Which is your preferred media player?

[gameranand]

^^ Well, but there's one thing which is really great in Winamp. It tracks how many times have I played a particular song, and I can just select the songs to play, which I have listened many times. Thus avoiding manually adding my fav songs.

That is included in Mediamonkey also. It keep track of your most played tracks and the 50 tracks played plus some others so its best for me. You name a feature and most probably this player have it.

In Linux I use VLC for videos & Amarok for audio and in Win7 I prefer Windows Media Player for audio & of course VLC for video.

These days I am using 1by1 a directory MP3 player, recommended in some thread of TDF.
Its a bare minimum player, which does what its supposed to do. Play songs, with no hassles of Playlists! Loads instantly, with last directory selected.

Pump up the Volume...

Winamp for Audio, VLC & MPC HomeCinema for videos, powerdvd for DVDs, VCDs.

No vote for iTunes!!! Is Steve Jobs watching? And nobody has a iPod here!?

My Most favorite Media player is KMPlayer and next comes GOMPlayer

Well its a good player but lack of proper organization system and sluggish interface so a no go for me. And also its just not that simple to use kinda hidden features which you have to find out.

I prefer windows media player for audio and VLC player for video...

 

[Sathish]

as i have 110 GB+ songs my experience is

Freeware/Open Source
Audio > WMP
Video > Media Player Classic / VLC

Paid (as well as amongst best )
Audio >
Video> Cowon Jet Audio plus VX 8 (for crystal clear sound / unique sound enhancements / minimum distortion in sound enhancement>
But for the purpose of editing tags nothing beat J river Media Center.

I have both Use Jet Audio and Media Center.

Another Good Media Player I've used was Zoom Player though it has freeware version it's Home MAX version is the best one.

I have voted-

VLC Player (for all my Video needs)
Other ( I use foobar 2000 for audio which I think is awesome)

Used to use Winamp before but after the recent versions I have dumped it. Also, I have iTunes installed for my iPod but hardly use for audio and video.

Nobody is talking about Songbird. Its a very solid player & organizer, although looks a bit rough.

And what really happened to iTunes? Still no vote nor anybody's saying anything about it...

Too bad, bloated for us to talk about it and vote.

We keep it in our PC as a formality for our iPod's.

Songbird is good and I use it on my Ubuntu.

Complete ****. Installs about 3 or 4 additional software for no use runs a process all the time and also the player itself is resource hungry and nothing special about. I don't have Ipod so why on earth will I ever use this when I have so much better alternatives.

 

[Skud]

Yeah, iTunes is a complete **** (whatsoever you wanted to mean). But I really want to know how many iPod owners here and what they are actually using.

Well my friend uses Media Monkey. And its damn good but the problem is that Itunes has to be installed in your system.

 

[thetechfreak]

Well those who own iPod touch must use iTunes otherwise they cant install apps from their pc's.

me. Just have that crap for my ipod. Way too bloated. Around 200 mb total

But even then, I havn't used Winamp for like, 2 years! May be try it once, I upgrade my system!

This feature is also available in WMP, just go to media library and right click on select column's header(where file name, size, bit rate, etc are written) select 'play count' column. Now you can sort songs based on number of times you have played it.

 

[Vyom]

^^ Yes man! WMP does have this.
So that have rendered Winamp pretty much useless to me!
