PCWorld Forums: Good MP3 software player for PC ? - PCWorld Forums

I think that a good portion of my lock ups may be coming from my MP3 player which is winamp.....seems to lock always when it is running and I open my mail or something. And more often than not when I start my PC and do not load winamp it doesn't lock.....like now.I don't know if you're supposed to be able to load a 5,000 song play list into it......but I do anyway and it has never seemed to have a problem....maybe it got confused and had to be terminated every time or two, but not often and not a full system lock.So I said all that to ask this: Anyone know of a good decent mp3 player (not winamp) that can handle a decent load of tracks and is relatively fast, I.E. Doesn't eat every piece of memory available ?Thanks.-vodmare.

Hi Vodmare. I use several players, including winamp, and I never have a problem. Have you updated to the latest version of Winamp. Here is the latest version of Winamp.In the meantime, try these as well:Jet AudioVLC Player

Thanks! I shall be giving these a go.-vodmare.

My Pleasure :-)
