what is the best Mp3 player
- Thread starter thebabe
- Start date
I tried them all, and i always get back to Winamp. Winamp 2.81 is what i'm using as we speak, since that 3.0 is a piece of crap. Windows Media Player isn't half bad either, i'm using the 9 series beta, and it works pretty well, Realplayer or Realone as it's called these days is not very good for mp3's, however i do use it for realaudio/video files, not the Gold version though but RealOne Corporate Desktop which is the version without all the crap.

I concur...Winamp is one of the best (if not the best 
) mp3/media player's out there...and it's freeware. Lots of usefull plugins, very cool skins, and 3D visualizarions.
But as Brand-X suggested...Winamp3 is a bid piece o'crap. Use Winamp 2.81 (latest version) instead.

Winamp 2.81 without doubt...
I hear the Winamp crew are going to carry on with the 2.x series as a different thing all together from the 3.x series.
Winamp.com say theirselves... "If all your wanting is a player for MP3's, download Winamp 2.81"
Winamp 3.0 just sucks full stop, slow vizulizations, freezes, very buggy.

FreeAMP - lost it's name because...
Zinf is based on the FreeAmp source code. However, AMP® is a trademark of PlayMedia Systems, Inc., and therefore the original name of the project cannot be used any longer. On this website the old project will be referred to as FreeA*p
How RIDICULOUS - AMP is a generic abbreviation for AMPlifier, and several other things - just like people trying tp claim ownership of the word EASY - particularly if followed by CD!
...rant over

I will NOT have WinAMP on my system, not since they hooked up with AOL.

Ther evil barons in charge of MP3 now want fees for DECODERS - even if not their own - so grab your players before it takes effect!

I use the much bloated Music Match Pro 7.2 with the DFX sound plugin (which is able to turn shit into solid gold).

QCD has developed into a stable and mature player. What I really like about it is the superb skin support and user friendly features.
Until a few months ago I took the view that Winamp2 was the only really good player. I still use Winamp2 sometimes and find it lacking features and overall very raw, since using QCD.
QCD has excellent Tag editing features such as autotag, file renaming from Tags, multi file tagging, etc.
QCD's playlist support is much better than Winamp2. It will save updates to a playlist, add muyltiple playlists, right clicking gives a Quick Track selection which is neat. It has a lightening fast search where you can search for something and then play the resulting found tracks. It will also an auto load feature that will watch "a download directory" and load any new tracks into the playlist.
Using the QCD plug-in Elephant you can also call external programs. I use this plug-in to call EAC, ReplayGain, Nero, Tag&Rename all from within QCD. This turns it into a very powerful total media application without all the bloat.

I like Bang & Olufsens BeoPlayer, it has a 'different' interface which is slightly confusing at first but great once you are used to it.
Sounds great (to me), just needs vorbis support to be complete.

WinAmp 2.81 is my favorite MP3 Player.
I use it in combination with DFX and Dapex MP3 Explorer, a MP3 database. It works great!
I prefer WinAmp 2.81 because WinAmp 3 is taking to much of my pc resources. Furthermore I use DFX to convert mp3 to wav and
DFX gives that extra touch to the sound.
I convert to wav and then burn an audio cd with Nero.
Of course Nero has it's own converter but like I said the sound get "warmer"with DFX.
I tried Sonique and other MP3 players but WinAmp sticks above them. I probably will still be using it...
