I use ITunes for music, Zoom Player for video, MPC for Real files (with Real Alternative codec), and PowerDVD for DVD's.
-
Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack
-
Rhapsody for my music subscription service, and JetAudio to play my OGG and FLAC files.
-
I use VLC for almost everything.
I have quicktime alternative to play qt files.
I have JetAudio Free for RealPlayer files (because Media Player Classic won't stream ram files and RealPlayer Free is full of ad/spyware). -
- iTunes here. I have 1.5gb of ram so I don't care about memory problems. I switched to this from winamp when I got my first ipod just a month back.
- Media Player classic for videos (with klite mega codec packs and realplayer and quicktime plugins).
- HP's quickplay for DVD movies. Who needs powerdvd hehe.
winamp 2.91 is great on pentium3 machines. highly recommend for them to use that instead of winamp5 or itunes to all ow them to multitask. -
audio:
foobar2000 http://tinyurl.com/z5b7
neat and powerfull, just the way i like it;
video:
mplayer http://tinyurl.com/pbhfd
command line video player, does not require additional codec-packs;
and i couldn't be more happy... well, actually i could... i just need to figure out how to play dvd's with mplayer but it's not a big issue since i watch dvd _very_ rarely;
greetings -
iTunes for music, WMP and DivX for videos.

iTunes and WMP 11
-
WMP 11 right now. Have tried a varety of other players and they all had serious problems. From crashing or resource hogs to not playing a file, then 5 mins later playing it just fine.
will try Quint. -
There's no Media Player Classic on the list? MPC with the .rm and quicktime addon is probably by far one of the best media players out there.
-
VLC is the best
-
I barely use it but Windows Media Players. I don't use it a lot because my desktop has no sound
. I think it is because, I took it to get repaired at this computer place and I am 99% sure they took stuff out. My computer seemed different right after I got it from them but I could do nothing .
but yeah WMP is aite.
-
VLC definintely is the best, it will play pretty much anything you throw at it!

I used to use WinAmp, and than on to VLC Player (for audio and video), but now I've left VLC to video only and use:
Foobar 2000 -
Real player
-
I use iTunes for music (as I'm an iPod mini owner and it's so terribly hassle-free) and Media Player Classic for video.
-
I got fed up with all the different players for different purposes and decided on
VLC plus the quicktime alternative and real alternative plus a codec pack. Got rid of all the rest.

I vote for VLC, it's simple and it plays about everything under the sun.
-
i use itunes for music, but i use winamp for videos

iTunes for music and VLC for video/dvd

I recently switched back to iTunes because all my audio is .AAC Apple format.
-
Windows Media Player 10 for me.
-
VLC for my vids and sony's sonicstage for my music. Both work really well.
-
I use Winamp for my music, but WMP 10 for pretty much everything else.
-

VLC.
Yup. -
iTunes for music and VLC for video.
-
WinAmp for music, anything for videos
-
iTunes for music and mostly Nero Media Player (because it set itself to default) for video files.
-
Winamp for audio, VLC for video
-
Wish VLC player would work with my i9300 media buttons though -
Voted others:
MediaPlayerClassic (video) & foobar2000 (solely for music) -
MPC and iTunes.
VLC to play .bin files, sometimes. -
I love WMP 11.
-
VLC for videos, and windows media 10 for music.
-
Yo moderators, this should be a sticky =P

Im using VLC and WMP.
-
Media Monkey and winamp 2.x. it runs so much cleaner than itunes or WMP and it transfers songs to my creative zen so much faster.
-
Itunes Baby!
-
ive gotten fed up with itunes being so slow and taking up too much of my resources. love the interface though...if only it was leaner
-
@ above ^ Even on the 2nd ancient desktop with 256mb ram, I find iTunes to breeze along
-
to clarify, iTunes loads slow once you have a library in the 30gb range on a 5400 rpm hard drive. Also, on average it takes up about 40mb of my ram and up to about 15% of cpu power in sporadic spikes. I just prefer winamp 2.x taking up 5 megs of ram and no processing power.
-
I use WMP 11 now. I used iTunes on my old laptop, but switched when Media Player 11 came out. It has so many more options, already integrated into Windows, and it allows my to sync with my PSP. I did use Sony SonicStage for a while due to the PSP and Atrac3Plus gives VERY good sound quality for the size. But then I reformatted and found out that all my music on my PSP would not transfer over to the new XP copy. I was severely upset and have not used SonicStage since.
-
Media Player Classic with CCCP Codec. Best combo possible as it plays every file imaginable and support H264 encoding. YAY! VLC as backup for thoes pesky corrupt videos.
-
I love the looks of WMP 11, but I like the way iTunes works, everything seems simpler and neater on iTunes. The only thing is that iTunes doesn't seem to fit in to the rest of the Windows programs.
