Hi Zorak, is that the Windows Vista version ?

I use the version that comes with XP and it seems to work pretty well. I use it for my Samsung MP3 Player when I must.. Otherwise I use MP3 Ripper I got from a free web site that is pretty plain.. I mainly want it for tagging and ripping my CDs to load into my Blackberry or Samsung Player that I sync into my car..

For DVD's I use DVD Fab.. It is a much better tool..

But just for playing the MP3's and Video's on my laptop, I use Windows Media yes..

I have checked out WMC but it doesnt quite make it for me.
Yes the UI is pretty slick.
I dont like the DRM restrictions though.

I use Sagetv.

It's the windows 7 version, i have no idea whats different to older versions, if any - it's scared me for too long

I like windows media player though, works fine for me.

It's a bit of a pain in all honesty, but it does look pretty cool.

I can't wait for the day when we have computers like in minority report :24:

I use it at work because it's either that or winamp, and I can't stand winamp. .At home I usually use Last.fm on my xbox or I'll use the Zune software on my lappy.

It's what I use to watch TV on, great little PVR
As far as music, Winamp will always have my heart, and movies, you can't go wrong with media player classic.
