Enchanter, I was going to say that, but I wanted to keep my spam card...

I don't like realone player, because I have it and it always wants to be the default player. it has two buttons that tell me if I want to keep it as the default player, or keep it as the default player.
I get, ok, or details that give me the options " ok" or "remind me later". later..(5min) I get this same stupid message. I want to keep Real one for all my mp3's...

So what is the best movie player in your opinion? We're not talking about what beef you have with what players.

For MP3s, there are many players with better sound quality than Winamp. One of them would have to be Coolplayer.

Where's Zoomplayer?

Well, from the above list:
AVI/OGM -> Windows Media Player 6.4

DVD/SVCD -> WinDVD

Normally I use Zoomplayer for all video media.

I've never had problems with windows classic MP. It's simple and has a nice layout.

edit >> Enchanter, can an audio player really make a difference in sound quality?

It's difficult to say.

I personally found slight difference in sound quality between BSPlayer and WMP (with the former having the better sound). This is probably due to the use of WaveOut, compared to WMP's default DirectSound. I am using the Videologic Sirocco Crossfire as my speakers, so the sound quality difference may not even be noticed on lesser systems.

I use these players the most of the time and never encountered any trouble with these players:

AVI/MPG files:
BSPlayer and WMP 6.4 or Zoomplayer (newest version)!!

DVD:
PowerDVD XP or WinDVD but i prefer PowerDVD!!

Sound Quality...

As fars as mp3 players I've noticed a big difference in sound
quality among players...
My vote goes to MusicMatch 7.5!! After spending lots of time
tinkering with the 'sound enhancers' and EQs... MM's
'level limiting' eq seems to blow WMP away... On my system
MM sounds much better....
I'm running the basic SoundBlaster 512 PCI with the kick *ss
Altec Lansing 621 flagship 3 pc. speakers (200w Max).

Movie players....tricky question for me...
I've been trying various codec packs and d/ls, I don't really
think that there's a single player that will play any and every
video file out there, I don't care how many codec packs you've
got. I rotate between WMP 9, Divx Player 2.0, and an obscure
little player called 'Xvid ' which seems to play a lot of files that
the other two won't.

I've seen various references to WinMedPlyr 6.x.... Does it do
better than the 9 series? (For movie playing...)

Still learning...

Did you include winamp in your tests? MM is a massive resource hog; I used to use it for ripping until I switched to Easy CD-DA Extractor.

Most people very much dislike the new WMP. I personally can't stand it... The few times I've used it it's done it's job... but eh... I'm sure most anyone would say 6.x is better than the new ones
