Music Players

[arsonistx]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what music player everybody uses and why is it the best?
I personally use WinAmp, with a firefox plugin called FoxyTunes.

I think Winamp is great because it uses low CPU usage and it's very easy to use.
Also, there are tons of skins for it that look just amazing.

I just don't like the style of Windows Media Player, and iTunes can be pretty hard to manage.

I use media player classic. I don't really want to look at the media player like I used to. So it covers all the basic's.

Windows Media Player 11, because it has the ability to minimize to the taskbar with controls visible, as a toolbar.

I'm using Cowon's Jetaudio. Sounds better than winamp.

I'm a little bit old school and classical! So since Winamp was created I'm using it as my first and favorite music player, and always with the classical skins!
I tried Itunes especially for the Podcasts search and downloads, but Winamp was and still my favorite player!

I suppose the Windows Media Player taskbar minimizing thing is pretty neat, but its just so slowwww.
768MB RAM and it skips a lot from just browsing the web.

Windows Media Player 11 on Vista. The SRS WOW feature is cool

In the past, Windows automatically increased the CPU priority for apps playing media, but that seems to have stopped now.

Windows Media Player + K-Lite Codec Pack; it's all I need. I don't care about memory usage if I'm using it to watch a movie; it's not like I'm multi-tasking in the background

Amarok - I am getting a sansa clip ( in mail from amazon ). The KDE project is really leading the open source drive. On windows I use VLC.

[gothcrow]

[legendphil]

hao!

I've been using winamp ever since ... I've grown with it.. I mean it's cool and all, so I didn't look for any other music player.

Winamp is the best choice for just playing music, it supports a large array of audio codecs and uses minimal system resources. I have it loaded with like a 90+ hour play list and has minimal CPU/RAM usage compared to other media players.

I use Windows Media Player 11 for video playback but that's about it.

Well, I am on 1gig RAM, and my music can be played without any jumping, and I can have 25 different things on the go at once! I would also like to point out that my cpu is only 1.3Ghz AMD, so it is pretty old too!

I use windows media player cause it looks cool, doesn't error much, and works!
