I need a good media player to play music/vids. What do you guys use and recommend?
Use separate players for music and videos. VLC/Pure Codec Player for videos and Winamp for music or whatever works for you.
Combined Community Codec Pack and Media Player Classic for vids
Winamp for music
I like VLC and Media Player Classic. There’s also the K-Lite codec packs.
I use kmplayer for video
and Foobar2000 for music, they are both very powerful and have lots of functions
I use Media Player Classic coupled with FFDShow to handle all the various codecs.
I watch a lot of DVDs that have interlaced video and FFDShow has some amazing deinterlacing abilities.
If you don’t want to fool with a lot of settings, I suggest VLC. It usually plays anything without too much fiddling.
GOM player for videos, and Foobar 2000 for my music
VLC/foobar2000
I’ve had too many compatability issues with ffdshow to keep those bloody things installed.
VLC
Amarok
MPlayer
Same.
VLC is an amazing movie player.
I generally listen to music through my 360 and my sound system so the only music player on my windows system is WMP11. I use Amarok on my Linux boxes. I’ve yet to find a decent light weight music player.
