In search of a new media player

(1/3) > >>

Synbios:
I'm looking for a new media player. I'm a long time user of windows media player, but I am very disappointed with where it is heading now (the new version is HORRIBLE)

The new version doesn't show the artists and tracknames like it used to, never tells you the length of a playlist, and the entire playlist system is messed up in general, nevermind the fact that it uses TONS of resources.

I really like the setup of itunes. But I want something clean and to the point with none of those crap ipod running processes in the background and iTunes helper.

I hate winamp too. It's too small.

Anybody know a player similar to itunes? Or a site that has some reviews of some of the unknown media players?

billyfridge:
Have you tried 'VLC media player' Syn? l find it very good, it plays almost everything, and doesen't search for licences.......haven't got a link, just google it ;)

oh...and it's free...lol

TheNightWatchman:
VLC is excellent for movies but it doesn't keep a library so I doubt it would be what Syn wants... I do use VLC a lot though and is worth getting for anyone who doesn't have it.

Quantum:
VLC in this house is known as the back-up media player, it plays and does everything, it just doesn't have a very good user interface.

I don't really use media players in the same way you do, so I can only suggest the usual ones, mplayer, zoom player, winamp, etc..

Synbios:
I've used VLC it does play everything but I use a media player whenever I'm on my computer. I want something a bit nicer looking.
