What audio player do you use on your PC?

Post by twogurusindrag »

I use foobar2000. I'm thinking of swapping to something flashier. Do you have a recommendation?

JRiver Media Center is a wonderful program. Lots of bells and whistles, Also, I'm not an audiophile but it's touted as processing high quality sound. I also use it to play movies. One feature is that for many songs it will display the lyrics. There's a feature called "Spotlight" that lets you highlight an artist and a window comes up with various albums by the artist and the ones you have are displayed with a play button. My main playlist has over 350k tracks and they are easily sorted in a variety of ways including name of song, artists, bit rate, and file type. It has TV, Cloudplay, Streaming, etc. There are remote features via Internet but I never have set it up for that. Hover over a movie and it takes you to the DVD cover and provides a synopsis, cast, director, etc. The features of JRiver are too numerous to list here. I think the player cost $40 or $50 or so. I buy an upgrade every couple of years (for $20 or $25 or so) for new features and to support the company/programmers.

At the moment I am using Pot Player

Was happy with Windows Media Player (Win 11) but Runtime Broker was needed and this used to much processing power.
Tried a lot of things - I like VLC Player, AIMP, Foobar, Winamp but Pot Player does everything I want

Is there an award for the most badly designed audio software ever? I nominate Windows Media Player.

I use VLC.
