Amarok for MP3's, VLC for videos.

Try WinAmp for a music library.

I find iTunes is a good media player.

 

[Swansen]

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 :D

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

 

[sabashuali]

Would you bother with anything after Amarok? :P

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).....[](v)......|>(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. ;)

 

[StimpE]

For windows...winamp

 

[Swansen]

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.
