What kind of player do you use for your music,movies, to play. I DL realpalyer.still dl, then I may do Winamp.

swedeace · 04-17-2006, 09:16 PM

Windows Media Player 10.

I will use WinAmp or RealPlayer if I can't get an audio/video file to play on Win Media Player.

iTunes for almost all of my media. The only online radio stations I listen to are KROQ and 97.1 FREE FM.

If I want to view movie clips and the like (I never download full movies), I use Windows Media Player or Youtube.com. I love using Limewire for my music.

As for radio stations, Vh1.com and live365 offer some nifty selections (you can pick what you want to listen to based on genres...although I'm sure nearly every online radio station does that. I usually listen to the classic rock, alternative, 90s grunge, or indie).

Oh, I forgot the radio thing....

I use Radio Sweden - http://www.sr.se/ If anyone is interested, they have various radio stations of different types of music (rap, classical, world music, pop, R&B, rock, alternative....by clicking on the various stations of P1, P2, P3, etc...). Just click on "webbradio" on the upper lefthand corner.

I use Realplayer 8+ for some stuff and VLC for most other stuff.......

I also use WMP9 for some also..........

The BEST music player I have is SCREAMER RADIO which all I have to do is click RECORD on it and the stream im listening to is saved as an MP3 file......

I live abroad and the only current network show I watch is Young Sheldon. There was a Chinese application I downloaded from my phone which worked well for a few months beautifully and now the video doesn’t work. I still have it on my phone hoping that it would be fixed but to no avail. Before it went craps, I watched the whole series of Shameless (again) and it had all seasons of The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Young Sheldon and Star Trek Picard among many others.

Now I use this website www.Watchseries.id . The positive of this website is that it hosts almost all TV shows from the 1950’s until now. This is what I will use when I watch Young Sheldon tomorrow.

The problem with it is that it is a “pain in the ass” to use. As in, when you touch the interface, a pop up comes up. This happens several times and it is taxing to the patience of the user. It offers four players but only one player reliably works. It is about five plus minutes of hemming and hawing, x’ing out unwanted popups, before it works, and will even go to a popup when one gets the show and tries to expand the screen. It is an exercise of patience and about five minutes of headache but the show will come on commercial free. But then, and maybe because I am in China, sometimes the feed will stop mid episode. Sometimes it will, sometimes it plays right through. Hopefully when I go back to America two weeks from now, it won’t be an issue. But it’s worth the headache and aggrevation to watch a show without commercials.

Yong Fang,

You don't need to push the submit button twice when replying. Most of your posts are going through twice. You just double posted in this thread ten minutes apart.

I don't know if you just have a crappy connection or what's causing it. You need to be a little more patient when posting. I see some others who are double posting occasionally, but the majority of your posts are duplicates.
