Media Players

VideoLAN VLC media player

VLC media player 0.9.9.

decided to try it out.  looks to have a lot of potential, but still a little buggy for me use.  it has crashed multiple times while playing music from my connected ipod.  playing with the equalizer also crashes the program.  i also couldn't exit properly, without it just crashing.

the first thing that stuck out was "wow, i don't just go up to 100% for volume level?  it's 200%!  THAT'S TWICE AS LOUD!"

foobar2000 v0.9.6 4

Standard installation install foobar2000 for all users of this machine

OR

Portable installation

In portable mode all configuration data is stored in the application folder.  Nothing is written to the registry, no icons are created and no uninstaller is created.

No preset equalizer settings that come with the installation.  You'll need to find plug-ins.  The equalizer range goes from -20db to +20db, while winamp is -12db to +12db.

Still using winamp for now.
