pelytig Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was just wondering what type of media players you guys use. I use VLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JcX Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Prefer WMP interface.... but not it's function. I will play all media with it, only .rm, .rmvb with RealPlayer. But I've got another universal player + convert. Try to go for JetAudio if you all haven't heard about it. Not a bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meriadoc Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I've used a number of them, but never VLC, I'll have to check it out someday. I'm currently using Totem Movie Player and Rhythmbox Music Player on Fedora. This is what gets installed by default and I just decided to go with them since they do the job. I've also used mplayer which I thought was decent. The non-open source players would be Windows Media Player and Real Player. I haven't used Real Player in quite some time. It's not that I didn't like it, just never reinstalled after a rebuild. I did install iTunes once, but didn't see the need to keep it around and so I removed it.

Frankie Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 VLC for vids and amarok for music. I use totem for music too sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sungazer Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 WMP (music), VLC (movies) and WinAmp (radio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trippin Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I use VLC for video and Winamp for music and radio. Winamp plays all my videos, but for some reason I like the VLC interface alot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Mplayer hands down for video in Linux, but I use all sorts of things for audio. Heck, sometimes I just turn on the radio instead of messing with my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthiflash Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 why does win media player tahes lots of memory then any others..comparing winamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilium Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I used to love Winamp, but ever since they stopped XM radio service I switched back to WMP since it's simple and doesn't eat too much RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpriest25 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I like VLC because it doesn't seem to have the codex problems that some of the others seem to have. WMP doesn't work right on my pc...it only goes to about half of my pc's potential volume, so that pretty much rules that out. I actually tried media monkey for awhile, but it just didn't suit me. EDIT: whoops, I forgot about Quintesential medial player. That's my favorite audio player. It never seems to have any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I use iTunes for audio and VLC for the rare case where I am watching non-online video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naphstor Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 i always use vlc for movies & WMP for music & it is best combi pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoexer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I-tunes, goes seemlessly with audio, that and an ipod compel me to use it. Videos on the other hand i am not really impressed with the products i've used thus far, it seams the higher they climb on the version ladder, the more complicated and unsolvable the problems they produce. Whats up with that? I do know one thing though. I *HATE* (With passion, i cant stress this enough) windows media player. Its *TOO*(again stressing) taxing on my resources. I simply cannot see how MicroSocks justifies a user waiting 10 minutes to watch a 2 minute video. (maybe a little exagerated, but that's how it feels.

Ashoat Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's really not that bad in regards to system resources. How much RAM are you running with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoexer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Currently down to 128 from 512 from 1024, Dont laugh, i've been having computer problems. edit: MY experience with Windows media player hasn't been nice, i got frustrated and left, thats all.
