    Know any good ones? I usually just use the windows media player (it doesn't deserve its capital letters), but recently its been freezing up for a few moments every now and then. At first i thought it was the internet, but it still did it when nothing was running. So anyway, i'm just uninstalling any media based applications i don't need anymore, as well as old codecs and stuff. And while thats going i thought i'd ask if anyone knew a good media player i could use instead. Something that can play everything, perhaps with the ability to have skins. I know lots of people like WinAmp an' all, but i really just want a player, no fancy features that i'm never gonna use.

    My current favourite word is: PIE! I have changed my name to my regular internet alias. But don't let the 'Genius' part fool you, you don't know what 'SK' stands for. -The Undefeated

                    Well, I'm afraid I have to speak up for Winamp. It's very small (both on-screen and in-memory), takes no noticeable CPU time, plays almost anything you can throw at it, and is extremely reliable. Sure it has a ton of features, but it's pretty much ready to use straight out of the box.

                      VLC - it's simple but will play pretty much everything. The best feature of it is that it will play any region dvd without needing to change the region on your dvd drive. :-D

                                        hehe. In this context it means I'll get verbally abused, jeered at, ripped off etc.

                                          Know any good ones? I usually just use the windows media player (it doesn't deserve its capital letters), but recently its been freezing up for a few moments every now and then. At first i thought it was the internet, but it still did it when nothing was running. So anyway, i'm just uninstalling any media based applications i don't need anymore, as well as old codecs and stuff. And while thats going i thought i'd ask if anyone knew a good media player i could use instead. Something that can play everything, perhaps with the ability to have skins. I know lots of people like WinAmp an' all, but i really just want a player, no fancy features that i'm never gonna use.

                                          My current favourite word is: PIE! I have changed my name to my regular internet alias. But don't let the 'Genius' part fool you, you don't know what 'SK' stands for. -The Undefeated

                                          It's still quite a way from a final release, but it's certainly worth keeping your eye out on this one: http://www.songbirdnest.com/ It's usable now, but I wouldn't want to switch over completely just yet. In the mean time I actually like iTunes too. (Just turn off all the annoying links to the iMusic store) Mat Wilcoxson England
