Windows Media Player vs. Winamp

[v1l3]

I've bounced around some pages online to see which program seems to be the best and not.. I've been switching back and forth between the two of them over the years, and wanted to see what everyone around here thinks is better sound-wise? Seems like most think Winamp is better?

[werldhed]

I've always been a fan of Winamp, but I'm really digging WMP 11. I like its interface and organization much better than Winamp.

Granted, I haven't upgraded winamp for years, so I don't know how the newest version works.

(and oddly, winamp is much slower for me)

Winamp for music
Media Player Classic for vids

Yea, a really though one, this

I too was a winamp fan for years. I know(show'ng my years again)..

I was/am also tossing between the two atm v1l3

For me, personally now, winamp for quick/easy listening and wmp for the tough stuff

I used Winamp exclusively for music up until I switched over to Linux. Now I use Amarok.

Latest Winamp for mp3s, WMP 11 for movies.

[Grudge]

winamp 1.91 was the shit back in the day

WMP has always been shit

Me: iTunes for music and media player classic or VLC player for movies

[phantasmagoria]

Foobar for music.
VLC for video.

Have done for years. Simplicity is paramount.

[Whiskey 7]

VLC for video

[Ryoki]

Itunes or winamp for music, WMP classic for vids.

[Peenyuh]

Nero6 fer tunes and Real fer video.

Phuq iTUNES! They keep stickin their noses into my library and organizing shit. Makes me feel like Big Brother is watching. As if watching me outta my tv screen wasn't enough fer em!

[Fender]

Uncheck "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" you idiot.

[Peenyuh]

Okay. I'll do it. Umm... Howz zat work when I uninstalled it months ago and swore never to put that demon software on my baby again? Is it a check box in the "FenderBlowsGoats" menu bar?

[Transient]

WTF Peenyuh.

[+JuggerNaut+]

the foo owns you. but really, if you think you can tell sound quality between those two, lol.

[Peenyuh]

Seriously, I pay attention to these type threads. I'm always looking to increase my input experiance. Truth: I only just learned that an mp3 cd holds a boat load more music than the audio discs I've been makin.

Windows Media Player vs. Winamp? Are these two really the best two options?

[+JuggerNaut+]

for the noob? yes.

[Peenyuh]

And, fer the notsonoob?

[+JuggerNaut+]

foobar

I can't seem to make it load my album art that itunes embedded into the tracks though.

I use Winamp for one reason and it's two words...

Ok, so it's just one word that they squeezed out of two words.

use the folder.jpg method. The embedded images I come across in music files are low res and shit anyway, I always delete them.

Also, that FooAVA is sexy, do you know if it's been updated for columnsUI? panelsui isn't supported anymore. Personally, I use Br3tt's Kameleon pretty much out of the box, because I can't be arsed with too much customization: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ind ... opic=69485

I think Milkdrop works with foobar.
