Best/coolest/ect. Media Player?
<div class="IPBDescription">Wich one(s)?</div> Hej alle sammen.
Iam looking for a <span style='color:orange'>cool</span> media player. Iam stuck with WMP, after i switched back from winamp. Now iam looking for something good, something good looking. Something stylish, and functioning. So what do you use? What have you heard of, what have you used?
It ofcourse must be able to play the common musik (and video) files.
Thats it, what have you got?

really dont see why you went away from winamp... wanna share?
That doesn't help us understand the thought processes behind your choice to highlight it. I think winamp is a really cool player, for example.
On another note, iTunes' player seems like an after thought to me. As though apple said, "Aha, now we have a proprietary format that we can put our songs in and reign over like a steel hawk! They will never be able to simply download these songs and make copies without first burning an audio cd and subsequently ripping it! HA!. But how will they be able to play the songs? We hadn't thought of that! QUICK! Code one in!"
Mostly have all the codecs and stuff.
But i only use VLC Media Player for videos, not music.
Winamp 5.93 + <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13365665/' target='_blank'>this skin</a> ftw!
I use it for just about everything. Who cares if it isnt stylish, it spends 99% of the time minimized anyway.
Foobar2000 for music.

VLC is indeed very good when it comes to codecs. I usually just use WMP for movie files, but VLC is sort of like my back-up media player.
It does tend to freeze your taskbar from time to time, at least for me. But alt tabbing is an easy solution to that.
2) Real Alt and QT Alt for those specific formats.
3) VLC for everything else under the sun. ^_^

What version do you have?
I think they fixed it.
Try to download the newier version and install it agian.
It should be noted that the program is in english/korean so don't worry if some characters are unreadable to you hehe
Simplicity + functionality.
MPC has all the features of the newest media player, but it actually looks exactly the same as Windows media player 6.4. And it's faster when loading files and using fastforward in big video files.

[edit]
Lol I just replied, and now I read that MPC already has been posted... Ah well can't press the issue had enough I always say
Foobar2000 rocks as an audio player. SOOO much functionality, and really really lightweight. There are a ton of user interface plugins that can make it look as slick as you want.
Google loves you.
