Windows Media Player Alternative

My Media Player 10 has just died and wants me to re-install it.

I've about had it with SH!TTY M$ products...

has/is anyone using any of the many alternatives out there and could recommend please?

Steve

Yup VLC or media player classic. Your supposed to be able to get media player classic to play .flv files (saved off youtube etc) but I hav'nt been able to get it to work so for that i've got VLC instead.

MediaMonkey is brilliant - doesn't work on Vista yet though

Winamp is quicker than media player

VLC is awsome, it even repairs AVI files if theres a problem with them (well some times it manages it)
