What are you looking for in a media player? I like Winamp because I can manage my local libraries, my portable media players and my podcasts. I also like the bookmarks feature and the ability to skip around in a file. Handling content over the internet isv't very accessible though.
I like FooBar 2000 because it's interface is so simple. You can also manage local libraries with it. Setting it up is kind of tedious though, since you need to set up all of your own hot keys. I don't think it manages podcasts for you. It does come in a portable flavor though, which is nice if you want to run it off of a USB drive or SD card. I still pull up WMP occasionally, but that's mostly just to rip CD's. On 02/12/11 17:22, Dave Scrimenti wrote: > You're not going to hear any difference in sound quality from player to > player.
