I was just wondering which of the two major music players do you prefer/use??
iTunes
iTunes is a digital media player application, introduced by Apple on January 8, 2001 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco,[2] for playing and organizing digital music and video files. The program is also an interface to manage the contents on Apple's popular iPod digital media players as well as the iPhone. Additionally, iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store via the internet to purchase and download digital music, music videos, television shows, iPod games, audiobooks, various podcasts, feature length films (available only in the USA), Movie Rentals and Ringtones.
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player (WMP) is a digital media player and media library application developed by Microsoft that is used for playing audio, video and viewing images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system, as well as on Pocket PC and Windows Mobile-based devices. Editions of Windows Media Player were also released for Mac OS, Mac OS X and Solaris but development of these has since been discontinued.
In addition to being a media player, Windows Media Player includes the ability to rip music from and copy music to compact discs, build Audio CDs in recordable discs and synchronize content with a digital audio player (MP3 player) or other mobile devices, and enables users to purchase or rent music from a number of online music stores.
I prefer iTunes because it organizes everything for me

Winamp all the way for general media player!
MPC with Storm Codec or K-Lite is also a good choice for playing files (not a spiffy interface though, but it's nice and simple.
VLC is also a great choice if you have trouble getting certain files like flash video to work.
WMP is just bland and doesn't have near enough file support and Itunes is just bleh.

you gave Nice insight.
But I have trouble playing MP4 files with MPC , its not an issue although as most of us dont come across many of them.
But when it comes to playing movies with subtitles VLC fares better as you can even change the speed of subtitles if there is any synchronization problem VLC can handle it.

No need to say. None of my friends use WMP these days. It is just in the old ages.

I have always used Windows media player and it looks good and easy to use. Also, it has good features, too.
There are 100s of other media players available free to download but most of them dont compete with WMP. They either have some running problem occasionaly or maybe they canr run a particular media file. Thats the reason WMP appears to be one of the best media players
