Which programs do you use to play music? What about videos?
I use Winamp 2.91 for music and Media Player Classic for videos. But I'm getting annoyed at 2.91 sometimes, and wouldn't mind some useful alternatives - especially if they have a good library system, since I use my library a lot.
I just use WMP, and was thinking of changing to Winamp when I get a new computer, but I don't know if it's really worth it. Is it worth the hassle changing from Media Player?
i used to use WMP for everything but i dled a trailer for advent children and my comp had some problems so i dled real player and i use that for video files now
Winamp 5.09 Pro for music, VLC Media Player for video.
WMP for videos and iTunes for music.
Winamp 5.something for music, WMP for videos
Do you ever have any problems with it? Pros/Cons?Quote:

Windows: Winamp 5.09 for music, MPC for video
Linux: XMMS for music, MPlayer for video
Winamp and WMP for music/vidoes
DivX for certain trailers
Realplayer for videos that can only be played through it.
Quiktime for some other trailers
and Musicmatch for some music.
No hassle. In fact, I'd imagine it's much more of a hassle waiting for WMP's ridiculous load times for its over-bloated interface.Quote:

I refuse to download any sort of Real software just to view some horribly compressed video on the Internet.
If I had to input the information for a song in WMP (say, it came from a mixed burned CD-R so I couldn't download the information), that wouldn't carry over to Winamp, would it? I don't think I've done that too often, so maybe it doesn't really matter, but it was part of my hesitation to switch.
I use Windows Media Player for everything. No complaints at all.
Yeah, it's all written into the file, so any program that opens it can read the tags you've given it.
I use winamp 3. I'm stubborn and don't like the way that winamp2/5 look so while I have them both installed, I don't use either ^_^
I don't watch many videos, but usually they just open in another session of winamp3.
Winamp 2 for music, Winamp 5 for everything else.
Winamp 5 but i also use Music Match for music
Media player real player and divx for movies and stuff oh at times Nero
Just installed Winamp 5.09 using the classic style (since I love the 2.91 look) and it's working a charm so far, and the library actually fixed the problems that 2.91 had. Yay.
Now to finally sort out those playlists... I hate going through 2400+ songs. :(
I use Quicktime for videos because it makes me want to kill myself less than WMP or RealPlayer. I'd try something else except I don't enjoy watching videos on my computer enough to bother finding another program and download it.
Music programs are a lot less suicide-inducing.
WMP Version 10.o or X or Super Mega Editipn or something.
Hmm... Nero Showtime, for almost everything. WMP's ok too.
I switched to WinAmp from WMP recently out of nothing else but sheer boredom. I don't have a problem with either.
Winamp, DivX player and RealAlternative.
God bless you RealAlternative, may you forever boon the internet with you resource-light presence.

Winamp.
It's awesome. I can't imagine using anything else. I especially like monkey-proofing my desktop with specific band playlists so my friends won't whine about not being computer literate enough to work Winamp. I would use Windows Media Player but it messes with the way I have my taskbar setup (I have it set to be 3 bars high, and everytime I use Windows Media Player it sets it to 2 bars). Plus I haven't found an mIRC script with WMP support.
You use mIRC? why don't I associate you with #eoff? @__@@;;;
ZeZipster used to be my xD line counter back in the day.
He got k-lined. I found a WMP mIRC script.
Everyone seems to be these days. Did you now? I'm too lazy to find an actual script, and no one seems to script for winamp3 anyways.
foobar2000 is superior. especially when that bum "o_O" whores his elitist scripts/skins out to me.
