Is that the player of choice for windows?

I kinda want something that plays SID music natively...

For music on my Windows PC I use nightingale, follow on from Songbird. Plays most formats natively.

I use Media Player Classic as its less bloated than VLC, but VLC is very good

I never liked VLC, I have it installed as a last resort (I do like the on-the-fly rotation) but I use MPC-BE for everyday video watching. It's forked away from Media Player Classic and MPC-HC with some extra features and bugfixes. It also has a much nicer interface (especially in full screen).

Media Player Classic, VLC is a "if it doesn't play in VLC the file is broken" backup.

Meh. Wanted specifically something that I could play C64 SID music in - so I could wang in a mixed playlist, hit "go" and bob would be your uncle...

I still use Winamp for my music and VLC for Video content. Would like a all in one program, but haven't found one with a UI I like.

I use a "Made in China" piece of software as my default media player for video formats, it's brilliant. Called SPlayer
