Popular Media Player Comparision

Posted Jun 29, 2009 by Jason Faulkner  

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.

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...
