For me it's windows media player. There r no options for fast forward, rewind, even the playlist is so pathetic to manage.

hmmm well IMHO its the best for me
the library management is the best easy to handle
easy to find
other player i use is Winamp
and i find its library management bad
yes i sure agree on WMP's playlist management
there is no enque function for an individual song
which i find annoying
other than that yes WMP is a bit tedious
but once you get the hang of it its as smooth as butter
so overall i find wmp the best

I would be happy if it were working in my sys.... But due to some faulty prob with the OS it does give me errors as kernel, virus or bd sector found.. I have to format it when I get time to see whether that is the prob.

Norton Antivirus - I will also prefer a virus. Damn..still usin it..can't find an alternative...

Internet Explorer - Damn..those bad days..makes my wound green..I agree firefox is low on features but now I don't need three firewalls and two anti-spyware to slow my comp.

Get Right - After I have started using DAP I realize.

All those Trillian type messengers.

Kazaa (without lite wala)

Any torrent client except BitComet(Thanks to sunnydiv who suggested me with this one)

Earlier versions of WMP(WMP 10 rocks except for playlist and resource hogging)

Errr....I Should have Mentioned there that My Reasons For Disliking it Were Entirely Due to My Inability to Make Good With it :oops: :oops:
You Can Call it a Case of "Sour Grapes" :(
But All's Not Lost Yet, I'll Keep Trying to Master it (Read My Siggie!) and One Day Hopefully I'll be as Proficient or Even Better than Guys Like Goobimama/CoolJeba/NikhilVerma etc :wink:

what do u mean by this

is getright better or DAP Premium ?

I am using DAP Premium from last 3 years.....and i have tried all the downlaod managers like flashget,,leechget,,,FDM,,,Getright...and many more...

But a Downlaod Manager like DAP i have never found anywhere !
its the best if u buy it coz in trial mode its adware like that of opera

and has one special feture which no any other DM has ...yes if the erver doesn't support resume feature then also DAP will support the Resume feture by the help of its free service known as Always Resume Service

just try the adware ad u will be satisfied and excited..its the best




other DM sucks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
like Getright and Leecheget

Leechget.....---even after downlaoding 20 mb it shown that u ahev downlaoded only 10 mb .and i ahev to downaldoo it again !!!!!!!!11

Getright.....nothing is right...nor the time and nor the speed..its display really sucks me a lot

The Wrost is Win 98 first edition and nothing Beats that
