???   Which of these media players are installed on your PC(or Mac)?   ???

I really like Windows Media Player version 10...really easy to use compared to the other players,but for video I use QuickTime.

You should always go with your default player.Winamp. :)

i've been using realplayer but it crashed on me the last few times. i think i'll go back to musicmatch, i had no problems with that player.

There are few Macs(Do I have to add an 's'?) in China...
They are really very expensive...
I love Apple as well as Quicktime
But I've got to choose WinMediaPlayer 10
For it's more convinient in Windows

I barely use RealPlayer.I use Winamp and WMP for videos and music.

MusicMatch actually gave me fits...I could never get it to work the way I wanted it to...and burning an audio CD(for my personal portable CD player)took an eternity....Windows Media Player does the job much faster. Besides I like the choice of skins(the look of the player)and the visual effects which move in time with the music.

Media Player

WinAmp and Quicktime.
I have Windows Media Player but I hate it.

On our home computer, we have WinAmp, which we can use to play MIDI files.

I use Quicktime for videos and WMP for other stuff.


Howard

I use Real Player and also Roxio player, a burning program that has a media player on it...

The coolest things about Windows Media Player 10

faster CD burning

playlists are easy to create and edit

auto error correction for CD burning

plays DVD movies with CLOSED CAPTIONING on-screen....my roommate is hard of hearing,my PC is also my DVD player,so if he wants to watch with me,I use the closed captioning.

Excellent sound quality for music playback AND DVD movies

and cool visualizations to watch when listening to music.

I don't know....i'm a techno idon'tknow :-[  I have a Mac and I guess it defaults to quicktime, but I don't know how this all works

I use Quicktime for video and MM Jukebox and Zinf for playing music in windows.
I use XMMS for music and MPlayer for video in Linux.

I mainly use Real Player. Normally, I use it to watch certain music videos.

With me, it depends on what type of media I am playing.

Videos: WMP (unless it is an MOV, then Quicktime)
DVD:  PowerDVD (2 computers use this, the other 2 use the ATI VIdeo Player)
CD Listening:  Media Player
CD Ripping:  Music Match (I like ther CDDB feature, and the 200+ kpbs sample rates)
Sound Playing (MID, WAV, MP3):  WinAmp (Classic Mode)

Because I qork part-time as a DJ, I like WinAmp because of it's clean, easy to use interface.  I love the features (count-down timer, Stop at end of current song, Fade Out from current song), which makes it very easy to use, and sounds professional.

I use whatever one is acting the least effedup at the moment!
:-\\

I use "Media Player Classic" - I think it was released after MS MP7 came out, totally over the top and bloated, so this is a cut-down MP6-alike but copes with 99% of codecs as part of the main download; also came with a few useful media analysis and fixing programs.

I went for 'other'. I use Creative Mediasource Player mainly (the software I got with my MP3 player). Secondly, I use Windows Media Player 10.

Does anyone know which player needs updating these days?


Howard

Does anyone know which player needs updating these days?

None of 'em should - very occasionally a new codec comes out, but if your media player's playing the media OK, why update?

Media Player! Its great!

What abour Real Player 10? ???



Howard

I use these

1) Windows Media Player 9
2) Realplayer 8+
3) VLC 0.7
4) Screamer player

My FAVOURITE player is screamer player as I can easily record ANY STREAM by hitting "Record"

Ya know what i find interesting?? I can play SOME realplayer streams with WMP!!! (Not all but some)

Wow at this thread. ;D

Back then, I used Windows Media Player. I did use Winamp for a bit. Then I moved onto iTunes in the late 2000s.

For videos, I used Windows Media Player. In the late 2000s and early 2010s I started using GOM player or VLC media player.

Come the 2010s, I more or less use my smartphone for music exclusively. In the early 2010s I used doubleTwist. In 2014, Google Play Music was the first streaming service to launch in Canada and that's what I used. In 2016 I switched over to Spotify for their cheaper student rates. They have a great Desktop client too and that's what I use as my music player.

For videos, I still use VLC. But I stream most my videos these days, through Netflix or YouTube or what have you.

A lot has changed in the past 10 years. :D

Yea VLC is probably the best as far as ready codecs go but I still had to get 2 Quicktime files and put them in my system directory in order to hear files encoded with QDM2 (A quicktime format)

I stopped listening on Winamp and occasionally will use Windows Media Player for listening to music.
