What media player do you use?

If you use iTunes is it because you have an iPod or do you have a different mp3 player and use a different media player because of that?

Windows Media Player 11 beta. Infact I am using beta on most everything on this S.A.S. (Serial Attachment S.C.S.I.) drive.

We need to implement a discussion board on Windows Vista vs. OpenSuseXGL (http://dl.tv/blogs/digitallifetv/archive/2006/06/22/14230.aspx.

I have dedicated a single drive to Vista and now looking to partition that drive to install LinuxSuSE. Need to compare and have fun with.  ;D

iTunes is wonderful. Perfect. Beautiful. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Honestly, I just like using it.  It is bigger, nicer, and easier than any other player you listed. Heck, I don't even have an IPod and I like using it.

I use musicmatch.
It's crap... it just sorts the music in a great way.
If anyone knows a music player that sorts its music like this:



Tell me!

Try using Windows Media Player 11. I still need more time in tweaking WMP11 and it does a great job on categorizing both video & audio files. But at face value there still may a few glitches but all in all it's fine for me.

I bought Winamp Pro years ago, did every update, but l was never happy with it, and it's worse still after the latest update.

l use VLC Media player, it plays everything without faffing about looking for licences and stuff.
l gave my buddy a certain type of file ;) on a cd, he rang me,and said his media player wouldn't play it, l told him to download VLC, and it played no trouble.

funny thing happened when l updated WMP recently,....l put all my Robbie Williams MP3's in a folder, and play them regularly so l know which song is coming next if you see what i mean, so can you imagine my surprise when two songs came on that l haden't heard before.....VLC player must have been missing them, and WMP found them :)

I use that for video files now, WMP would always lag for the first 30 seconds, VLC is great.

I use iTunes coz my sister has an iPod and I like coz it's easy to manage your library and stuff.
But I use Winamp to play a track or file coz iTunes takes longer to load.
And Media Player Classic from K-lite, for almost every video file.

Musicmatch for all my audio including transferring old songs from vinyl and tape.Superb!!!
Windows Media Player if you keep up to date and add all the video codecs is hard to beat.
cheers

WMP 11 Beta is bundled with just about every codec out on the market, much like you would find with K-Lite - if not just install K-Lite.

NW, you mentioned wanting to know if any other media players can organize like that.
