I like using VLC for certain file types and Radio but, for just listening to music in my library, I like using Windows Media Player. Its there, pre-installed on Windows, it works, organizes my playlists, no need to install anything else. *shrugs* I…

Exactly. It's free also. WMP is a resource hog. I always fire resource hogs.

I would use VLC because its opensource and its fast to. It can play lots of music file types. Its also for linux, mac, and windows.

VLC. It can play almost every video format and, for some magical reason, can play DVDs that don't seem to work on my DVD player application.

When I set up someones new computer, there are only two programs I install without asking... VLC and CCleaner... I use VLC as standard player on both my computers, and I like it. The only reason I have Quicktime, is because some of my old games req…

VLC for all video and Winamp (like the skins) for .mp3's works for me. VLC is great for playing stuff that WMP won't touch, even 'broken' .avi's. With a good codec pack you rreally don't need anything else. Real Media files I generally avoid anyway…

VLC & have also used Jetaudio. Funny thing with WMP- I have a 5.1 set of speakers but it will only play sub & front L/R in WMP. In the other players, all speakers function...I've looked through every dialog box for sound/audio I can find- I just ca…

i use Media Player for everything, it plays everything with K-lite. I like the design, Even though VLC just WORKS for everything and is simple to use, i like how WMP looks, at least on my PC.

Try Xvid, another variation of Mpeg4, but better, more efficient, better compression. Quicktime is a slug.

Computerwhiz1 replied to Dan Kane's discussion 'VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player'

Personally, I loath proprietary formats. Why can't we all just get along. I export all my videos in .mp4 because that seems to work on most everything, but come on Microsoft, even Apple the king of proprietary has a media player (quicktime) that wil…

Windows Media player is SLOW? Since when? What are you running on, a x486? I've never had anything but super slippery goose poop speed out of WMP, ability to configure, many plugins and codecs available, The only thing that I can't play with WMP is…
