No, not The Kinison's new album [although they're quite fantastic too.]
But, every good forum needs one of these threads.
Plus it means we can all laugh at David trying to be cool.

ah ha!! (or if your feeling crazy and a bit wacky then perhaps a "ha ah!!!" is in order?) I now have music and am listening to donna lewis-I love you always forever...Im such a girl the next few songs are how the stars got crossed by radio 4 and then tv on the radio-staring at the sun, to be honest i hate listening to music on my computer, what with mp3 and dodgy speakers and windows media player always sounds terrible, I prefer real player. what about you guys, media player or real??

the majority of my listening time is probably done on a computer actually...

yeah I have them all too, but i rarely use media player, its just so poo, it has nothing to do with my speakers either coz I just bought a pair of studio quality headphones (uber expesnive audiophile quality) and I tried out media player and compared it to real player and well media player sucks no matter how much you eq it the frequency response around the bass is terrible its just too bassy, if you turn it up a tiny bit then it just distorts my speakers and sounds poo through my headphones, wheras with realplayer you get a better flatter response with (well with the free one you only get a 3 band but you get a parametric eq if you pay) good resposive 3 band eq that work well, if you touch the bass eqs on media player it dissapears completely but if you turn it up a tiny bt then the bass takes over!! my favourite for video though is quicktime I like it beacause it saves most of the videos in to your temporary internet files so you can go and copy them in to your files even when the website wont let you download them, plus I like the mpeg4 files they're nice and small. Saying all that it really depends on your speakers, and for me media plyer sucks.

Dave, download the newest media player for gods sake.
Quicktime - Good, but takes too long to load and has a shit playlist system.
Realplayer - Evil program, it's horrible! I only have it for dodgy file types. It advertises shamelessly and cloggs up your bandwidth and RAM searching for updates every 5 minutes.
DivX player - By far the best for videos, it can be used to power widescreen TVs. Crap for anything else because of limited filetype capability.
Media Player - Great playlist system, good features like ctrl+B to resume your old playlist. Good sound quality if you have a newer version and dont have dodgy headphones (hahaha)
Pacha! Spoken like a true geek.

I have the newest media player it sucks, real player never searches for updates unless you ask it to and it has no adverts??? plus it sounds ten times better....but then you listen to papa roach so your used to stuff sounding like shit...
realplayer still has the best clarity and fidelity through the cheapest headphones (ie free ones with cd players etc the really gay ones) to crap pc spreakers (pc speakers always suck) to studio quality headphones nothing else sounds even half as good well except quicktime which takes so long because its goood!

I think Windows Media Player has good sound quality, and is by far the easiest to use. Like Andy says, it has some cool features like the handy ctrl+b thingy, and the playlist feature rules.
I love my media player.
And right now it is being used to listen to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. Mock all you wish.
