replacement for wmp?
Somewhere on these forums I saw several recommendations for software to replace wmp.
I'm looking for an application that is preferably freeware that will work as good or better ...maybe address some of the problems people are having with wmp (I haven't run across any myself but my wife plays music constantly). Any ideas? |

VLC is good, but why not use WMP? It works great for those that don't have problems with it

Thanks to all...that gives me a place to start. I liked the loks of VLC and Jet-something-or-other.
As I said, I don't use WMP much but just in case... |

VCL uses more memory: on one of my media files, it uses 100 mb while on the wmp, it only uses 30
VCL also uses more processor utilization. Windows media player uses the new media foundation and is MUCH more efficient with resource usage |

i just default vlc because i'm too lazy to open stuff in wmp and then reopen it in vlc when i find out it won't play. if your system is struggling with video playback then maybe vlc isn't your best choice... otherwise for the lazy person that just wants pretty much everything to play correctly the first double click i think vlc is the way .

I may have a problem of comprehension, but why would anybody worry about RAM usage these days. I just put an additional 1GB into a friends older system - cost of the operation was $20,85 including shipping. And when you are watching a video, you usually don't do anything else on your system anyhow (that is different with music though).
