Which Media Player do you use?

[HossHuge]

I use Windows Media Player for music and Media Player Classic via K-lite pack for video.

 

[A Cheese Danish]

Foobar for music and Media Player Classic + CCCP for my video

 

[Mussels]

how could you miss MPC-HC?

and another CCCP user here, too.

 

[Triprift]

Winamp and VLC

 

[RejZoR]

MPC-HC is awesome because it can hardware accelerate H.264 videos out of the box and can also playback FLV files. Menaing you can play ripped web clips and videos from streaming services like Youtube.

well no, MPC-HC cant accel any H264... its very limited in what its built in codecs can do, and it entirely depends on your OS, video card and drivers capabilities.

can its built in CODEC do H264 decoding? yes, poorly. FFDSHOW has the best codec for that atm, after coreAVC (which is nvidia only, and not free)

 

[JATownes]

WMP for music and VLC for videos.

 

[W1zzard]

kmplayer. best ever

 

[Solaris17]

WMP 12 k-lite mega.

 

[RejZoR]

Mussels, yes, yes and yes. It has a built in splitter for MKV, it has built in H.264 decoder and also has DXVA. Which works as video accelerator with every graphic card released in the last 4 years (x1900 series / GF 8800 and upwards).

CoreAVC is not NVIDIA only. Hardware accelerated part yes, as it's using CUDA, but software decoding works with every CPU and is among the most optimized H.264 decoders you can get.
It's so optimized it gives HD video playback capability on GMA950 powered netbooks using just crappy Atom N270. I watched Das Boot 720p and entire Aliens quadrology (also 720p) on netbook using CoreAVC flawlessly.

FFdShow is the best all in all codec pack that has the least compatibility problems compared to codec packs where they just packed bunch of separate codecs.

Windows media player with K-lite codec pack installed without the media player classic.

Likes:
Plays everything uptill now(thanks to K-lite).
The way it sorts your media and how you can browse through it.
The fact that it can share and stream your whole library over your lan to all kinds of devices like PS3.
Clean interface.

No dislikes really

 

[erixx]

I really dont care, it is the song or movie I care most
I just use WMP, then VLC for picky files, and nothing else.

 

[Bo$$]

spotify, and itunes for the other stuff (even though i hate apple with a passion)...

awesome! after 3 posts on this forum someone already loves me

but troo, i see no reason to use any other media player when this works so perfectly.

Depending on the Application....

Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 Ultra For Blu Ray and DVD-Audio

Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Ultra for FPS interpolated DVD Playback (24fps to 60fps) and any Blu Ray content that might not work with version 8

Windows Media Player for CD playback and burning and MP3s

Realplayer for capturing streaming video content otherwise undownloadable

Flash Video Player(I think its called FLC player) for playing Flash Video Content

I've used VLC and enjoyed that, too. But as I've said before it works so well I feel dirty using those vlc file types.

if you use anyDVDHD, VLC works really well for blu ray playback now, especially once you enable the hardware acceleration.

 

[entropy13]

Winamp for audio, Media Player Classic for video except .flv, which I choose to use Applian FLV player.

 

[Apa]

MPC-HC. Haven't been without CCCP for many, many years.

I use VLC once in a while too however. Mostly when watching DVDs on the PC.

 

[slyfox2151]

what is this program?

if you look to the top left, you will notice it says Winamp ... click the little T looking button next to the close button to get that interface.

 

[Delta6326]

itunes why because i wanted album artwork

 

[stefanels]

I use winamp to play mp3... but for movies i USE Satsuki Decoder Pack, VLC & MPlayer (an hungarian media player)

indeed CCCP rocks when it comes to watching moves and that ^^ and if u got a Nvidia GFX than use CoreAVC for the h264/x264 codec in MPC:HC

 

[10TaTioN]

iTunes for the Library and AIMP for quick play

 

[Flak]

I don't like codec packs, all of them but CCCP install too much crap... And I have actually run into files that CCCP won't play but play fine if you install the same crap seperately... so:
MPC - for everything with the following codecs (all kept up to date from free-codecs):
ffdshow
matroska
madflac
ac3
quicktime alternative
real alternative
