Amarok is definitely the player of choice

As far as I am concerned there is only two decent options, aTunes on windows and amarok on linux, both are FOSS and both are brilliance, take my word for it and give them a go, you will not regret it!

Well, pretty much using KMPlayer, because of its great reproduction capabilities, has almost all video and audio codecs, supports all kinds of internet streaming protocols, also supports serbian subtitles which is very important to me.
Has smaller memory fingerprint than WMP, and hasn’t crashed, not even once! It just doesn’t show the Now listening on MSN, but i can live without it :P Strongly recommend!

Aimp2 for music (Quintessential Player previously, and CoolPlayer before that)

GomPlayer for video (previously CrystalPlayer..and something else I forgot)

foobar, because of a plugin “quicksearch toolbar” that can even search in the folder name and filename (I can’t tag automatically since it’s mostly jpop, so I won’t bother to tag).

In windows, up until recently winamp was the golden standard.
however, as of late, the player is buggy as hell.

My default audio player is AIMP2. Light, simple, and beautiful; I love it cuz can hide it in the system tray, and still skip tracks and control volume. Testing Songbird and Floola, cuz iTunes ate a lot of space, just to transfer files to my iPod.

My video player is the simple, very light and versatil GOM Player. It’s just perfect.

Regards.

xmplay for just pure audio, no frills.

Winamp, but definitely an older version. I’m not on the laptop at the moment, but it’s definitely beyond 2.x and below 5.x so maybe around 3? It’s before they added all the bells and whistles to make it a ‘media’ manager. Am going to read your review of Amarok later though because I do wonder about alternatives ^^

Hey man, too late, but my choice is XMPlay: ultralight, standalone, very simple use, fast open, modular plugins, extra audio HQ. Yeah, i love it! ;)

My choice is MediaMonkey and my reasons are:

1. Low system resources
2. User friendly
3. Good interface
4. Great library options
5. Impressive tagging and audio files management options.

at home: mediamonkey. so good I even paid for it. – Lighter than most (especially iTunes)
- un-bloated
- excellent library management even for very large sizes
- neat interface
- flexible ripping solution
- works just well with my zen stone plus

at work: amarok (on Kubuntu)
- does most of what I need there correctly.
- I’ve met some really strange bugs though, but they happen very rarely.

But polls have very few options, this is most interesting and then please make an article analyzing all.

Foobar2000. Small, clean and fast – but can play almost any format.
