WMP 11 Vs iTunes + QuickTime

[zyberboy]

Which one is better for pure natural sound play back wmp11+DFX or winamp??(in 2.1 speakers).i tried both but cant decide,wmp11 sounds great, but i feel winamp has more accurate treble.

@gx_saurav
In ur wmp screen shot the volume level is full,which is the right balance between wmp volume level and speaker volume level,i feel good wen volume level of wmp is less than 50%

WMP 11 is for watching movie and iTunes for listening music

I don't use speakers dude, mom kicks me out if I use them cos the volume is high according to her. I use headphones here. The volume of headphone is at a Max & I play the songs in WMP & set the audio lavel from there only.

Go take some history lessons first.


Nope, Quicktime flash component is based on Flash 7 in tiger not flash 9.Thats why I said Official flash player is better.

Where is this option?, I m checking in few minutes.

I was talking about out of the box experience without any 3rd party plugins. If it was about WMP & iTunes with 3rd party apps then iTunes is not even required to manage iPod (Anapod explorer)

Nope, just try draging & drop a .avi or .divx file in iTunes, it will not import.

Nope, Zeeshan will confirm this with Latest iTunes installed on his Mac.


Just once. That too only in case your Harddisk dies.

Nope, it playes songs directly from your iPod. Without copying them back to computer cos they are already sorted in iPod harddisk.


You really don't know what You can do with Winamp skins, do u? . Or do you use your OS without customising it at all? The skining engine of Winamp is one of the best out there & is extremely efficient in memory & CPU usage.

Sorry I forgot, your OS works best at default settings & breaks if moded


Well, in that case even I can add that Windows Media player can play all m4a songs after converting them to wma or mp3. But does iTunes plays them without coversion ? No. & Thats the point we were talking about in that thread.

P.S. - iTunes doesn't converts WMA 10 files.

Another plus point in a 3rd party Windows Application. WMP shows album name too but not in Main Window but in library.

I am posting this article here, cos it involves words like "Apple" "iPod" "iTunes" Which always lead to fights

Who turns them into fights, huh? YOU. Look at your previous post (quoted above) and my first post in this thread. Look at the tone.

You are incapable of any logical or friendly discussion. Every thread you post (read hijack) into turns into a free-for-all flame war. Carry on, I'm outta here.

@ arya

OMG Did you forget to wear your spects. In the post u quoted, where do you see harsh tone?

I am just clearing your misconceptions about Winamp's UI being horrible or iTunes importing avi & divx files or iTunes playing songs directly from iPod insted of copying back to computer which Apple doesn't allows or the fact that you can only download your previously purchased songs from iTunes just once.

Just that when you speak of something, take some history lessons & do some research on net.

From the post you just wrote, seems like as always you feel personally hurt when the flaws of an Apple product are shown to you & get utterly frustrated. Wonder if you say the words.. "I am gonna ***ing kill him, how can he reveal flaws of Mac & Apple products which I have been advertising from day 1 as perfect apps."

Did you tried importing those files in iTunes ? or are they already imported in iTunes library. You seem to be having a big proper tagged iTunes library, plz provide a screenshot so that I can post it here for proper comparision.

I had all my 200 songs in my mobile phone in m4a format. I copied from the memory card to Mac HD, & placed them in corresponding folder with names as i do in Windows like "Linkin Park"-> "Minutes to Midnight" -> all files here. Upon importing in Mac, itunes copied every song again to iTunes library folder in Music folder

I am myelf saying that I have not used iTunes much, which seems like you use properly. Plz read the above article & tell yourself it lacks something. I will add whatever I have missed.

Instead of doing import, try "add folder to library option". You can even drag and drop folders to itunes. Once you add all the folders, export the itunes library . It will export library in XML form (tiny file).

foobar2k for music & media player classic for video rules !!!!
I do like VLC & the overhauled WMP11 too but nothing's better for windows than fb2k & mpc

advanced>general> copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library.

This worked, but iTunes makes another copy by default, this needs user interaction to change

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

It does not convert WMA songs.

can anyone help me out: howto display album name in WMP 11 in playlist ???

pc world has come out with an article on quicktime
QUICKTIME ’BIGGER SECURITY RISK THAN INTERNET EXPLORER

 

[gxsaurav]

blackleopard, you cannot show album name in playlist in the main window of WMP but you can in Library window

I have a text clipping on my desktop that I drag into every post once I've typed it out. If you want to do it too, just prepare the code and store it into a text file onto the desktop (Windows does not support storing clippings of text directly) and whenever you want to include it, open that file and copy the code and paste it onto the message. A little cumbersome (if you are on Windows, which I guess you are) but that's the only way I know of.

BTW, it is against the rules so I have stopped doing it...

mediamonkey

 

[karmanya]

of the two i think media monkey is better, nicer interface even if it is a little too blue

hey go check out the website u will find many skins which will suit ur taste..though i luv blue

ps-they r goin to launch media monkey 3 soon ..so it will be even better

I think WMP 11 is much better than its previous versions. I have used iTunes/QuickTime but was not that much impressed with the interface. But I find 'mplayer' available for Windows, Linux and also Mac OS X much better. It can play nearly any type of file and the most exciting thing is, it is standalone. You don't need to install it to use it.

 

[aryayush]

Most Mac applications are that way. Oh wait. I guess you were talking about the Windows version.

Anyway, I certainly prefer VLC media player to every other media player out there.
