This is my favorite Media Player on Windows. I like it because of the way it catalogs the music files. And the album art is really good. I also love the WMP toolbar function.
Anyone tried it on Windows 7? It's cool thing you know. Can't ever imagined WMP could be that quick to be opened. Even iTunes isn't that fast.
Try KMPlayer
One of the good apls! it works very well and I prefer it to jetAudio!
Mostly used for watching clips, it's great on 7.
Usually only use this to open up something real quick. :P
Con buenos codecs, lo lee todo
Only because in 7 you guys need to fix your areo thumbnail for wmp, it needs more options, but I still love it.
On Windows 7, when this does work with the source file, the image AND sound quality is better than with the VLC! Loving it, purely. I hope they would make BETTER MediaLibrary, since it is hard to navigate and go trough if you have lot of things in there. Mostly I use this for videos / movies. If doesnt work, then VLC. And for music, I go with Winamp & Spotify.
The default player for most of the file associations.
It's ok, but I just like Zoom player, or Media player classic so much better.
The fact that sound and executable stay in background on closing made me not want to use it at all... But it starts default a lot! :D
I don't really use it, but I don't dislike it. That said, I do find that WMP improves a little with every release.
WMP12 is just great compare to horrible WMP9.
Normal player but I like VLC
Fast and responsive. Use WMP 12 in Win 7. When combined with Windows 7 Codec Pack works ok. But sometimes when I have problems with picking right audio channel i use VLC.
I use WMP as my primary video player and only use VLC for .MKV files.
