I just got a new computer. It came with lots of bells & whistles including DVD Drive, CD-RW drive, etc. I have a computer at work with similar bells & whistles. (Here’s where the help is needed.)
I hate Windows Media Player. My computer at work is a Sony Vaio so it came with Sonic Stage. That is what I use when I burn mix CD’s there. My new computer is an eMachine with Windows XP. (Now for the big question.)
Does anyone have any suggestions on a software program I can use as an alternative?
There are a number of players out there but none that I know that will stream A/V ment for media player. Check cnet.com > downloads for their top picks.
Yeah, yeah, Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ and all…
I play RealMedia files with RealPlayer, .mov files with QuickTime, MP3s with WinAmp (3.0’s bells & whistles are stupid), .wav files with Sound Recorder and .avi files with Window’s Media Player.
Fact is, a media plays best (i.e. loads fastest, crashes the least, plays smoothest) on the player it was designed for. They’re all free and with +20GB hard drives there’s plenty of disk space for them all…
