MemberI now have Winamp 2.91. It loads faster than real one player and i can use Audio-tracker to display my current song playing on the forums.

MemberI personnaly prefer winamp 2.71 its the fastest ver of winamp (although prev ver were pretty fast, but they didnt have ID2 v2 tag)!!! 2.71 supports the feature and is really rocking…. I also prefer MMJB for playing b’cos of its some cool features like rename and tag editing easily… recording from CD, and CD look up from internet (valid only with ver below 7.5 as ver 8 checks ur regn info from net…)

MemberFor MP3 files WinAMP2 is a great piece of software. I haven’t tried WinAMP3 recently, but when I did I found that WinAMP3 was using up way too much resources – almost three times as much as WinAMP2. So it was back to WinAMP2 for me, never found a need for a change afterwards.
For video files I use Microsoft’s MediaPlayer 9 and the DivX player from http://www.divx.com, never really looked into anything else for videos.
Last but not least, for converting audio files I use dBpowerAMP audio converter. Great software for converting Wave to MP3 and vice versa, produces a good sound quality.

MemberI have several computers with various players tho for MP3’s etc I recommend MusicMatch jukebox. For video I would recommend DivX or MS MediaPlayer.

MemberWell, I prefer Windows Media Player over any other media players.
I learned about DivX some months ago. I have played with it a bit. It’s really neat.

MemberPersonally, I like WinAmp 2.xx for audio. I like the way it handles mp3/wav and I like what it does for CD audio as well. I have tried WinAmp 3.x and even though I love it’s ability to play video, it just doesn’t do things fast enough and takes way too many resources.
For video, I have found several players which I like. The one I use most is called BSPlayer look it up on Google or try http://www.bsplayer.org. I’m not sure if this link will work or not. It’s the only one I have for them. I also like GlobalDivX, which was renamed to DivXity some time ago. Now that I think about it, both players can be found on DivX-Digest look here http://www.divx-digest.com and find the players section of the software area of the page.

MemberI use Sonique for listening to mp3 files. Don’t ask me why, cause I really don’t know. All I can say is that I am used to it and I use it :p
I use Windows media player to see movie files like .mpeg, .asf etc.
Have to say that I have also seen the latest version of winamp and the waveforms are HAPPENING, sad part is that I can’t see the waveforms at work :p
