So I was curious what everyone uses on their computer to play their music.
I prefer iTunes myself, even before I started using a Mac.
Winamp all the way, though I do use iTunes to tag files and put music on my iPod.
iTunes... technically. I was just talking to Omni about this because occasionally songs will decide to cut out at a certain time and skip to the next song. It's fairly rare, but it happens and I'm then forced to use her as a way to get a fixed copy.
This problem only happens with iTunes, and the song otherwise works fine in any other program, hence "technically." I'd use Winamp, but I have over 20,000 songs and that's a lot to add into Winamp and then re-tag and whatnot. Plus, though songs do tend to mess up on the rare occasion in iTunes, I really do like the way it's set up a lot better.
Ever since I bought my laptop, I've been using ITunes.
I use WMP. It's good enough.
W-w-w-w-w-w-winamp.
...Windows Explorer. :X
To browse, at least. Plays with Winamp.
iTunes, although I really don't use my computer for music that much. I have a great stereo system, so I have stacks of mp3 CDs for use in that.
You guys use iTunes to tag your music? Wow.
I use iTunes.
i use vlc to play anything
iTunes for me...if i didnt have an iPod it would likely be WMP
Used to use winamp, started using itunes when I hooked myself up with an iPod. Now I switch between iTunes and Winamp. Winamp is for music during games or photoshop (low memory usage), iTunes is for whenever else.
I have Foobar on here too, but it's a pain.
winamp. itunes and wmp eat my resources to the bone.
Windows Media Player, since it's the default for my computer. D:
iTunes. Would use Winamp, but it can't play songs bought off the iTunes store. =/
I'm actually surprised so many people use iTunes here...
I like the way Winamp let's me rip CDs into whatever format and whatever bitrate I want. :)
I use Windows Media Player. I'm to lazy to download anything like winamp. Plus I deleted iTunes from my computer. Once I get a new computer I'll most likely get winamp or maybe iTunes.
foobar2000 because it wins.
RealPlayer
WINamp
Although if you have a playlist going and it jumps from mp3 to a wav file, it'll struggle for a few seconds. But that's only really a problem if you're playing a game.
Winamp for playback, WMP for ripping and occasionally burning.
iTunes is what I use (mac), but I prefer WMP over it greatly. I like the way it updates the library properly and automatically deletes duplicate files created from dead links (moving music folders). It also makes editing tag information for large amounts of grouped files easier than iTunes.
Now I use Foobar because my iTunes had a fit.
Itunes because i own an Ipod.
Itunes is not the greatest thing ever but its easy and straight forward. (for me at least, a lot of people just don't get anything thats computer related, but still want ipods) so its fine.
iTunes.
Extremely convenient. :D
iTunes for now.
When I get my new comp I plan on going winamp though.
What exactly is Winamp?
Another player is all.
Ah, so everything else is the same?
Why do some people prefer it then?
That's what I was asking Queen on MSN.
Dunno but I'll try it.
also post 6666.
Oh okay.
Maybe I'll ask her sometime then.
Double ninja'd!
No need to ask, because I'm telling you right now.
Winamp is easier to use, takes up less resources, can rip CDs into any media format, and just all around seems cooler to me than iTunes. iTunes takes forever to load sometimes, too.
Oh I see.
So Winamp > iTunes?
Yeah, pretty much. The only thing iTunes can do that Winamp can't is put in the album art, and I guess iTunes works better with iPods since that's why it even exists.
I guess.
I'LL SEE IN A MONTH.
ninga'd
I used to have Winamp, but I didn't think it was much different than Itunes. Pretty much the same to me....
I would die without my ipod, so obviously itunes
Same. Plus, I'm on a mac.
I experimented with REAL once. I regretted it. iTunes is the way to go.
You really can't say one is better than the other. I actually much prefer iTunes because, though it has messed up in the past, it does certain things better and faster than Winamp. For example, going from playlist to playlist is instantaneous on iTunes but Winamp it needs to load. It's really just down to preference.
I use Windows Media Player. media player is best.
Windows Media Player.
Rarely, I listen to music in the Last.fm software. Rarely.
iTunes! It is teh best.
I usually just use Windows Media Player, it does me just fine for my needs.
Winamp: because i'm lazy, and it suits my needs.
Foobar fuhtuhwuh
