What Music Player are you using (Windows Vista)

samuelc · 10 Mar 2009 at 12:29

Hello guys,

Just a quick thought. What's everyone using in this forums and are there any recommendations for a good Mp3 Player?

I'm currently using Winamp. Or Rather I used to.
Now I'm just using Windows Media Player. Any better ones out there guys that you could recommend? In terms of looks and functionality?

I like Winamp + asio

I think Foobar has more functionality than Winamp, but I prefer Winamp myself. I don't need my music playback software to do that much.

V stable and a worthy winamp substitute... Not so bloated!

I just stick my finger up at the EU and use Windows Media player on Vista Business N

I'm quite fond of Songbird these days.

Before that I used to quiet like Foobar, but the faffing annoyed me.
MediaMonkey isn't bad but I didn't want to pay for something other players can offer for free.

Winamp, but solely because I'm too lazy to try something else. It works, and whilst it's getting slightly more bloated as the years pass by, it's still nowhere near as fat as iTunes.

iTunes is the devil!

Winamp as it's small. The only thing I'd like is better 5.1 support (it does it, but why not out of the box?)

I'm unfashionable enough to use iTunes. It's so painless to use that I don't see the point in using anything else.

Itunes, but I wish I could install it without Quicktime.

LOL @ Burnsey

Itunes because I'm not fashionable enough to fiddle about with anything else.
Itunes works and does everything brilliantly.

This. Everyone else I know who's into PCs scoffs at me and tells me to use WinAmp. iTunes might be bloated but it plays music fine and is very easy to use. I don't need anything else.

It does everything, but certainly not brilliantly.

iTunes as its always worked for me and its the easiest way for me to sync my iPod

Opinion, it does everything I need it to do brilliantly, plus my Ipod likes it

samuelc · 10 Mar 2009 at 15:20

Going to try Itunes properly myself tonight!
Does anyone find that it lags? It lagged on my old PC. But as my New PC arrived on sat i'm going to give it one more go!

I always felt that when i switched tracks (which I do a lot) it just started to lag so much.

Shamikebab · 10 Mar 2009 at 15:23

Winamp. I used to use WMP and I've tried Songbird (What is there is good but it is woefully under featured at the moment)

sgc2000 · 10 Mar 2009 at 15:27

I just use Windows Media Player.

I never really liked the look of Winamp, although I do have it installed to play some OGG files I have; I could never get Media Player to play them properly.
