    I know its another useless tech thread but i am in the mood for it. So for your media(music movies and such) what do you use? I use good ol Winamp. Simple reliable and i find it very friendly if using bento.

    I use iTunes, just because I'm a Mac user.
    On my PC I use Windows Media Player.

    Pretty much just because they're there xD the media keys on my keyboards work well with them.

    Ah, also I tend to watch videos in VLC or DiVX player.

    VLC Media Player. You couldn't get me to use a different program if you paid me.

    Also, they just released version 0.99. Almost time for the big 1.0!

    I'm using Winamp, just like Mitchman~

    Bento is actually the skin I'm using right now, though I'm very very fond of the Good Ol Electric Skin too. Used that one until I got this last recent release of Winamp.

    I probably should have VLC. But never bothered getting it. So apparently, I don't need it enough XD

    For watching DVDs on my PC, I use PowerDVD. I don't know how I got it ._.

    I primarily use Winamp. I use VLC for videos, and sometimes I even use it instead of Winamp for music.

    Is there a playlist function on VLC?
    Yeah, there is. You can load and save playlists, too. The only thing I really don't like about VLC is the lack of a decent media library.
    Edit: Forgot, it does have a library...but it's not that great.

    For music, I use Winamp. For everything else, I use The KMPlayer.

    I used to use iTunes but the only reason I'd used it for ages was because it auto sorts my music when I add it to the library but then I realized how much I hated the way it sorts it and switched back to Winamp.

    For music, I use MediaMonkey. It syncs perfectly with my Zen, and obtaining album art is easy. For videos, I just use Media Player (mainly because I downloaded the K-Lite Codec pack a while back).

    WMP.

    Because I can't really be bothered to get another one.

    Even though when I get a new I-Pod I'll probably use I-tunes.

    itunes for music.
    Miro for videos, I guarantee it's the best one I've used, it even can play Hi-Def videos. And it's open source. I've never had as many problems as I did with Winamp.

    VLC media player + Media Player Classic + Windows Media Player (just because it's there already) + CCCP = All you need to play ANY form of audio and video. That's what I believe anyway.

    I used to use winamp until I realized it was cutting my sound quality and video quality and the only way to get it to function at full power is to pay them

    Audio: iTunes (general use), Windows Media Player (default program on double-click); VLC (uncommon filetypes).
    Video: VLC Player; RealPlayer (VLC can't play .rvmb files).

    I would use VLC for everything (obviously except .rvmb) but it doesn't remember library settings and can't play files with unicode characters in their names.

    Clearly you don't have much music.

    I use Foobar2000, via VMware fusion on MacOSX. This entire arrangement uses less resources than iTunes on it's own @_@

    Although I have a lot of media players installed (they came with my laptop), I don't use all of them.

    For music I use iTunes, simply because I like the way everything is sorted and it looks nice.
    For videos I only use Media Player Classic + CCCP. <= Plays just about every single video format except .rmvb, but then I just use MPlayer or RealPlayer for those.
