Default which music player (s/w) sounds the best for you?


I tried these on different sound cards, for get about the interface, to me real player sounds the best and I got the most natural sound.. what you guyz think... lemme know. Winamp with DFX is abit ok, but still sounds too bright for me. Itunes, MediaMonkey..WMP etc etc are too light sounded even after tweaking the equalizer. Soundwise RealPlayer 10 free version with 3band EQ sounds like a winner to me.

if u want real sound there is only one thing , Quicktime

Quicktime when playing an audio stream, decompresses it in the RAM, which although results in a high RAM usage, but also pure sound. iTunes also uses the same engine, however it adds it's own equilizer which changes the purity

All the above other than winamp are lame... they use directsound and can never achieve bitperfect output. The best and most customisable mp3 player you can get is Foobar2000 with the ASIO plugin. Winamp is okay too as long as you use download and use the ASIO plugin. Avoid anything that uses Directsound for music like plague.

WMP 11 for organization of music and interface.
Vlc media player for playing virtually everything.
Sound: Tie between WMP11 and winamp.

Best Sound: WMP (My version is 10), due to its inbuilt True Bass & WOW Effect

Low Resource: Winamp, possibly the lower ver(prior to winamp 3) r better(if u dont wanna watch videos in Winamp)

But Windows Media Player Classic can play virtually everything.
I cant tell which is da best since I use various players for various situations.

I use itunes and If I need excellent and perfect audio quality, I switch to PowerDVD. Yes, powerdvd plays mp3, cd audio and it's quality can never be matched by winamp or other players.

I use and like Winamp, but I've noticed that when I play the same songs in iTunes, I seem to hear faint soft music that is unheard in Winamp. I forgot which song I tested with, but I'm sure I heard more with iTunes.
