I use wmp for music, I have winamp though. I use media player classic for vids. It came with a codec pack I downloaded and it plays the vids nicely, it plays pretty much all codecs and stuff, it can play music too. I use quicktime for .movs though, cause it's just easier.

Just use WMP. It comes with Windows and will play anything as long as you have the codecs installed, which it will automatically download. Why would you want anything else? Seriously though, you could get rid of all those players you have and WMP will be more than capable of handling your videos and songs.

@Hiei: I send clips to people all the time. Ask Xtramus

@Everyone who says WMP uses too much RAM: Why can't you spare 32MB-46MB of RAM? And that's just for videos. Playing an MP3 takes up 22MB. It actually used less RAM when I made a playlist and used 18MB instead. I don't see what the problem is with your RAM thing.

I use WMP. I am used to it and it is straightforward, it comes with windows so I dont have to download anything, I have learnt to manage any little quirks or things I dont like about it, and, most importantly, it easilly handles all types of media (or more correctly, all types of media I care about viewing).

Best MP3 player EVER. Almost takes no RAM or space, it's the BEST.

Winamp for music and WMP or VLC for videos. Winamp with the plug-in Enhancer is great for audio. Also I've used winamp as long as I remember, changing would be annoying.

I watched a dvd on my brother's computer yesterday though, but not on VLC. The pc isn't great, so it lagged a bit. Therefore I tried PowerDVD and it worked much better. At my computer VLC works without any problems, but if it did I think PowerDVD would've been something I used more.

I think the best is Windows Media Player 11 and VLC Media Player, if you want to view Quicktime formated videos online then screw Quicktime Player and RealPlayer, go with Quicktime Alternative. It just installs you the codec and a small player .exe instead of an arsenal of .exes which don't do squat.

^I'm actually having trouble adjusting to WMP 11. I like to use the Advanced Tag Editor so I can change any media information if I need to (album, song name, artist) and I can't find that feature in WMP 11

Choose Library from upstairs - choose Now Playing or an open Playlist - right click on the song you want to edit - Advanced Tag Editor
