alternative player to windows media player

[azntiger1000]

Hey everyone. Does anyone know an alternative player than Media Player Classic? WPC is nice and all but it is a little ugly, so is there something else out there that you guys are using?

(other than vlc)

You could try Realplayer IMO just as good as media player classic

Or you could try the divx player however this is only for movies and will not play audio files of any kind...

the urge, mediaplayer 11? itunes?

[Padmé]

Gom player. Plays just about anything.

Nero ShowTime

zoomplayer is almost as flexible as mpc (doesn't let you watch DVDs unless you pay though) and can look a lot better (you can choose different skins)

mplayer is good too if you're willing to play around with it

there's always itunes for music and even winamp..

Wow nice list. Thanks a lot people. Yea I should have made it more specific as in for video files.

VLC.
http://www.videolan.org/
Open source. Cross platform. Supports pretty much every video, audio and codec type you can think of.

itunes is quite nice too
theres also Winamp which i feel has a clean interface and ipod support too
