    I'm assuming you're talking about mp4 audio files, so I'd give foobar2000 a go.

    Are you asking which player takes the least memory? Probably MPC with the codecs required to play MP4's.

    media player classic with a codec pack
    i figure out it's even better than Power DVD, particularly in playing DVD

    Any media player, as long as you have the proper codecs.
