If you are looking for a media player or are ‘re-evaluating’ the software you are currently using, here is a nice article comparing popular media players.
The players compared are Winamp, MediaMonkey, iTunes and Windows Media Player, all of which are widely used. Features/functions compared are:
- File type support
- Searching/Filtering and Playlists
- Tagging
- Interface speed
- Bloatware analysis
- Library maintenance
- Extras
- Miscellaneous issues
After all is said and done, the author ranks the players in the following order: MediaMonkey, Winamp (close 2nd), Windows Media Player and iTunes. Of course, this is subjective but it still gives you a good overview of the systems are not using.

I like VLC media player.
It’s at http://www.videolan.org/
I vote for Songbird. It good now and will do nothing but get better in the future.
I can’t believe they left VLC out.
Song bird and windows media player are my favorite . but than again they are only interfaces and have nothing to do with sound quality
I vote for Songbird. It good now and will do nothing but get better in the future.
hey why u dont compare real player its the best
I thought Songbird is audio only, so not really a full function media player.
KMPlayer is my choice. VLC seemed to spend most of its time locked up.
