Best Alternative to WMP?
I know this isn't a computer forum, but I come here for opinions all the time. Here's the quick story:
I upgraded the RAM in my 5 year old desktop computer and wiped it clean because it was running slow and it got a virus. I reinstalled everything and did all the Windows Updates (it started with SP1 after the wipe). Now my windows media player is acting up, and updates and rollbacks don't seem to fix it. It gets some red and green digitized lines while watching videos, and then either crashes or reboots my computer. I tried looking for fixes with no luck (any computer gurus have suggestions?). Everything else runs fine and nice and fast now. So rather than go crazy trying to fix it, I just decided that a better alternative would be to find a new (free) program to take care of all my media-related needs and just make that the default played for everything.
So... what are my best alternatives to using Windows Media Player (besides iTunes - I have it and only use it for iPod purposes)?
Thanks!
