a squeezebox2 (one seriously kick ass piece of gear)

Infini

WMP10 for me.

airetam_storm

Not bothered but i'm a fan of WMP media library - very easy to navigate and easy on the eyes

pug_

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I use Quintessial for windows, it's fast it's free, and it does exactly what it says in the tin and does it well.

For linux it's xmms, but I don't like it and I too would be glad to hear of a good quality alternative.

Movies VLC all the way with windows, and mplayer for linux.

Sherifu

real player / wmp10 / bs player
I switch between them from work to home, pc to pc.
Sometimes I use power dvd too.

alantc

I use winamp 5 for all audio. I don't like it for video though. I just downloaded the feature I've thought winamp needed for ages

I JUST installed it so I don't know how well it works but the idea is to remove gaps between songs and make it sound more radio/DJ.

I seu moodlogic to make mixes. ITs a great program but IS NOT UPDATED anymore. It'd be great to see something like it integrated into the winamp media library.

yawn

i'm always on irc so i use nn player which runs off winamp 3/5 directory

nn player is better for searching for songs n **** with it's nifty lil search bar and then advertise away

neGev

I've been using various forms of WinAmp for years, but I'm actually in the midst of trying out Foobar2k at the minute.

Ste-

Winamp for music and VLC, mplayer for windows and windows media player for Video.

CrimE

WMP 10 does the job for me

NotMe
