Inspiron 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Hey guys..Here something I wanna find out...I know alot of peopl out there are using WinAMP..For me, I'm using Windows Media Player, since it's already included with Windows, why bother to download another player which does the same thing...So I wanna ask people out there which player you are using, and why...I wanna know what's so good about WinAMP over Windows Media Player...

PLAYWITHGUNS 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 I'm using WinAmp version 2.80, because this version is small, and has everything I need right at my fingertips. Shortcuts, Playlist editor, and sound Equilizer. You'd have to click a dozen (or more) times to get some of the features on WinAmp up on your Windows Media Player.

Inspiron 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 But Windows Media Player can just do all that as well...A few more clicks doesn't really matter as long as it still works and the user still gets the same effects.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fffanatics 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 I use winamp 5 for numerous reasons. For one, it takes less cpu than windows media player which is nice when using it while playing a high quality and system intense game. Another reason is the visualizations are soooo much better. Plus, you can make the visualizations your background. Finally, the last real reason is use it is because of the number of plugin and addins that are available and useful for it like a volume leveler or dee 2 (used to increase quality of music similar to dfx but better) and such. Also, editing and searching media files is much quicker than windows media player. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never really looked into WMP before but it does seem to have much the same functionality as iTunes (with the added ability to play video). But I've got used to iTunes now so I'll be sticking with it. Also, one feature WMP doesn't appear to have is the ability to export your playlists to a .txt or xml file.

Tyssen 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Windows Media Player is also able to save Playlist in several formats...Simply by clicking File and point to "Save Now Playing List As..."You quoted the wrong person. And WMP only exports as playlist files (.wpl, .m3u). Sometimes it's handy to have that info in a text-based format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inspiron 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Oh I didnt reliased I quoted the wrong person... Apologies...As for the playlist, all are texted-based, just open then in a Text Editor and you can see all the codes...I agree Windows Media Player cannot export as XML, but what's so special in XML since WinAmp is also able to save playlist as m3u likewise Windows Media Player...

greendilim 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Im using WMP 10, its got a great theme and easy to the eye. Very easy to handle music in a library and create playlists. WMP has got good features as well, and many plugins that can be downloaded, such as quick nero plugin that burns the music in a playlist in a click of a button. And an MSN messenger 7 plugin that shows what song is being played on ur msn name. very nice... much better than Nero i think. If used Nero once and never used it again. but thats just me..

electriic ink 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 I downloaded WinAmp because it can play more file extensions. There's an ogg extension which can be played in WinAmp but not WMP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
