What music player do you use?

[cybertect]

plus it doesn't handle FLAC which puts it compleatly out of the running for me

If you're on OS X there's Fluke, which allows you to play FLAC files within iTunes.

Dunno if there's something similar for Windows, though.

I'm using the latest Winamp for music and GOM Player for video, it's a bit slicker looking than VLC, which I was using until recently, and has slow motion/fast motion options.

Winamp - in classic mode...
It's fast, easy and super simple.

Plays all the files I want, I can organise my own music in folders.

Quick! Put all your 20th century drum n bass on shuffle!

Ha! I can do that like that. Like that.

iTunes. Although I don't like how they make it a hassle to share music.

Foobar. Very lightweight (which is essential when it comes to a computer nearing 10 years of service) and does everything I want it to.

Am I the only person who uses

Based on Mozilla, has loads of plug-ins, pulls down data on bands you're listening to like videos, podcasts, pictures, tourdates etc etc.

And looking at that playlist, I must point out it's from the website, not me...

downlaoaded! i like it, familier interface i like the liove updfating much better then itunes. I can't seem to find a decent equaliser but off a little play tis good.

Wow, songbird looks pretty good. Very itunes. No CD-ripping yet though

 

[Voley]

Am I the only person who uses Songbird?

I tried that but I couldn't get it to display album art and I found the navigation a pain in the arse. Went back to Windows Media Player after a bit. Also I couldn't find a crossfading thing for it - I like that feature in WMP when you've got loads of stuff on shuffle.

 

[Crispy]

must be what you're used to
Whenever I find myself using WMP, I get completely lost in the navigation, but the itunes layout (sources on the left, three browser columns, list at the bottom) is so intuitive to me.

 

[Voley]

I think you're right Crispy. When it takes you a while to learn a new bit of kit I quite often give up if it doesn't happen quickly.

I've still got Songbird on my PC and might give it another go- I would like a replacement for WMP. It can be a bit slow scrolling through a massive mp3 collection like mine.

 

[Crispy]

Thing is, I picked up itunes really quickly, but WMP has always been inpenetrable.

For the record, I think Spotify has the best music player interface around.

Loving the lyrics add-on for songbird. Thats a very welcome feature.

no cd importing is kinda lame and as i said above i want to have an equaliser for different genres, thats handy.

had alook for one in the add ons but it aint there.(i think)

also is there a way to make the volume the same on every song?


dave

 

[dogmatique]

Yep, in Options, Playback, there's an audio normalization box, change it to by track, the default is by Album.

 

[kained&able]

anyway to make it play videos?

it picks up the audio track form the various vids i have but i have yet to find a way for it actually play them.

Good work on the volume that was pissing me off and coldnt find anutything in help.

[kyser_soze]

iTunes for tunes, VLC for video, Coreplayer for video on the phone.

If someone can recommend me a hassle free iTunes lite (i don't bother with podcasts, buying stuff from Applestore etc, or use genius) I'd be quite happy to uninstall iTunes...

 

[Voley]

I just tried Songbird again. It's shite.

 

[dogmatique]

anyway to make it play videos?

EDIT: By August 09, together with CD ripping, though not started yet.
