What music library/MP3/etc player do you use?

**synthesis204** · Jun 27, 2011, 04:31 AM

I was bored and got curious -- what do the members of HH use for video/audio files?

I am personally a really big VLC fan -- I have thousands of video files on my computer (yargh, matey) in dozens of formats, so it's a convenience thing (:

As for music, I use MediaMonkey3 -- similar to iTunes, with compatibility for Android and such. And it's free, ofc.

i relly hate music nowerdays there is nothing original or inspiring.. and when I do listen to music its usually on WMP that comes with Windows 7

cow, you should check out After Hours FM, or AH FM for short, its the best trance/dance/progressive station I've ever heard. You'll love it.

ah fm Radio Stations - Free Internet Radio

For music I use iTunes, all my music is in aac format.

For video I use different programs, everything from Windows Media Player to the divX media player. I mostly stream videos so most of the time I don't use a player.

For video files and single audio filles, VLC.
For audio playlists, foobar2000

Same here on both counts.

PC - Winamp for music (it really kicks the Llama's ass). I use either WMP or MPC for videos utilising the codecs of CCCP.
Portable - my phone. My last phone was used as an MP3 player (in addition to a phone) too.

I use VLC as well, great player, never could figure out a way to include the player list into the player unfortunately.

For music I use iTunes, for my iPod (I have one of those iPod antiquity, almost 5-6 years old I think, 80 GB, my oldest technologic possesion

)

I use MPC-HC for videos, MKVs, AVIs and MP4s. I never use anything else, it is lightweight and has all the options I could need. The only slight niggle is that thumbnails are not created for MKV files but this is a Windows thing which will probably be addressed in Windows 8.

For music I use WMP - no need to install anything else IMO.

WMP

It works.

Different story when I'm mixing and editing, but that's not what was asked.

For music, I'm with Takaharu.

I like the UI (especially for its customisability) and the breadth of options. There's something about WMP I just don't like, and besides, iirc it doesn't play .flac files.

And this for videos

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema x64, if anyone was unsure about the acronym. It's light, unobtrusive and plays anything.

As for portable, playing music or video on the move has never appealed to me. The only portable computing devices that I own are USB sticks and a Nokia brick.
