Best Media Player

[gesc]

Hi guys,

I am going to ditch Win MP so which application do you recommend me to use?

The selection is quite impressive, and I don't where to start??

I was thinking of the best audio/video combo. And of course spyware free.

Someone recommended me Bang & Olufsen's BeoPlayer. Any good since this company makes high-end kind of audio utilities.

Of course, freeware only please. :icon_thum

Cheers,

Media Player Classic and/or VLC

[wonderboy2005]

VLC is my favorite... you don't need to find codecs because they are built in. its a very lightweight program but has so many options. Plus, its free and open source.

VLC is also my favourite.

media player classic with kazaa lite codec pack, real alternative and quicktime alternative.

I've mentioned the Korean Media Player. Got alot of VLC and MPlayer in it, endless options for audio, video, even plays nsv files.

For audio files use foobar and for video use vlc or kmp. Its all you will ever need.

If I only had one player it would be Jetaudio.It plays every audio and video file you can throw at it.It's the most complete player I have found.My other "must haves" are RealAlternative w/MPC, BSPlayer(not that great but a good backup player) VLC(of course) and Winamp.

I had trouble getting the KMP going...some files corrupted or something...

Hi,

Has anyone used this awesome product of Bang & Olufsen?

I'm just concerned about privacy issues and how many resources it might use.

winamp

@nukehella I downloaded jetaudio to try it out and I cant seem to find a setting to increase the brightness, is there one?

[Greylin]

I use VLC and every once in a while Crystal Player. I'm going to have to check out the Korean Media Player though.

My favorite media player is JetAudio, it plays almost all media formats without installing codec. I use VLC to play bin and cue files, and WinAmp sometimes. I don't really use Windows Media Player that much anymore.


Thanks.:icon_sunn

The best media player I have found for audio files is Jet Audio. It also does a great job playing video files although my favorite video player remains BSPlayer. Both players play almost all codecs and you should not need to keep downloading extra codec packs just to play particular files :icon_thum

Any player will play video files from bin and cue if you mount it with daemon tools. I use foobar and microsoft media player, but you have to install divx xvid codec to play back all other movies.

Yesterday I downloaded Zoom Player and so far am very satisfied with what I am seeing. So far it played every file I threw at it, and it has a huge amount of options such as I have never seen in any other media player...

First off I would really sudgest downloading the ACE mega codec pack as for media players I am using the one provided with ace. Are there any better codec packs out there that I am not aware of?

K-Lite Tools is a great codec pack which is constantly updated with the latest codecs. Never tried ACE though.

[mountain_rage]

Best codec pack I would say k-lite, but ace gets alot of positive feedback as well.

Mountain Rage pretty much nailed it

VLC and foobar2000, though i like to install media player classic for it's ability to load flash files without a clunky browser window around them.
