I don't know how iTunes fans can bash Windows Media Player... iTunes is bloated piece of garbage. foobar2000 for music Media Player Class/VLC for video
"Anyone saying VLC is the best media player is a huge anti-microsoft person. VLC honestly sucks. The layout is terrible, and the options/features are s**tty. Not saying WMP is the best, but it looks way better. I like VLC on linux mainly because its the only decent media player on linux, but at the end of the day, it just plain sucks."Um, you really use linux? Or do you just pretend to? Have you ever heard of a little open source project called Amarok?
WMP is fine for me. I have used winamp and like it also, but i find that I am able to browse through my music library easier with WMP because that is what I have used the most. It all comes down to "What Do You Like To Use". So quit bashing others simply because they prefer something you don't. To each his own....... If you like WMP, Great. If you don't, be happy with what you have.
I don't know why everyone says WMP is so bad. I used to use iTunes but then I switched because of various reasons and i'm liking WMP 10 much better. It just runs a lot faster on my computer. Don't get me wrong iTunes is a good program but WMP seems to have more functionality.
For music, WMP 9 has worked for me for a while, and I have no reason to change. And I must say, ColorCubes is the best visualization out there for a 700 MHz man like me.Oh, and to anybody who thinks we're being forced to use ANY Windows Product, you can always dual boot Linux, as I do.

iTunes isn't horrible, better than WMP in my opinion, but I use Winamp for all.
