Whats your media/music player, and why?

[Fire cat]

Windows Media Player 12, because I don't use any, and that's the one pre-installed on windows so, thats the one. If not, I use an Ipod touch.

I use AIMP 2. It's a free music player and does a lot more that WMP ever thought of.

Thanks for sharing Niburu!
I think, that finaly I am going to move on to winamp...

 

[Nibiru2012]

WinAmp is okay... I used to be an avid user of it for years.

Since I discovered AIMP2 I haven't looked back. Just a good as WinAmp, if not better and definitely more features and configurations.

Hey Niburu does it have a burning tool for audio cd's?

I use Foobar 2000 for basic listening. It doesn't import your whole collection, just open cd's. files or folders or make playlists. It's small and light.

 

[Nibiru2012]

Unfortunately it does not have burning capabilities. I use Ashampoo Burning Studio for most my audio apps.

Sometimes I use Easy CD/DA Extractor because of it's powerful conversion and burning engines.

Windows Media Player 12 & Video Lan are my main players. I use Creative Media Lite (which came with my Stone mp3 player) to rip my CD's as mp3 if needed

 

[Mychael]

VLC media player for just playing stuff. Unfortunately a bit tied into itunes as I have an iphone. Might take a look at AIMP 2.

 

[draceena]

Just for fun, I tried out the Windows Media Player ripping capability and am more than pleasantly surprised. It seems to rip almost twice as fast as my Creative program, it grabbed all the text info correctly as well as the album cover art....looks like I may be able to retire my Creative program with results like this

 

[Veedaz]

Ive used VLC for a long time ... because I like it

 

[Thrax]

I've used WinAmp since 1999, and I will never change.

I use it for ripping for those very reasons.

If you're going to rip tracks, I suggest CDEx. It'll grab album info and whatnot, but its mp3 encoder produces vastly better results than what WMP craps out. Better bitrate control, better encoder quality and so on.

 

[yodap]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. If these old tin ears can hear a difference I'll keep.it.

I generally rip at 192kbps as I find it a nice balance of size and quality.

QMP v 5.0.
Have hundreds of music sub folders, thousands of music files.
Have QMP pinned, when opened I pick a folder or two and the
player loads and plays for hours.
