9/17/04 Which music-player software do you use?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 9/16/04 10:33 AM
Which music-player software do you use?
iTunes
Windows Media Player
Musicmatch
RealPlayer
Winamp
QuickTime
Other
Place your votes and discuss this topic.
Some questions to get the conversation rolling are:
Why do you use the music-player you voted on? What makes it so special?
Do you use more than one of these players, if so why, shouldn't one player cover all the different formats?
If you had to convince another person to go with the player you use, how would sell them on it?
If you didn't vote for any of the above player, what music-player do you use?
I'm hoping that these poll discussion will be fun for all of to participate in and hopefully we'd also gain more knowledge out of it.
Enjoy!

#1 - Jet-Audio by Cowon, and
#2 - Zoom Player
Jet-Audio has a welth of adjustments that make the listening a real pleasure;
Zoom Player is simple to use, good for having ambient music, and it's FREE.
If you are in the mood of closing your eyes and listening to a classic concert on stage, a rock band playing in a stadium, or you just want feel the musicians in your room, Jet-Audio is for you.

I use 3 different types. At work I use Media player. Why, simple I workoff a laptop and do not have any great sound cards. On my other computer at I use Musicmatch. On this computer I work with specific videos that have a distinctive sound. This sound has to be perfect to what I video taped. At home I use an other type program from Creative labs. I use this on because I have the Audigy 2 Sound card, and have the speaker system setup for 7.1 surround sound.

Windows Media Player
I have good luck with Media Player. I'm not a big music fan, so Media player works for me. Plus it's free.

I prefer windows media player 9 series.IT's fast to turn on,has great aural and video enhancemants.When watching vodeos or movies,color reproduction is accurate,as opposed to winamp.I use real player also,but don't like the way it tries to take over your comp.RP also gets my favorite radio station in the world,(WRTI)which is why I keep it.As far as all the others go,they're all the same to me,haven't tried them all.

I use both iTunes and Windows Media Player. I work on both platforms and I find the ability to download from both iTunes and the new MSN convenient and it gives me a large selection of music to choose from.

Windows Media Player - it has taken over my laptop. Every time I open my laptop it opens and I can't figure out how to make it stop doing this. Any suggestions appreciated.

Which music-player software do you use?
1)iTunes
2)Winamp
3)Windows Media Player
4)RealPlayer
5)QuickTime
Why do you use the music-player you voted on? What makes it so special?
I can use I tunes on a cross platform basis and it works very well.
I love winamp due to the skins and it to works well but some data loss in the translation, doesn't handle my older cd's as well as I thought it would.
WMP is ok for the older systems that we have out in the marketplace(severs in place for dhcp
Real Player is ok too, systems integrator at palo alto has this in place and will not use any other playre, works well with his 8 track player too.
I use some quick time too for the apple stuff that I get from a family member.
shouldn't one player cover all the different formats?
Coutl onr do all of that??
If you had to convince another person to go with the player you use, how would sell them on it?
One time thats all....

For simply playing music, I use WMP10. I have others installed, but why bother learning them? The windows player works fine.
Device specific hardware is another issue. I have a Creative Jukebox 3 and Muvo NX, both of which I enjoy thouroughly. Creative's software leaves much to be desired however, so I've purchased Red Chair's Notmad explorer which I like. After having sampled MusicMatch, Real Player, WinAmp and others, it's frustrating that they all have their rules and restrictions. There should absolutly be one app that "does it all".
MusicMatch is the Ginchiest

MusicMatch is a Great Product, but I fear for its life now that Yahoo has anounced plans to aquire it.
Like so many great products produced by small companys, it will soon be reduce to unusability.
Just look at what happpened to Netscape when aquired by AOL; It took what 6 years to re-create a usable product.
