I use MusicMatch Jukebox 10. It is great for track tagging.

Windows Media Player!

I can categorize and organize all my music just the way I like it! Very simple layout too! I never understood what was so great about Jukebox. I keep Winamp close at hand for anything WMP can't play, although I'll usually end up converting it to something WMP understands.

Paul, you should try Real Alternative. It lets programs use the Real format for whatever God knows why reason, but just the basic thing - none of all that rubbish the real Real Player installs!

Winamp, and sometimes the XM Player for music; the VLC-Player for movies.

Hmm, my most-used is WMP, but WinAmp has the best equalizer. Hard to use it while gaming, tho, cuz it's a resource-eater, and it really gets laggy when playing videos.

Strange. My sister bought a really fudged up CD, and my DVD player, DVD+/-RW and my DVD-ROM were all having trouble reading it. Only with WMP could I eek out a relatively skip-free viewing. Not to say I prefer WMP for DVD watching. That's where PowerDVD comes in.

Winamp for music, WMP for video. Winamp works great while flying longhauls. Just put in my music map (6 Gb) put it on shuffle play and fly for hours at a time. No problems.

I use RealPlayer 10.5 just because I find it simple to use. Windows Media Player, I have had some bad experiences with so I lost my taste for it Undecided

definately I-tunes the visualisations are so much better than media player, and you can be safe in the knowledge that it isnt as likely to have been stolen from somebody. [cough] Microsoft [cough]

iTunes, cause I've got an iPod and it's one in the eye to M$ and it's better and many other reasons.

Though most of the time if I want to listen to music i'll use my Hifi.

I rarely listen to music on the PC as I have a perfectly good hi-fi. I find IrfanView as good as any for general sound files.
