Which is the better player? Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quick Time, or any other?

To me the windows media player is about the best as far as it goes. You should also have Quicktime as sometimes you will run across a site that only uses that as a source of streaming video. Real player is one of the most foulest things there is and will swamp you with all kinds of pop-ups and garbage, but you must use it for AOL and it makes you wonder about why everyone hates AOL.

You ought be able to still use Winamp for Quicktime media files if you have PowerPlayer integrated with it.

Looks good but read this in known issues: - Video window resizing (with modern skin used) didn’t work correctly under Win2k/XP. The video window will kept revert to it’s previous size if you attempt to move it. A solution was actually being used by the program and worked under Win98 (mostly), but it doesn’t seem to work under Win2k/XP. An API or modification within winamp’s skin engine itself would surely help.
apart from that it looks great, im going to download it now :-), thx sabertooth

Lots of players here.For Real files and Quicktime files the Real and Quictime Alternative programs work pretty well without all the garbage. http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads32.html
