Which is the best audio and video player?

Question

I am using Winamp. I want to substitute it with some other good audio and video player. Please recommend me which one is good. For video player i use Vlc. Is there anything better than that..?

Answer 1

To all those who repeat vlc like parrots please try this test:



play ANY video file in vlc, and simultaneously play it in windows media player/winamp/powerdvd/jet audio. Compare the same video on the screen (pause it for easy comparison). VLC quality is one of the worst when compared to others (why not try it out just once if you dont believe me.)



Here are the good players for video: Powerdvd - this enhances all video on the screen giving it a luminescent shine. The only drawback are its controls.

JetAudio - very good controls and good clarity in video

Windows media player- this one is ok ok. No speciall controls but if your cd/dvd has any scratches this will get stuck pretty often. Also it eats more memory.



One more very good thing you can do is download K-lite audio codecs, real alternative and quicktime alternative. They will all install on "media player classic" and it is similar to vlc then - it can play many formats and it has a great quality and uses minimum rescources.



Audio- JetAudio is the best. Winamp is close to Jetaudio I would say.

Answer 3

VLC is the best video player for several reasons:



1. It's simple and easy to use

2. It plays just about everything

3. It's free



Do you really need anything else?



It works well with music files too, though I much prefer iTunes



So, you've pretty much got the best thing already

Answer 4

VLC media player is a good choice.



But I would suggest you to try Windows Essential Media Codec Pack 2.2
