3	I use VLC for Video... Rhythmbox for Audio.. (I run Linux) answered Oct 04 '10 at 21:08 linux_geekshed 106●10●10●14

Depends on what I'm doing. I watch a lot of stuff on Netflix, Hulu & Amazon Video on Demand. I launch the videos in whatever they want to run.

Quicktime, iTunes, Windows Media Player if I'm on Windows, etc. I guess I'm an equal opportunity media player user.

The only one I refuse to use is Real Player.

I don't use Real Player at all, but I'm curious is it that bad XD?

I don't use it on principle. They've always been AWFUL about installing excess crap (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealPlayer#Criticism), as well as defaulting it all to be installed unless you painstakingly uncheck every box during your initial install. They just don't give a fig about their customers, in my opinion. Too much aggravation = not software I'm willing to run.

I despise RealPlayer and always have but...whatever happened to WinAmp? I used to love it but it seems to have gotten a bloated sac. I love the unpretentious VLC.

VLC and Windows Media Player Classic are what I use for video. iTunes for music.

Use Media Player Classic x64 version for everything but my alarm clock program. Being that I love my streaming radio from London in the morning...just use the 32-bit version of Media Player Classic.

As for VLC...have tried to use it for years...but it way too much player for what I want to use...watching video/listening to audio right then and there.

3	QuickTime and if QuickTime can't play it than I use VLC answered Oct 04 '10 at 23:35 FilipinoPower 12.9k●121●211●310

2	Windows Media player and Itunes for music. For videos and MKV anime with multiple audio and sub tracks I use SMplayer, it doesn' t lag at all no matter the quality :) answered Oct 04 '10 at 20:56 Patxi 12.4k●194●266●382 edited Oct 04 '10 at 20:57

2	VLC is the best you can get in my opinion. With music I use Itunes. answered Oct 04 '10 at 20:59 Kristhinksgeek 181●18●20●25

2	I've been a Winamp user for ages. It's the best one that I've found. answered Oct 04 '10 at 22:29 Sozo 3.9k●20●35●68

2	I mainly use Win Media Player for much of everything, except for movies that Wmp won't play naturally. In that case, I'll use VLC. I have iTunes, but it runs slow on windows, so I only use that for loading my iPod. answered Oct 04 '10 at 22:55 Geenome 2.2k●37●50●72

2	Depending of what video format I'm viewing, I use either QuickTime X or VLC. answered Oct 04 '10 at 23:31 refrwfrwgrfd (suspended)

2	+1 for VLC. Works very well for both video & audio, I find...in Windows & Linux. answered Oct 05 '10 at 05:50 geekomatic 1.4k●6●7●28
