Which is your favorite free media player? Why? Why do you think it owns all and stomps the competition? This can be a media player that only plays audio, video or an all in one player that plays anything you can throw at it.

So far, top nominations are as follows. Got any others to add to the list? Post a link and info and why you think your player OWNZZZ the competition.

In no particular order;

1. Media Player Classic - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=84358

2. VLC(VideoLan Client) - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

3. QCD (Quintessential Media Player) - http://www.quinnware.com/

4. iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/

5. WinAmp - http://www.winamp.com/

6. Zoom Player - http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/featuredetail.shtml

Any of these tops on your list of what media player you think kicks big booty on all the others? Why or why not? Any of these need to burn and go down in flames due to bugs and horrible dissapointments? Why? Whats your pick if it isn't one on this list? What makes it so special?

There have been several threads on this already...

I use Winamp for audio and WMP for video. Winamp has global hotkeys which makes my life a breeze, and WMP is already there... no messing about with other crap.

Winamp for audio, same reasons as Zxian and hands down Vlc wins for video. unrivalled format compatability. ive yet to find a file that i cant play on it. unlike all the others
