iTunes is a good choice

I've conformed to the Apple machine. iTunes.

Been using winamp forever, never froze on me. Don't get the latest version, it blows and is slow. Get like 5.4 or 5.6.

What version of Windows and what version of Winamp?

Mine had the same problem for a while on Windows 7, but the latest version has fixed it.

Both of my laptops are running on Vista and Windows 7 , both of them has the same issue.

But on Vista , it only happens 3 out of 5 times.

i think i'll try the iTunes , i checked and found out that iTunes comes with Radio too , hope my internet can receive the stream..

I second foobar2k. It's the most customisable music player available, can handle every format you can think of and it won't get bogged down with large (>50GB) libraries like iTunes does.

I have tried so many music players in my time, but I keep going back to WMP. I just love the feel/layout of everything.

Rythos · Thu, 30th-Jun-2011, 8:12 PM

I used to be really big on Winamp, but as someone who reloads Windows every few months to keep things "clean", over the years I've slowly become lazier and lazier with the apps I bother reinstalling after a wipe. WMP plays my mp3's, picks up my radio streams and sounds fine to me. Job done.

cruxis · Thu, 30th-Jun-2011, 9:25 PM

I have 150gb of music and it's only slow when I have to reload all the music into it. Don't use any plugins or anything, and I love the Blue Invasion skin.

AvPoker · Thu, 30th-Jun-2011, 9:37 PM

Be a man. Use Windows Media Player.

cruxis · Thu, 30th-Jun-2011, 9:54 PM

WMP has always been slow and a mess to navigate in comparison to Winamp.

lol, just opened WMP to have a look, and going from artist, to genre, to artist really fast made it crash.

I used to use iTunes a long time ago, but i found it added that little big of lag that was distracting enough to become a mental factor.

I switched to foobar, as it had the less CPU usage, and was nice and simple. It worked great for ages, but as soon as a bugged song is put in it would crash my foobar and i would have to redo playlists, and eventually i stopped.

Right now i am using winamp. It meets the two half way (decent usage). It's simple enough, and plays ata good quality (good fade in and out) and it doesn't bug out. It's working very nicely for me right now.

I used to get that problem with winamp. It's usually a plugin. I used the last.fm and IRC plugins, I don't think it was specifically one of them - just a problem with plugins.

Delete your plugins folder. Uninstall winamp. Reinstall and try again.

Or just do a completely fresh install, delete the winamp registry keys and the saved user settings it leaves behind etc.

-- I use iTunes but I hate it.

I use winamp classic, it's like version 2.0 or something - just the old school simple interface without the fancy crap. Never had a problem with it.
