Neeranam Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I am having problems with Winamp and Window media. What are the alternatives to get? Someone suggested one before to me but I can't find that thread for the life of me and can't remember which one it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Media player classic (not a MS product) and vlc are two I use most. Both free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunk Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 VLC is good also supports FLV formats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSurfer Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I use MediaMonkey, and now I'm trying out the New 'Songbird' player (mozilla based).. very interesting and Novel approach. For Videos I use "The KMplayer".. PLAYS everything. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solent01 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Media player classic works great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Try the free KMPlayer - plays most things including DVD. KMPlayer I find WMP with K-Lite Codec Pack works just fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I use Divx Player, the best for the rendering (?) of the movies, and 'eat' nearly everything and is the only, I think, to have rew and Ffw. When I need to play Mkv files the best is Media Player Classic (MPC). When I need to play something with subtitles (I'm italian) the easiest is VLC Media Player. All are for free, only Divx need a cheep upgrade to be fully operational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learnthaipodcast Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 VLC is imo the best media player when it comes to watching videos. For music i stick with good old Winamp or iTunes to manage my iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 light solution and variety of settings like post processing, upscaling and a tons of settings. media player classic homecinema and ffdshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve2UK Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 For FLV (Flash video), I still like the GOM player. Coincidentally, last Wednesday's Bangkok Post "Database" supplement carried some recommendations for media players: "I have found the easiest way to solve all your video and sound problems is to download the KLM Codec Pack. It's free and you can find it at www.codecpackguide.com/klmcodec.htm. Grab the Mega Codec Pack and install it. Included is a Media Player Classic and Media Player Classic Home Cinema that between them will be able to play just everything you can download. The pack also includes a Real Player alternative."

stumonster Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) my vote is for the klite pack media player classic real alternative quicktime alternative I went from it to VLC for a while ( and VLC portable ) but I was not happy with the sider bar for fast forward so I have gone back to klite and media player classic and will wait till VLC gets to ver1.0 oh , and winamp lite for your mp3's Edited December 27, 2008 by stumonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tung_Thaid Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 MediaMonkey for music. I use the Gold version for volume levelling - but the free version has pretty much everything else. Including plugins for iPod / iPhone / CD ripping etc.. Media Player Classic for movies (as part of K-lite codec package - latest download = Version 4.42 Full Mega Pack) VLC for the occasional movie file that Media Player Classic gets hung up on. The above choices after trialling: dBpoweramp - Foobar - GOM - J River Media Jukebox - Jet Audio - Quicktime - Quintessential Player - Quintessential Media Player - Real Player - Spider Media Player - Total Video Player - Tunebrite Platinum - Winamp 5.51.

katana Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I could never get GOM Player to play DVDs properly (the picture was distorted) so uninstalled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdocxx Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Mp3gain, I have used it but it doesn't work that great, on my mp3 player, I need to adjust the volume frequently between different songs. I suppose I could do it manually, using the mp3gain controls, what a chore that would be though. I don't think that itunes does it very well either. I've used MPC and KLite too for video, though I don't watch much video on my computer. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lor Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Maybe it's moe than you want but it plays everything I throw at it! from Video, to Music to Photo's. Videos can be played back from avi's, mkv, iso's, DVD folders, zip files! etc etc The Library mode is fantastic, downloads the video/movie/TV Show information by itself and has a great graphic display. It's XBMC. You can download free versions for both Windows and Mac, and of course it's also available for the old Xbox. Best Multimedia product there is (In my opinion) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) I am having problems with Winamp and Window media. What are the alternatives to get?Someone suggested one before to me but I can't find that thread for the life of me and can't remember which one it was. A lot of people just use iTune's media player (along with the attendant Quick Time player), as most everyone has an iPod though you don't need one to use the player. Does most everything, organizing, library, tags, streams, burns/rips, etc, very stable. iTunes Medial Player download Edited December 28, 2008 by cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 VLC for Video, iTunes for mp3s. Just change the default rip format in iTunes to mp3 high quality, it's set to AAC by default. Media Player Classic is also supposed to be good but I never tried b/c VLC was pretty much handling everything very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I use Quintessential Player. It's free and easy to use. MUCH better than Windows Media Player. Select a file or a folder. I listen to audio books and selecting the folder with a click of the mouse is very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungcas Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Add a vote to KMplayer for me.. I used to be a fan of VLC and MPC(which are both great in my opinion), but after using KMplayer, I'm sticking with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
