what player do you guys use on your PC?

[Leb_CRX]

I've tried itunes, winamp, and lately I am totally hooked on media monkey

I love it and find it gets the job done, and it even syncs my ipod touch, automatically converting the flac's to 320 mp3's

anything better out there?

iTunes

I have been pretty happy with Jriver Media Center over the last years. A few things I like.

1. It supports native ASIO and now WASPI playback.
2. Very fast configurable UI for larger collections. Great for classical music
3. It acts as a streaming server for any other instances of JRiver in the house.
4. It syncs to most handhelds inclusing but not limited to Ipods
5. Acts as a uPnP server
6. DirectX host for room correction plugins etc
7. Broad codec support (FLAC, APE, WMA including lossless, AAC, etc..)
8. Format conversion with tag and album art support
9. Very low CPU usage during ASIO playback <1% from CD or APE files.
10. Works great with network shares
11. Great podcasting support
12. Very easy to import and export tracks from the library!

Cheers

Thomas

J Media Jukebox for me. Its free, has a nice interface and supports ASIO. All i want really

im using WINAMP just now. i was using itunes and really liked it, but im currently getting prepared for my e-mu and its ASIO support. didnt like foobar. lightweight, but ugly. even when i skinned it, still didnt suit my tastes.
forgot about media monnkey. that was the other one i wanted to try out.

this jriver thing sounds interesting. i like the sound of "It acts as a streaming server for any other instances of JRiver in the house."
does that mean i can play the same track through 4 different laptops with it installed? very useful for uni house parties. 4 laptops, 4 stereos, 4 rooms all playing the same thing. no more head ache inducing mashups when moving between rooms.
