Winamp for music because its very internet radio friendly
Splash Pro or MPCHT for video

I use AIMP2 for audio. It's like Winamp, except for the fact that it's made in Russia, and it actually left the 90's when time was due.
I use MPC-HC and CoreAVC for movies and such, and MPC-HC with the K-Lite mega pack for various other videos I need to play. If those both fail, VLC is a nice fall-back. At least as long as the file is under 2GB or so in size.
On the go, I use my trusty old Cowon D2. It's a great player, aside from the fact that the firmware constantly breaks when ID3 tags aren't formatted exactly as it wants them to be.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Shit, I've turned into Freezer. AIMP2 and MPC-HC, VLC backup.Freezer7Pro wrote:

That's a good thing.

Oh, my on the go media player is a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
Maybe you should just face that some people may just want to watch the stuff without caring too much if a pixel or two are off?Winston_Churchill wrote:

VLC for audio?
Jesus Christ Floppy what the fuck are you doing.

So how do you listen to music? Have your music folder open and select one song at a time?
If so that's really, really, really, really, really dumb.

Dude, you need one codec pack, and that is K-Lite. With that, MPC will play everything VLC plays, aside from broken files. It'll do it quicker, faster and generally just better.FloppY_ wrote:

I use MM for music. SMPlayer/MPC-HC for movies.
Currently about to switch back to WMP11 though, because it has everything I need now - full FLAC support (not official, but now it plays FLAC, allows for tagging support and there's no playback problems).

I dont think you listened... it has serious performance issues with HD playback, still doesnt have proper DXVA support, blurs the picture and its colours are seriously off. Not sure how you boiled that down to "a pixel or two are off" unless you're blind or severely retarded.FloppY_ wrote:

I do mine through my music folder. Though I usually listen to entire albums at a time. Its still much better organized using my filing system than any program I've ever tried (and I've tried winamp, foobar, itunes, aimp, mm, songbird and clementine)Finray wrote:

We have like shit-tons of threads like this already.
I use MediaMonkey because I like it and shit. It also converts to mp3 on-the-fly when exporting to my iPod, which is nice. And it also has PARTY MODE, which sounds cool, but I've never tried it.

Party mode is largely useless
It's meant so you can leave your computer in a room with people you don't trust enough to go on the rest of your computer. Then to disable it you click file > disable party mode or something similarly as easy. Lol

I would assume you could put a password on it

it's like me harassing people in every single thread remotely related to music for not listening to originally-pressed vinyl
life is about more than your fucking media player
