Need good multimedia player for windows

[Johnson]

Of course, I tried winamp, but it wouldn't play any mpeg4 content and I couldn't get the plugins working correctly.

I need something that plays mp3's and mpeg4 audio and video.

Thanks.

Media Player Classic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/)

It's the best one.

[krakjoe]

VLC hands down ....

Thirdsies for VLC

Windows Media Player + klite codec pack.

[Keagle]

VLC, fourthed.

[RadixHosting]

WMP or WMP Classic in combination with the K-Lite Codec Pack.

[Johnson]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm already using vlc for video, I need a dedicated music player.

[krakjoe]

why install two bits of software when you have a piece of software that does what you want already ?? also you said audio and video in your OP

Does vlc support playlists and such?

[RadixHosting]

Winamp should be able to play Mpeg4 files... Have you tried installing the K-Lite Codec Pack?

[Johnson]

Yes I have, no dice.

[RadixHosting]

Yes I have, no dice.

Hmm. Converting the Mpeg4 files to MP3 is not option either?

[Johnson]

That's what I decided on.

amarok is a good media player. I'm not sure where to find a windows version though. However i believe they have them.

iTunes?

[themoose]

I've heard Foobar is good.

I downloaded foobar last night, I think it'll be what I need.



iTunes?
The computer I'm putting it on only has a PIII.

In other words: Apple can't manage to develop efficient applications.

[Johnson]

For windows, no.

Total Video Player (http://www.download.com/3000-2139_4-10579867.html). Plays pretty much every type of video/audio. Supports playlists.

Their interface looks familiar ;)

VLC .. plays almost everything and u dont have to be bothered with codecs....

[fireshark]

VLC is good for playing everything, but it fails at playing anything well. The bundled libavcodec (ffmpeg) is a very old version, the interface isn't user friendly (slider for seek bar?) and several implementations just don't work (---/SSA softsubs, I'm talking to you).

[bigperm]

I use foobar for music and Media Player Classic for video.

I use this codec pack.

[notnamed]

I dare you to find a codec not in this pack (http://free-codecs.com/download/ACE_Mega_CoDecS_Pack.htm).

[fireshark]

I dare you to find a codec not in CCCP.

[bigperm]

It's not a matter of how many codecs are in a pack. That's bloat.

It's about having the fewest files that will play the most files.

[JonnyH]

Whats wrong with WMP with a codec pack?

[xruntime]

There are two main options:

1) VLC
2) Media Player Classic

I use the second cause the interface is real simple and slick. It can play most videos, except for x264, xvid, and other specialized codecs. But I can just install those on the side if I need them.

[Dini]

I can't belive nobody mentioned RealPlayer. It has an awesome interface, even better than iTunes (that including the iPod managment)

[Cam.]

iTunes should work on a P3...

It's also great for DVDs!

MediaMonkey? If you have an iPod it's great, it adds the album cover to the ID3
