Are you sure..??
I rate iTunes as the worst program ever made..!!
I prefer winamp. Winamp library is quite good..

Musicmatch is quite a resource hog too.

It's probably personal preference. I've had bad experiences with winamp, while everything moved smoothly when I used iTunes.

If you were unsatisfied by WMP 11's Library, god save you.

winamp is good but not satisfied with that . Then try musicmatch jukebox

WMP 11 looks fresh works perfectly and has all the features U can ask for

Well if not install some Add-In's

BYW can nyone suggest some nice Visualisation for WMP11, I've not found nything except "Energy Bliss" worth trying so far

H

Real Player

Try this link: *www.customize.org/list/visplugs

Windows media plaver 11 for visual experience
Vlc media player for multi format support.

Media Monkey for its Library Management & Auto Shut Down Mode.

Winamp anyday .... superbly customizable ... something i want ... and specially the plugins that u can get to enhance ur audio experience ...

i tunes is good .... only itunes 7 is a little unstable other than that it is a decent program ..... winamp is a good player but i dont prefer its media library ....

winamp is de best soln.

Try iTunes 7 it is gr8

itunes 7 is unstable

Winamp is best for playing. But it does not have a good library management.
I would rather recommend MediaMonkey.It is one of the popular Audio media player available for free download.

Features:
1.Autovolume leveller
2.Good maintainance of library
3.Better management of audio tags
4.One of the best feature is, you can use Winamp as the drive engine to play songs!! So better library management + quality of playback!

Cheers

Nero Showtime is also good !

Thanks dude but all the visualizations available are for Winamp nothing for Windows Media Player

The best... Foobar !!

Light and Best: WINAMP !!!

Heavy and Best: JRiver Media Center (formerly Media Jikebox).

Worst of all Players: RealPlayer and ITunes !!!!

itunes is not a music player its only for transferring songs to ur pod ....

Winamp 4evr

For audio files-iTunes Rocks. No other, i mean no other has full features on the free version such as music store, graphic equalizer, transcoding etc
For Video files-VLC Media Player. It plays any kind of file, no need of codecs

D

anyday, anytime, anywhere....... you can count on VLC. if you need proof, try the portable version that needs no installation.

I use K-Lite code pack and it does the job perfectly!

Nothing else is required.....

am with you...

Winamp is the best.
as it light, comes with wide range of media type (build in), good playback quality etc..
Play media type like AACPlus (The MP3 Killer!) and then compare with other...

MP3 is not gonna go away soon mate. cos AACPlus is sony's proprietary format. And I don't think the music community would want to depend on a another corporation's format.

(WIN)amp is the best

yes, except for transferring music to your ipod, itunes is not at all a good choice.

Nothing can beat winamp and wmp11
i think winamp's music library is very good, very fast,lakhs of skins, internet tv in 5.08, radio (Shoutcast).

WMP is best to play videos,hundreds of visulations, exellent media library, URGE to buy music, rip cd, rite cd

Does ur media player give so many things as winamp & WMP

WMP & WINAMP rox, nothing can beat them in its class!!!

Windows Media Player 10

Winamp rox!!!

QCDplayer is good... But it doesnt have music library..

Am sorry I don’t know aacPlus is the property of sony.
But as far I know Ericsson Mobile Platform licensed for aacPlus v2 in 1995. When it comes to the use of such adv. coding technology, manufacture like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson etc are already lunched in their devices, it depends upon u to take the advantage of such code or not.

Most of the music company only looking at market and public demand not the technology. They have to change when we change, take a look even a regular CD with 100 MP3 songs is not easily digestible to most of us. When it said 400 number of MP3pro in same CD then what will happen… Hence it will take some time for us to leave old strategy.

If you were aware that it is out of topic, then why did you post it? Please keep the forum clean and tidy. Junk anywhere is an absolute no no.

Windows Media Player 11 + DFX Sound Enhancer
This is the best combination dude!!!

R

hey....buddy u can try "Quintessential Player".....it's very good.....

K

This is nothing very much interesting. Perhaps the best music playing software is Waneez

I Use WMP11 in Windows and amaroK in Linux, Only cuz both offer Fantastic Library Management..

K

i like foobar the best....

Foobar2k

..

Windows media player 11's library is good. It's good if you have many albums bcoz of the album art/thumbnail view
