Alternatives To Windows Media Player

[Bodge!]

Are there any alternatives to WMP?

Itunes is out of the question.

Just getting bored of it!

 

[Jordi17]

Realplayer?

 

[Ian]

Winamp or Songbird from memory, but I use iTunes so not had a lot of experience with any other for a couple of years.

 

[guysy]

Not really an alternative? But i use Zoom player, Good for vlc files, films etc.

 

[Andy.]

Winamp for music, VLC for videos. I still always come back to WMP though.

 

[McBunny]

so far nothing great has been mentioned and as for real player its laughable

video Player Kmplayer with core avc and ffdshow
audio foobar / winamp

 

[m4rkie23]

VLC. by a mile!

 

[Sam]

VLC and itunes!

 

[David]

winamp

 

[MDP91]

winamp

 

[McBunny]

forgot to add with foobar use either wasapi ( with vista/windows7) or asio (for xp)

this will give you bit perfect output

 

[Munson]

VLC.

 

[Lee]

VLC or Windows Media Player Classic.

 

[McBunny]

so no one cares about the quality then

 

[David]

surely you're more limited by the quality of your mp3s and your hardware than the player itself?

 

[McBunny]

to an extent but what the plug-in does is talk directly to the sound card without involving windows basically so no dsp or re sampling happens

but yes put s**t in get s**t out

but with certain setups you but s**t in and get even shiter s**t out

 

[McBunny]

but FLAC all the way

 

[David]

lol

 

[winko]

MediaMonkey. Done.

 

[24Seven]

MediaMonkey. Done.

This ^ plus VLC.

Be even better when they figure out how to get it working with the iphone 3.0 OS

 

[safe9998]

VLC.

+1! Plays just about anything

 

[Ian]

It's not really an alternative to WMP though, there's no library is there? I use it a lot too, but unless I'm missing something it's not great for keeping everything in one place.

 

[nosey-bonk]

VLC rocks

 

[iain187]

so no one cares about the quality then

anyone who knew what those acronyms were probably already has a good setup... :rasp:

 

[Aluco]

VLC / Winamp

IMO.

 

[Mesa]

I use VLC exclusively for videos (skinned) and WinAmp exclusively for music.

VLC is the daddy though.

 

[cableguy]

Media player classic for vid. Winamp for music

VLC has playlists.

I use winamp for playing music though.

Stick with WMP11 and install the codecs you need.

Job done.

 

[Mesa]

WMP sucks ass
