RogueHart Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 for music its winamp(obviously. foxytunes shows what im listening to in my forum posts) for videos(all of them) gotta be the km player. http://www.download.com/The-KMPlayer/3000-...4-10659939.html the absolute best video player ive ever used. its got everything i need. auto saving screenshots so i can have stocks for photoshop, and an audio ripper so i can get opening songs when i want them. ---------------- Now playing: Bullet for my valentine - All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) via FoxyTunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can't stand Windows Media Player or Winamp. VLC is what I use, but that lacks features, I wish iTunes wasn't so annoying, I'd probably use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't like winamp too much, but I use it for audio. VLC for video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 i think we all agree winamp is a horrible video player. but it the best audio player ive used. thats why i got media player classic(not a microsoft thing). it was great. but then i found km player. which has helped with all of my hobbies lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I actually use Winamp for video :P and VLC when I need subtitles or some obscure codecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmer Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I HATE WINAMP!! Sorry for that I just well really do hate it. I like VLC. Reason well it has command line suport isn't all fancy and over packed with GUI features (To get advance features ypu basically use the command line. Oh and that I have wrote a script to rip DVDs into a iPod format this even includes DVD that Handbrake couldn't rip. If anyone is interested here's the script. All You do is tell it what titles the names and whether you want to test them before it rips those titles. @echo off :start echo Welcome to Video to iPod Converter!! echo This will convert your Videos that you select to iPod compatible format echo When your done just import to iTunes and sync your iPod echo This will put the conveted video on your desktop cd %userprofile%\desktop :malt set /p first1=First Video or Title? set /p type1=What type of video is this, 1.File, 2.DVD, or 3.Internet File? if %type1%==1. set type1="%first1%" if %type1%==2. set type1=dvd://@%first1% if %type1%==3. set type1="%first1%" set /p second2=Second Video or Title? set /p type2=What type of videp is this a 1.File, 2.DVD, or 3.Internet File? if %type2%==1. set type2="%second2%" if %type2%==2. set type2=dvd://@%second2% if %type2%==3. set type2="%second2%" set /p third3=Third Video or Title? set /p type3=What type of video is this a 1.File, 2.DVD, or 3.Internet File? if %type3%==1. set type3="%third3%" if %type3%==2. set type3=dvd://@%third3% if %type3%==3. set type3="%third3%" set /p fourth4=Fourth Video or Title? set /p type4=What type of video is this 1.

Sparda Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just installed iTunes to see if the situation had improved and it hasn't. Still can't play half of the stuff I have collected (like Windows media Player) but unlike the WMP it tries to index the music directory in the background but fails horribly by been unusable for the duration of indexing. WMP will only let you do it in the foreground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Dragon Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I use Banshee and VLC or Totem on Ubuntu and iTunes and VLC on Windows. Haven't skinned the players specifically, but I got rid of the orange Ubuntu theme and now use a combination of MurrinaCobalt and DarkGray'72.

markhimself Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 well i use Winamp for media, as WMP11 on vista uses too much memory, iTunes is very buggy and laggy in Vista, so Winamp is the best for music. Spider Player under XP is the best for music on my laptop, uses like 0 memory and 0 CPU :). for videos i use VLC as no plugins or codecs required to play even the most complex and crappy codec files.
