want to find a good all in one media player

[tlarkin]

okay, I use VLC for just bout everything cuz it plays everything, takes up little resources, and runs nice over the LAN for streaming.

However I would like to possibly get a new media player for audio files, mp3, mp4, flac, aac, etc.

I would want something that takes up like no resources, and has a decent UI, and also it lets me organize my music how I want. I like itunes interface, but I hate how it organizes music and I hate that it eats up cpu and memory like nobody's business.

suggestions?

Media Player Classic! I don't know about organizing your files, though... It might have a playlist,but I never use it

it won't play flac, or at least I haven't found a codec for it. I updated to version 10 but again like itunes media player kinda hogs up resources. Maybe I should just find a good custom skin for VLC for audio

I don't know what flac files are, but yeah, if you have the codec, it'll play it! Mine's set to play Real media and Quick time files(and will play most any) Much faster and takes many less resources than those two...

for real media and quick time I use the alternatives imbedded in my web browser

I want to just play audio from my music library is all. I was kind of looking at winamp, but not sure if that is what I want exactly either

anyways thanks for the replies I'll keep looking...

it looks like winamp supports flac

I think I will try it, and maybe use a custom skin we will see.
