give me a single reason Y i should switch from Winamp 5, when all i do is to play my MP4 encoded music with DFX, & EMP 2.0 Skin

the same question goes with everyone, the choice of Media player is subjective

[gxsaurav]

lets see

with real Alternative & Quicktime alternative, Winamp can play such contents, besides I don't weather it is true or not, but jet audio requirs Real & Quicktime player installed to play such contenst, just like Real Player can play Quicktime files if quicktime is installed. Although equiliser won't work, thats true

infact, I can say that real player is indeed the compleate multimedia jukebox

There are better vis plugins for Winamp, insted of mp3 pro, mp4 is better which winamp can encode

& what is sound extension pack, please clerify

 

[Ashis]

Well.....Jet audio Stands as my secondary music player (Primary being Windows Media Player) & primary Video Player!

Its great when It comes to comfort & usability......U got to use it to know it!
What I mean is....I have tried all shorts of video player eg...Win DVD, power DVD, Windows Media player for playing Video but Its the JetAudio that does the job with perfection!

One thing is that there is no DFX for JetAudio & Its sound Output is not as good as Windows Media Player....

So I rate it 9/10 (9 out of 10) !

give me a single reason Y i should switch from Winamp 5, when all i do is to play my MP4 encoded music with DFX, & EMP 2.0 Skin

I tried to use Winamp...because of its popularity & all shorts of plugins & skins available for it....But it was not as good at its fame is......Its a bulky player (winamp 5) consuming a lot of resources, It is difficult to manage (compared to JetAudio.....Which works seamlessly on the tray With a heck of features). :roll:
And the most important thing is that Winamp's output is pathetic at high volume....I find Windows Media Player is by far the best player when Sound output & balance in the performance of music is concern! But not as good as when manageability (of the player on the desktop & working simultaneously) is compared with JetAudio!

I use two players....Windows Media player (Primary) & JetAudio (Secondary), but I need to say I use JetAudio more than Windows Media Player!

 

[Gaurav]

yeah I have it's VX version and it rocks man. really challanges winamp in features.

 

[imagineer_aman]

Hi Team!
Wud like add a lil bit too...
I have tried Jet Audio, WinAmp and VLC.
Well, JetAudio was my favorite coz it played everything(.rm,divx,.mov).But for all of these I had to install the plugins..EITHER the original softwares like divx,realOne and Quicktime7 OR viz Codec Packs(gave glitches sometimes)!
So those were the extra s/ws that i had to install.
Same goes with WinAMp.
But,with VLC..I had to install nothing extra.Right now..I dont have Quicktime player but i can play all the .mov files in VLC.However, I CAN'T play real media files.So I had to install Real10.Thats the only extra s/w reqd! Correct me if I am wrong!
My Preference order-
1.VLC
2.JetAudio
3.WinAmp

 

[Sreekanth V]

I use J.River Media Center 11, much powerful than all these.
I tried Jet Audio, but the interface not as good as that of Media center.
Anyway winamp is not in the picture, since it is based on the old playlist way.

 

[Bomb]

A 9/10

Its my primary player.

I use it for playing my DVD's.

 

[expertno.1]

Although equiliser won't work, thats true

Well the Equalizer works for .rm files also in jet audio

& what is sound extension pack, please clerify

sound extension pack is the best part of jet audio
it has an editor too and recording mixer tooo

many features which winamp doesn't

But,with VLC..I had to install nothing extra.Right now..I dont have Quicktime player but i can play all the .mov files in VLC.However, I CAN'T play real media files.So I had to install Real10.Thats the only extra s/w reqd! Correct me if I am wrong!

Dude why do u installed real player if u can use jet audio ? (get real alternative and thats finished)

jet audio is a hassle free player
u dont need to sweitch player
which is absent in winamp

besides its a good dvd and dat player too
its video features are awesome
colour,hew,maximize , etc are great

One thing is that there is no DFX for JetAudio & Its sound Output is not as good as Windows Media Player....

well no problem if it doesn't has this
but instead it has BBB viva effects and other more than 8 effects to hasten your listening

so why for winamp ?

.Its a bulky player (winamp 5) consuming a lot of resources, It is difficult to manage (compared to JetAudio.....Which works seamlessly on the tray With a heck of features).

i agree..winamp is bulky !

1.VLC
2.JetAudio
3.WinAmp

sorry dude but VLC player has not much feature as compared to jet audio
it cannot play mp3 pro files
it has only large extensio support without any no. of featureas

I use J.River Media Center 11, much powerful than all these.

I tell u that this player was my favourite much favorite !@!!

buit when i came to jet audio i cicked J.river off
moeover jrivers equalizer doesn't works for .rm files but it works in jet audio

i ahve tried jriver 10 it hadn't the feature
may be in 11 there is the feature

besided jriver is 30 day limit
but jet audio is not
it has basic and pro styles
basic free and pro takes a little amount

A 9/10

Its my primary player.

I use it for playing my DVD's.

Jet audio can even plau dvd's with the equalizer feature too

thus i cosider jet audio as the best

Thanks

Not Arguing

I don't Use JetAudio Interface Because I have assigned hotkeys(Hotkeys avalable in JetAudio) to all common functions....So I hardly see the player interface!

U can use the XAudio Skin for jet Audio player....It Really looks Cool!

 

[expertno.1]

Besides

J.River Media Center 11 also requires Quick time and real player installed to play .mov and .rm files

U can use the XAudio Skin for jet Audio player....It Really looks Cool!

give the direct link for the Xaudio skin


Then i think that Jet audio is the best player around
isn't it ?

More comments please

Thanks

[shwetanshu]

for me winamp and wmp rox, i dont feel the need to switch the players

 

[asdf1223]

been using winamp from 2.x.only time i switched was during 3(if u think 5's sluggish).besides for low sys reqs. peeps winamp has a lite version just 4 u.even if a new player has gr8 skins,winamp already has a headstart due to sheer no. of availble skins.only disappointment is the lack of cd ripping for which 3rd party plugins more than satisfy.and milkdrop rocks.

 

[expertno.1]

Hey Ashish ,

Thanks for the link

@asdf1223 you should give only a try to jet audio then u wil get the difference

@shwetanshu but for .rm and .mov files u need to switch players

Thanks

[Nemesis]

Ok I tried Jet-Audio. It's a good player with a ton of nifty little features. However, sound output disappointed me a bit. WMP10 gives me great sound without having to mess around with the equalizer too much. However, with Jet-Audio, the default presets don't compare with WMP. But I'll keep it and use it sometimes

 

[expertno.1]

Yeah NEMESIS you are right

but in jet audio we have to make the equalizer according to us

i dont use equalizer

i just use "FLAT"

this will give better sound

Thanks
REgards..
Expertno.1

 

[Nemesis]

Flat is too flat for my taste. I prefer the equalizer set at Rock/Techno and at those settings, Jet Audio disappoints. If I had to mess around with the settings to get the perfect sound, I wouldn't be using WMP

 

[expertno.1]

Hmmm

Then inspite of Jet Audios features that sound clarity is needed

but there is also other great effects like

BBB viva and other

BUT jet audio is an excellent video player

Thanks
