    Default Media playing software.

    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?

    Works like a charm, though it doesn't always like to stay on top. Other than that, no complaints.

    and Musicmatch for some music.

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    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.

    Winamp 5 for music, MPC for video.

    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.

    Yeah, it's all written into the file, so any program that opens it can read the tags you've given it.
