Subject: What mp3 player do you use ...

Written By: whistledog on 04/09/06 at 4:34 pm

... to play mp3's on your computer?

I use WinAmp, a) because i've been using it for a very long time now, and b) i'm too lazy to try anything else.  WinAmp does the job ;D


I used to use the Sonique mp3 player, but I didn't like how the menu screens took so long to load


What do you use?

Hmm.. on my computer? I just use Window's Media Player. As far as I know, it's the only one that hooks up directly to MSN's Music feature.

I like WinAMP a bit better, though.

Best of all...it's free!

However, the 'converter' add-on isn't...(but you can PM me for more info' if you want)


Just downloaded it.  It's a pretty good player, but it's too simplistic for my needs ;D

I need a player with all the bells and whistles.

Windows Media Player... It has a lot of extras and it's plays a lot of file types.. It's really quite nice. Both iTunes and Windows Media Player use the MSN plug-in, Andrew..

I used to use MusicMatch Jukebox on my old comp, but when it crashes, I started using either Ares or Windows Media Player. On this one I use iTunes just 'cause it hooks up to the network.

I like Winamp 5 the best. Using the media library means easy access to all my music files. I also make my own special playlists for different moods/styles rather than just playing a huge mix of different songs. It does it's job. I used iTunes for all of 10 minutes, but never liked it. Windows Media Player is installed as with Realplayer, but thy are rarely used.

I also like the interface:

I haven't used that version of WinAmp. I used to use it, but that was about four years ago.

Since Winamp has been not working for me lately, I've switched back to Sonique, and it's awesome.  It's also no longer available, so I was lucky to still have it on my hard drive.  When you right click the screen, you get animated menu options.  It's only downside is that it doesn't have a scroll bar, so you can't fast forward through a song

WMP 10.  I've never had a reason to use anything else.

Since getting my ipod I've been using Itunes but previously I've used Windows Media Player and RealPlayer. To be honest, I've preferred WMP all this time but I can't use it with my ipod.

I use Windows Media Player, and sometimes Foo Bar if WMP is giving me problems.
