best media player?

[Begbie]

Looks like Winamp and WMP etc. I don't get why you need so many features for something that sits in your taskbar out of sight for 99% of the time doing nothing but playing music. That is why I use Foobar2000.


Exactly. It doesn't have a fancy skin or pointless special features. It is just a simple, powerful tool that works flawlessly.

Use with ffdshow for added goodness

Mine didn't come in a tin though, I feel ripped off

Whats this ffdshow you talk of?

Argh sorry, right click google!

Just codecs I take it?

I use Winamp for music and VLC for movies/DVDs/videos etc.

VLC Media Player is my recommendation for sure

Foobar2000 (ASIO Mode ) for audio
VLC / Media Player classic & ffdshow for video

Does anyone know how to get the sliding bar play, stop etc in VLC, like you do in media player classic at the bottom off the screen when you watching something?

Foobar2000 for music.
