Best Video/Music Player Software?

[Eastside]

My old pc took a crap and I bought a new used pc.....I wiped the HD clean and reinstalled XP....now I am looking for a good video/music player that is not a huge bloated piece of software?

for what it's worth, I've used media player classic for years.
I haven't seen anything that it won't play.
get it with the k lite codec pack.

VLC; 'nuff said . . .

VLC Media Player. Swiss army knife of players lol. And the newest one I understand is the best yet although I hadn't tried it, the older one serves its purpose with me.

If you are gonna try to use your PC as a DVR you might want to add the K-Lite codec pack. No media player has mpeg4-ts playback natively.

Should I ditch my Window's Media player for VLC? If so should I reformat my XP machine? I don't care for the WMP. I does not play a lot of my. mp3's anymore. Also preferred web brouser ? FireFox or Chrome ? Thanks for any in put. 73's

That is why I installed VLC...WMP was not doing the job.

yeah windows media player is a joke even if you add codecs.
I knew when I replied that a lot of people would suggest VLC, granted VLC is good but I have ran across things that it wouldn't play while media player classic would.
I got rid of VLC in 2008 and haven't looked back
