well, Microsoft you can play just about anything, music and video both. But for MP3, I prefer MusicMatch.

How can you have a Media Player Showdown and forget the 2 best players EVAR?!

Those being BSPlayer and VLC.

Edit: And there's another for linux thats really good, but I can't remember the name of it...

Well, for music, itunes would be my favorite, but it is too much of a resource hog for me, so I vote winamp.

Video, def BSplayer.

I used ITUNES even before I got my Ipod. I just like it more than Winamp. I was a big Winamp supporter for a long time but the newer versions just annoy me. I really dig ITUNES and it rocks even more now that I have my IPOD and it auto-syncs for me.

I used to use winamp for everything, but lately i've been using wmp.

Winamp is better for mp3's, where as windows media player is better for everything else imo

i absolutly hate iTunes. Not just because of the actual software, it wasn't bad at all. But even after i uninstalled it there are still things that randomly run in the backround which pisses me off.

Are you thinking of XMMS or Mplayer?



I vote iTunes. It doesn't give me any crap, except when a disc is damaged. Also, I take full advantage of shuffling/random features like Party Shuffle.

for the ipod, i really reccomend ephpod www.ephpod.com


you can take all of your music off your computer, and not worry, as you can put it back on with ephpod and your ipod.

for media.... i like wmp

for music transfering, its ephpod

for any thing else i guess its itunes?

Here is the reason I <3 WMP. I know that most players either come with this type os skin or has one made for it, but I haven't found a skin that even comes close to this one (it's SleekMPv3 btw). I don't use my media player for much more than watching videos and listening to music, so WMP is perfect for me. I don't like the music library though, but that doesn't matter because I use the nifty little toolbar in the bottom right corner (it says Music, it has all of my mp3s in it, alphabetical order). My vote: WMP
