Post Which is your preferred media player?


As for myself I prefer Windows Media Player.Specially because of the 'Hyperbass' enhancement.Eventhough I'm not really content with the media file management ,WMP provides a better sound experience than the other players I've tried.

i use vlc(with real plugin)+gomPlayer. will play virtually ANYTHING.
also, vlc has a double pass filter to take out the noise from a audio file, and it also has a highly customisable equaliser

Windows Media Player for Audio

M Player for windows for video (this player seems to have the most features of all players). i specially like its ability to synch subtitles , its audo filters & enhancements.it can also search for subtitles on opensubtitles.org & find the best match. perfect for movies.

I do. Just not been using Windows for quite some time now. So forgot to post it here. I prefer it over VLC in Windows.


When I get back home, I'm going to try amaroK on Arch Linux. I want to experience the full blast of KDE.
