Almost all of us enjoy listening music and watching videos, movies in our computer systems. If you are using Windows and didn't install any 3rd party software, you must be using default "Windows Media Player" to listen MP3 or watching videos.
Although Windows Media Player is a good multimedia player and works great but some people don't like it because of some limitations and heaviness on resources.

long time user of VLC player however the last version update I had it bogged down to a crawl.
I found potplayer thinking until I got vlc sorted out,I never changed back,its fast and does what I need.
I have a massive music collection so for that I do like 1x1 player as it plays from the directory without making playlist,its not pretty and maybe could have a couple added options but it works flawlessly as is.

I have tried all of those. VLC is the one I use. But KLM wasn't too bad either.
