Which Media Player do you use?
(if mod could fix the poll to include ITunes,VLC and fix the word media :P that would be sweet)
i have been using Winamp for about a year or so now... been about 70 % satisfied with it... i would like to know what most of you guys use for song management/play. if you can, list features you like/use with your media player and/or why you prefer that media player over others. (Not video or movie related) Winamp. things i like ![]() Ipod/mp3 compatible. very easy to transfer songs to ipods ![]() lots of addons customisable Interface very fast song search things i dont like inbuilt browser interface over the top/clunky... trys to do/be too much?

just WMP personally, its not nearly the greatest, but I have very little requirements in the way of features for playing music.
it needs to have shuffle, repeat and playlists, thats about it haha EDIT: you forgot itunes haha, I only use that to get songs on my iphone, I dont think I've ever used it to just play my music. |

heh yeah i did forget about it, but then again i have never come across anyone who uses it as a main music player either so :P
i know what you mean with WMP, thats what i used for several years before i switched to winamp. only problem was it went very slow with large media collections dont know if its faster now.. havnt tried it recently.

anyone got a preference on ones for DVD images ie. Video TS. I copied all my DVDs not many, but i'm trying to get my Nirvana Live at Reading Festival 92 to play smooth. I mean it runs smooth if nothing is going on, but when I do WCG i get alot of stutter. Maybe it cant be avoided, but if anyone has something they perfer better, I am all ears.

I use Media Monkey. It is like Itunes without the fail. It syncs with my Sansa as well. I am very pleased with it.
