Re: Media Players
I use Winamp (version 2 actually, not a resource hog) for MP3's, and Windows Media Player (version 7, not going to upgrade and give them legal access to my computer) for any video.

Re: Media Players
I use WMP 9 for mpeg, mpg, and avi
I use Winamp 5 LIGHT for mp3s, wav, midi, (classic skin, i hate the other skins)
I use windvd 5 for any dvd or dvd format files
I will NEVER USE REALPLAYER, and the reason is that it is slow, has spyware inside of it (although not technically spyware because it's reporting directly to real media, but uses 100% of cpu because of it.... when it runs it's spying stuff around midnight)
I use quicktime for mov files
Each have their pros and cons as to why i do not use them for 'everything'. I am one for using many programs simply because each have a whole set of GOOD features for different things.... what one lacks, the other one is MADE for.

I use Sonique for my mp3s. I use WinAmp5 for the streaming TV and radio stations. Windows Media Player for most videos. DivX for divx movies. And InterVideo WinDVD for dvds.

Re: Media Players
I use Real One because Windows Media crashed on my PC...
I have winamp too (at least six other programs), but I haven't used it. I probably should. Real One sucks, hah.

I got sick of winamp and windows media player, so I decided to try it out, and I love it!
For video files I use Windows Media Player, but i'm forced to use real player on sites like mlb.com and comedeycentral.com to watch their videos.
I don't watch dvds on my computer. I use my X-Box or PS2 for that.

When attempting something never done before there will always be critics who say it can't be done. For if everyone agreeded it could be, somone would have already done it.
