recommended media player

yeah so windows media player is ok but i don’t think i like it anymore, what are some good media players.

there’s far too many to list try googling for “media player/s”, i dont have any i could recommend

wait what

Amarok for MP3’s, VLC for videos.

Try WinAmp for a music library.

I find iTunes is a good media player.

cool thanks i’ll try them.

Now that i’ve used Amarok for Linux, I find it very difficult to rate any of the media players available for Windows :smiley:

However, Realplayer 10 is OK I suppose. It’s a bit bloated though

Would you bother with anything after Amarok? :stuck_out_tongue:

For windows I would use Winamp, I found it the other day at work… it’s quite neat…

Windows media player? I suppose. It’s aleady there isn’t it? LOL
B O R I N G!!! :chk:

yeah i started using winamp, which i was all about in the past, but then windows media player was cool for awhile but its just kinda annoying now and bloated like everything else windows. So yeah i like it, thanks for the suggestion, also VLC was pretty nice to

The best feature in Winamp I like is their Searching tool… Press F3 and type the name of song u want. Also the keyboard keys for it easier than WMP… Its easy to remember the keys of Winamp.
z,x,c,v,b …Exactly in the way its on the winamp…
Z = previous, X = Play, C= Pause, V = Stop, B=Next…

<|(z)… >(x)…||(c)……|>(b)
Insert = Add folder…
S = shuffle,
R = Repeat…

Ofcourse, you can add lots of plugins with winamp for I/O effects… I use Enhancer for DSP effect! and other features are like u can send it to the corner exactly where ur system date time is. U can even add buttons over there also… This makes it much easier to access.

Quintessential player - great thing. It’s fast, customizable (huge amount of skins available). Several language packs… a.s.o. A intuitive GUI, keyboard shortcuts… you name it. :wink:

For windows…winamp

I’ve never heard of quintessential, I’ll have to check it out

I prefer, as others here have mentioned, vlc for video.

And, if your in windows, I recommend foobar2000 for audio. Foobar2000 is a nice, light weight audio player with great support and a good community. It is also highly customizable while it is light weight.
