Journal Mantorp's Journal: So my PC crashed 6

Journal by Mantorp on Tuesday October 31, 2006 @05:27PM

and I had to rebuild from the factory restore, I'm now caught up again with XP home sp2, but I'm trying to decide which mediaplayer to stick with.
Instead of having real, yahoo, musicmatch, winamp, ms mediaplayer, itunes, etc ad nauseum I want one lightweight, small footprint mediaplayer. One that doesn't hog all my cpu cycles and RAM. Most of the time it'll just play mp3 files and if it could easily burn the current playlist that would be a bonus.

Any ideas?

And get the FFDshow codecs.

You'll play it all. Sound and Vision.

  I second this...
  
  Look for the "K-Lite Code Pack" (includes media player classic). Take the "Full" one. Enjoy all multimedia goodness.
  
  I only use VLC for DVD playback, but Media Player Classic can do it too, I think.

    Thanks, I already have vlc, but never thought of using it for only music. I'll work with that for a while and see how it goes.

        I used it all day and it worked a heck of a lot better than MS mediaplayer 11, I grabbed a few different skind that made it look a lot better too.

For super-lightweight audio-only, it's hard to beat foobar2000 [foobar2000.org].
