Media players, what do you use?

**Knight203** · 08-18-2009, 06:57 AM

I use Foobar2000 mainly because I can play FLAC files with it. I would use VLC but I like the foobar interface. What do you guys use, and what kinds of files do you play with it?

Only VLC! Sometimes Media Player Classic, because you can sharpen the video with FFDSHOW.

VLC here as wel

@ownage, the latest builds of VLC appear to have sharpening features?

**Xello** · 08-18-2009, 09:06 AM

Media player classic HC

**bot@xs** · 08-18-2009, 09:11 AM

+1 for media player classic

**larrabee** · 08-18-2009, 02:02 PM

After going through several players, I've settled on Zoom Player (and sometimes MPC). VLC doesn't look too good with 1080p video, and WMP is annoying.

**YukonTrooper** · 08-18-2009, 04:07 PM

Winamp, PowerDVD 9, Media Player with filters.

**pwolfe** · 08-18-2009, 04:50 PM

vlc and boxee all the way.

**Ashraf** · 08-18-2009, 05:48 PM

Media Player Classic.

**slim142** · 08-18-2009, 05:55 PM

Media Player Classic HC
w/ K-Lite Mega Codec pack
Yes I dont need 90% of the codecs, but I like to know I have them

**tiro_uspsss** · 08-18-2009, 07:46 PM

depends on file type..:

mp3, songs: winamp
dvd: PowerDVD9
video file: VLC or WMP11

**slim142** · 08-19-2009, 11:49 AM

oh yeah for music only winamp is needed.

**Mic** · 08-20-2009, 01:03 PM

media player and winamp

**ripken204** · 08-22-2009, 10:31 AM

as tiro said, depends on the media..

for video, VLC
for audio, Songbird

**labs23** · 08-22-2009, 10:50 AM

Video: MPC -Suites best for me.

Audio: iTunes, WMP.

**ferrari_freak** · 08-23-2009, 07:34 PM

I use Media Player Classic with CCCP (codec pack) but I've got VLC installed as backup.

**AndrewZorn** · 08-23-2009, 10:55 PM

foobar2000 for music (recent convert)
media player classic with CCCP for video (VLC as backup)

is there any other way?

EDIT wow i am just like ^^^

EDIT2 and quod libet (audacious backup) / vlc (mplayer backup) on linux
installing gentoo right now i am giving VMs another go now that i discovered virtualbox
prolly go with kde this time though

**Mescalamba** · 08-24-2009, 10:14 AM

Foobar.. cause it simply sounds best for me.

**EnJoY** · 08-24-2009, 06:40 PM

VLC for all video.

MediaMonkey for all audio.

Both are best in class.

I used to be a Winamp user, as long as I can remember. A month ago I switched to MediaMonkey, no comparison.

**trance565** · 08-25-2009, 11:15 PM

i use the k lite MPC pack, works well for everything so far.

**largon** · 08-31-2009, 04:54 AM

Media Player Plassic HC for video, evaluating Songbird for audio. Tried Foobar, didn't like, lacks critical features.
VLC would be fine for video - if it didn't crash all the time.

But Winamp has by far the best UI ever.

**faster3200** · 08-31-2009, 01:53 PM

VLC and WMP for audio and video w/ CCCP.
WMP only because VLC doesn't work with my G15.
VLC because WMP has issues with some file types.

I have tried every program here but I had some sort of complaint about all of them so I just distilled it down to the ones I needed. MediaMonkey is great though

**BeepBeep2** · 09-03-2009, 03:46 PM

VLC and WMP, I use Rhapsody (software, 128kbps WMA9's) to stream music on demand.

**RADCOM** · 09-03-2009, 06:03 PM

Power DVD 7 and 9 ( 7 for the HD movies I had ), WMP classic and VLC. Still trying to find out if my computer tired eyes can discern any noticeable diference in picture quality.

**killerxx7** · 09-06-2009, 02:38 AM

VLC=video

Media monkey=music only coz winamp don't play nice with 100k+ tracks
