i'm losing patience with invalid page faults on closing due *ahem* incompatability with 3rd party plug-ins i.e. audioscrobbler, an issue which seemingly they acknowledge but refuse to address. it also keeps locking up and freezibg the computer if i scan a mp3, i.e. move it to another place. ther have been 2 updates to winamp recently, clearly they still have some underlying problems. anywayz! if you don't use winamp, then suggest, preferably with a good reason attached, another prefereably similar in look (skinning) media player (just for audio), which is compatable with audioscrobbler, and has cddb. thankyou. |

I'm probably goning to get shouted at but isn't Windows Media Player any good? |
||||||||

ps - anyone who mentions windows media player has rich parents that can afford a computer equivelant of approximately 3 krays running in parallel |

you could try , it has an audioscrobbler plugin and cddb, but interface wise is nothing like winamp. i don't have any of those problems with my installation of winamp/audioscrobbler by the way - maybe try uninstalling and starting from scratch. |

I've never used Winamp. I got Sonique when I first got into MP3's and stuck with that ever since. Sonique.com I think, I'd check but.. well.. can of beer. |

windows media player 10 is great, actually |

windows media player is the devil. not because it's microsoft, but because it's just an incredibly shit media player. it's only worthwhile for watching movies.. and naturally videolan kicks its ass at that. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use Media player to listen to music.. I think it has something to do with it being the first thing they see when they double-click their first mp3 :/ bill gates taking a page out of the jesuits' book.. |

I have no problems with Winamp and Audioscrobbler. Are you running Winamp 5 and the "Media Library" version of the Audioscrobbler plugin? I tried Foobar2000 when, for some reason, I couldn't get track tags to work correctly on Winamp with flac files, but I switched back when it suddenly started working right. Foobar2000 is good player, I'd probably be using it now but it loads huge amounts of files a lot slower than Winamp. Loading my entire music folder might take 5 seconds with Winamp, but maybe 5 minutes with Foobar. |

what makes it a bad player for music? it has the best library organization IMO, it's great. I used winamp before, when WMP was at version 5, and yes it was very shit back then windows media player versions 5, 6, 7 and 8 were incredibly shit like you say.. but they made a lot of improvements with versions 9 and 10. It made me stop using winamp. |

i agree, windows media player 10 is actually a great player, especially when used with XP Media Center Edition. I personally dont use it but im not gona hate on it simply because its made by windows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are a lot of software, real one player ... etc... anyway i use windows media player 10 for normal MP3 and winamp for my Flacs. |
||||||||

wmp10 does not run AT ALL on win98se. apart from that it's a total resource hog |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it's an absolute resource hog. it doesn't look nice. it's not as flexible as winamp (plugins) If i didn't have an iPod i'd still be using winamp 2 for sure. And yes i know there's an ipod support plugin for winamp, but i've spent too much time on tagging mp3s for itunes.. |

my winamp audioscrobbler plugin has also screwed up lately |
||||||||
|
|

quintessential player is awesome, I actually think that it's equalizer is far superior to winamps when it comes to sound, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know i should be shot for it, but i still have a lot of wma's on my computer from when i DID use wmp. too lazy to update. but the new winamp 5 won't play any of those files. it's very irritating. cuts my library very nearly in half. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean to say it won't play them because it crashes. i'd still be using winamp 2, but i got tired of dealing with that fucking alert pop-up asking me to update every time i loaded it up. shoulda stuck t'ma guns. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
download the latest drivers for it from the main windows site and it should port over just fine, |

iTunes > Wimamp > All other shitty players > WMP |

i used winamp for 5 years but now i've been using foobar2000 for 5 months and i think it's great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Foobar is the man.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded Foobar. Read a FAQ about it. Uninstalled it. Too much fucking hassle. I want it to work and be customisable easily. Fuck pissing around with config and shit. I'm having a few winamps problems of late too as well. I'm keeping an eye out for a new one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what problems ? there's a new version there btw, i forgot to install it.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are you talking about ? it's easy to use AND to configure |
||||||||
|
|

|
winamp 5.03 with the green MMD3 skin, looks nice, plays nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and poses lots of security risks. you have been warned. update now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Random crashing. The volume control deciding to take over the whole of windows so I'd mute Winamp for some reason and it'd mute the whole computer. Never used to do that. The Media Library won't update automatically even though I've told it to. I've done a full reinstall etc. |
