In Windows, Winamp.

In Linux, Muine (Gnome) or AmaroK (KDE). And then there's always the CLI mpg123.

In OS X, iTunes.

iTunes is an abortion.

If I had my choice, I'd go back in time, and abort anyone who has ANYTHING to do with AOL!

Usually nothing, I have a stereo right next to my head.

Otherwise, WMP does for MP3's and such.

I use several. Winamp, Windows Media Player, Quick Time Alternative, Creative MediaSource, Musicmatch Jukebox, AudibleManager, Napster, and Audacity, just to name a few. Depends on the file I'd like to listen to/rip/ or convert.

WINAMP, with the uber neat skin I made for it... sometimes RealPlayer for or WMP for random other things.

Winamp, VLC player, DivX, iTunes, Quicktime. Even WMP sometimes.

WMP does everything i need it to and i'm more than happy with it.
and divx player occasionally when i need to (its happier with corrupted downloads than wmp ever is)

used to use winamp but couldn't be bothered with the clumpy interface anymore (dispite skinning), but i did enjoy messing about with the AVS.

itunes has some nice visualisations but its way too lacking in features for me, plus its mac-related *spits*

RealPlayer, but WinAmp with Shoutcast for DJing.

iTunes for me. I've tried every other media player I can find and not one of them can touch it.

Media Player Classic! Plays everything you can name (Quicktime, real, all mpeg, wm, mp3, ogg, etc.), and is barely over a megabyte.

How anybody can use these players that have so much overhead is beyond me.

Winamp, RealAlternative, BSPlayer and for those toughies that don't want to play on anything else: VideoLan. Along with some useable but pretty mundane DVD player that came bundled with the drive. Still no sign of a DIVX 6 player for Win98?

WMP - too lazy for have separate players for audio and DVDs. I do use RealPlayer for the realplayer media (like you have any choice), but Intervideo WinDVD is the best DVD software player - the others have sound issues with some DVDs.

You struck me down, but now I am more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

MUAHAHA!! I will destroy AOL and Microsoft in one sweep of my mighty... oh hi Obi-Wan. Sup? You found a female Jedi in the netherworld? Huh? Four of them? Ok AOL and Microsoft will die, just... not at the moment.

But I actually use WMP for movies, or DivX player, or WMP Classic + Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative for their respective formats.

Realplayer to actually play my songs, and WinAmp when I'm DJing.

Winamp to play, Realplayer to burn, and Windows Media Player to just sit and take up space.

Media Player Classic for video media.

Winamp for music because Music Match Jukebox people are stupid assholes and updated their product so it can only look like crap instead of being able to use the good looknig skins.

WinDVD for movies and iTunes for audio.
