| 785316 | 2009-06-26 05:33:00 | Why use a Windows Bloatware program to do something when a 3rd party program can do it better/faster, have no issues with codecs , use less resourses & doesnt 'phone home'. VLC MPC Classic :2cents::2cents: |

| 785317 | 2009-06-26 06:14:00 | Why use a third party program to do something windows does just fine? It is bloatware if windows can do it ok Because mostly Windows bundled stuff IS bloatware and doesn't do it just fine. MS can't bear to see anyone else have a decent program and either buy them and ruin it or copy badly. (IE, WMP especially as optical writing SW, antimalware - the list goes on......) |

| 785319 | 2009-06-26 06:50:00 | What's wrong with WMP? It plays my music. It even minimises to the taskbar and shows controls. I haven't seen any other player that does that. iTunes since you asked |

| 785321 | 2009-06-27 03:17:00 | I think media players (11? - the latest) is good. What do you use for your music library? I use foobar2000 |

| 785324 | 2009-06-28 01:44:00 | Nothing wrong with media player, i use it all the time. Winamp sucks Nothing wrong as long as you don't mind all the DRM crap. Amarok rocks. |

| 785325 | 2009-06-28 01:59:00 | There's nothing really wrong with Windows media player except there's not much right with it either. I have noticed that with each new version of WMP they kill off more and more visualizations. Winamp has many more visualizations and is much more plugin friendly. It also really whips the llama's ass. |
