Which media player do you use for MP3s etc?

tastyweat · Nov 24, 2003, 10:24 PM

Itunes for PC all the way for me

Creative Playcentre. Sounds better than what all i've used before, and i've used lots.

But then this is such a subjective topic. I gues only you can be the judge of wat u hear... =\

winamp 5.2

looks good and feels great

and more options and stuff

No_Style · Mar 13, 2004, 02:27 AM

For anything Audio, except for CDs..Winamp 5.02 is the player of choice for me. WMP9 is for movies. PowerDVD 5 is for DVDs and VCDs

Audio: WinAMP 2.91 for basically all types of audio, but then I almost only listen to MP3 audio too. (any CD's I buy gets coded right away, for instance)

Video: Media Player Classic for all types of video. Be it DivX, WMP9-coded, Quicktime or even RealMedia. Finding MPC was really a blessing.

I don't get why people still use the new windows media player.. It's so.. so, bloated

I use Winamp 5.03 for music and MPC for video (minimalistic is the way to go when you mulitask)

wmplayer, <12mb memory usage and <1% CPU usage, not bad for a program i have gotten used to since installing the beta version of winME in early 2000

Not talking about CPU/RAM usage, talking about the ugly graphical menys taking up half the screen. Plus automated features that don't work 50% of the time.

**dj_stick** · Jun 19, 2004, 12:20 AM

oh, well i have WMP in taskbar mode so it doesn't take up much desktop space at all

Rosco[CoF] · Jun 19, 2004, 12:31 AM

At home, I use WinAmp 5.03 for mp3's and ogg's as well as avi and mpeg's.
WMP9 is nice but seems to eat up more resources than WinAmp 5. Also use WinAmp 5for
sreaming radio stations, ay home.
Now the odd thing. At work, I cannot get ShoutCast stations using WinAmp 5, it just sits and spins.
But, I can listen to the very same stations at work perfectly, using iTunes. I still cannot figure out why though.

I use Winamp 2.9. It has all I need, especially with a few plugins, such as Software_Resampling_Output_plugin for SB Live and Winamp_KeyController.
