Which media player do you use?

I am currently using VLC. It's a good media player, but I got it originally because my brother had given me some videos which apparantly could only be opened in it (I found out later he was wrong), but I still use it. I don't really like Windows media center for Vista, nor media player. I'm opposed to itunes. I only use it for putting music onto my ipod, which I also hate. So, which media player do you use? I'm kind of wanting to get a different one. I like VLC, but I'm kind of sick of it.

If you are kind of sick of vlc, why do you like it? I use media player for most things that will play on it and vlc for the ones that won't or when I want to make caps from the video. Of course some things won't play on vlc either, so I have players for them also. I actually forget whether vlc will play rm files or flv files since they always open in the players I have for them. What is good about vlc is that you don't have to hunting around for more codecs if you get a video that won't play in media player. Also I like that it is stand alone and doesn't have to be installed.

I like it, but I'm getting sick of it and liking it less. It's good, but also very basic.

I use windows media player most times but i've found myself using itunes more!! It's easier to just play one album instead of keep switching and adding different songs, its' got a cute design too haha.

Usually quicktime. But VLC is my backup. It will play nearly every file out there and definitely will try.

I use Winamp for my music as it uses very little processing power, meaning I can get on with my other programs (usually games) without any lag. I generally use either Windows Media Player or VLC for my movies.

I use Winamp. It has a good equaliser.
