Media Players

Mornin.

Been using Media Jukebox for a while. It does masses of stuff but I've just never really gelled with it. Can't stick iTunes .

Anyone got any particular faves? I have tried sawdust player.

I use VLC for single file play, what does K-lite do?

it's a free opensource codec pack for the operating system which allows its media players to play all manner of exotic files, handy for those working with video camera files.

only hardware discs like blurays won't play due to licence issues, also the now-defunct HD DVD's will only play with the proper hardware & software combination. 3D stereoscopic files are also licence-limited, there be workarounds but it's a faff and a half.

otherwise with the VLC + K-lite kombi you're good to go, which is as uncomplicated as the murky complex world of video file playback gets.

Ah right. It's something for music I'm primarily interested in, so something with a library, playlists stuff like that.

MediaMonkey does it all. MP3 tagging, Libraries,Playlists etc.. even sync and control Apple products.
Free version available to try and see if you get-on with it.

On my Android mobile i like to use PowerAmp, Nice GUI and sound.

I also use Poweramp, it's excellent. Very nice UI.

Couldn't get on with media monkey, the UI is too basic, it's just not engaging at all. Couldn't really work my way around it.

Just started using Amazon music (seems the bastardos took £79 for the year with out me realising) and it's great, listen to any music on my phone and fire stick
