Hail All!

Here's the second one of my just-out-of-curiosity computer related polls. Which media player/management software do ye normally use on your computer? Cool

What I'm looking for is which media player that ye normally use to play your music collection, videos and radio streams. Smile

Obviously as before, in-thread discussion on media players is more than welcome! Smile

To start the ball rolling: I use Windows Media Player 9 - Mainly because it's a good reliable programme, has some nice features, doesn't use too many resources, comes free with Windows XP, and is a doddle to operate with the keyboard! Cool

On the other side of the coin though, I hate Windows Media Player 11 with a passion...It's very big, takes up too many system resources, and Microsoft have removed or messed up all of the keyboard mappings too! Evil or Very Mad

Farewell, and looking forward to thy responses! Twisted Evil

Hi,

I voted Winamp because I use that for music, which is probably the most played media on my PC.

For video I sometimes use Windows Media Player Classic (not the Microsoft application) but mostly VLC which is a single .exe so it's small and neat, and it can play a huge range of formats and is low on system resources in comparison to others.
