    It's that time of the year again... Since my favorit, @Max Tray Player, doesn't run on Win7 x64 anymore, I am on the hunt again. My favorite features were: - Play+Next Buttons in / besides the tray - Doesn't need to "Scan your disk to build a media library" - Simple selection of files to play - pass "/play" on command line to continue playing I've tried WinAmp classic for a while, but it's out for it's measely semihalf-pixel-sized-buttons and the rather annoying add files method.

      VLC works fine for me - it plays everything I throw at it. EDIT ========= Really? A 1-vote? If you're gonna do that, at least have the balls to man-up and state an alternative. Hell, I might even end up agreeing if it's valid.

        Yup. Is the best!

        The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

                I second MPC HC. But VLC will play anything though, so always handy to keep around.

                    Doesn't Windows Media Player (WMP) meet your requirements? Disclaimer: I'm not saying it does. I don't have Weven here at work and don't use it much at home (certainly not for media). Just wondering...

                      For music, I use WimAmp. For video, after VLC refused to play some files and started crashing quite a bit, I switched to Media Player Classic and am very happy with it. It's extremely stable and rarely fails to work.

                        I use VLC for almost everything - except Shoutcast. For some reason Shoutcast doesn't work so great in VLC, or maybe I just haven't set it up yet. For Shoutcast, I use Songbird. Nice interface and works pretty easily.

                              Since I use it for videos, and opening a video kills my current "unsaved playlist", it's already out. I've tried it a few times, but never got to like the selection of songs.
