VLC or mplayer. For the love of god, VLC or mplayer. The first is much easier to set up, however.

You might want to look into VLC or Media Player Classic.

:/ I don't see what's wrong with it. You can select to organize by artist instead, and your playlists stay the same. Actually, I PREFER it for the number of videos I watch anyway. I've been using it since October and I actually like it.

Specifically, I like the way it all blends and just generally looks nicer. the Black Aero look makes it look sleek and shiny. I have my MSN live matching it, and I'm purchasing Vista Ultimate to complete the set Next Month, since the Beta doesn't like me. ^.^

Really, all the programs blend well.

I use RealPlayer. It's always been good to me, so I haven't updated WMP since... *checks* v7.

Plus, I run an old old Windows, so yeah.

Winamp and iTunes are crucial to Windows.

iTunes crucial to Windows. I can't believe I just typed that.

iTunes? Isn't that the thing for playing music and buying it online?

Heh. Suckers.

iTunes supports piracy more than you believe.

For example, it rips to MP3.

Talk about bonus points.

The new version is shit for one simple reason, they don't let you deselect the "album" column. It makes no sense. Why make that mandatory? Why should I HAVE to see what album the song is on? Why are you FORCING ME?! :stressed:

I have a lot of assorted artists, so now, instead of being able to see 50 song titles neatly stacked on top of each other like in the previous version, the new format only shows like 20. My library is now 3 times longer to scroll. It just ticks me off.

If you have version 10, keep it.

Just like with Adobe Photoshop CS (Where Adobe took out some neat features from PS7.) Microsoft took out some neat features from WMP v10 in WMP v11. For example, Disabling of individual tracks has now been lost! (You can bypass this by using cdplayer.exe and deleting certain tracks and re-adding them from the CD List.)

You know and I know... MORE SPACE REQUIRED = YOU SUCK in terms of media players. Although people don't understand that all the time. Why not get Winamp I ask. They say "Oh, what's winamp?" Seriously, anyone who says that should be slapped.

RealPlayer? What the hell is that? No really, RealPlayer sucks IMO, it takes alot of resources it doesn't need to take.
