anyone here has the ideal player??
software for windows XP

MediaMonkey (audio)
its ok, free and plays most formats but not all, would buy a copy if it did more
used foobar2000 for a while

VLC media player (video)
again free, would pay if it did more
it has alot of video formats built in, not all tho


try not to buy software that dosnt have a demo doing exactly what i want.

 

Windows Media Player for most things, DivX Player or PowerDVD for others.

 

Windows media for some, VLC for others, I have quicktime if necessary, and PowerDVD pro for movies.

 

For music, only itunes. I had foobar but rarely used it.

 

iTunes (on my pc @ work, and mac @ home)

 

I was using MusicMatch but recently switched to Rhapsody. I've got it serving my collection (and 'net radio) over WiFi to a Roku Soundbridge in another room.
