Pole Media Players

[Thor.]

HI its Thor again with a large poll for the first and second time?, i can't remember when i last posted one lol.

 

Witch media player do you think is the best one out of them all ?.

 

Edit-If i missed any please post them.

 

The one i think is the best one out of them all would be Winamp, i think its quite amazing with its 5.1 surround support and its 24bit upconverting. Not to mention its Plugins.

Poll*

 

I cannot stand anything other than itunes, which is funny because I have a Zune, hate macs/apple/ect. :P

I use "media player classic" alot

[Dark0ne]

VLC media player -> Media Player Classic -> Windows Media Player

 

If one can't play the file then invariably one of the other two can.

Windows Media Player all the way!

[Arcelas]

Vlc will play virtually anything. without hunting down pesky codecs. VLC 4 Life!

I have to agree that VLC is a great media-DVD player, it plays anything and i mean that.

 

But winamp is great for Streaming audio like shoutcast and playing your mp3's. and also the visualizers are the best.

Amarok ftfw!

 

And unless any of you are linux people who use KDE, you wont have heard of it. But for music, I have yet to find anything better. :D

 

Just a shame I dont have linux on my pc anymore :(

I guess it depends on what criteria one uses to define what is best.

 

I usually use Winamp for play lists, and other long files, but have also started using an application called zoom player (http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/) for more random audio files so that it doesn't interfere with my winamp playlists. The benefit of zoom player is that it doesn't keep the last file it opened within its list when opened again, allows for limited play list options, and can also play movie files, among other things.

 

Although windows media player might be a bit better suited to playing music from CDs, I was always bugged by how it frequently called home and kept track of what files were played. Not that I listen to or download (legally or otherwise) music when I'm on my PC very often, but it's that whole "big brother" thing that bothers me.

I would say either Winamp or Itunes, depending on your needs :).
