Title: Music Players for Windows PCs
Post by: ComicsLover on January 19, 2013, 12:01:42 PM
Window 7 Home Premium version.

Dad (bless 'im) accidentally blew a fuse so my computer unexpectedly died.
When I powered it back up it had an option for Chkdsk....so I ran it.

A few hours later....I'm wondering why I was stupid enough to follow a suggestion from Microsoft.

Several songs that I had on my Windows Media Player are now filled with stutters and stammers.
I tried moving the files to my laptop and they played fine, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with WMP.

Went to MS Official Website to download a fresh version of WMP12.
Did you know they don't provide a link?  Just a notice that it comes free with Windows 7.  (No duh?  So did Chkdsk.  Woo.)

Anyway, since MS is being a pill (and since I'm overly fond of music) I'd like to get a different player that isn't iTunes.  (Been there, done that.)

Any suggestions, oh wise ones?  :thud:  (Just pretend that icon is me falling down at your feet in worship.)

For some reason it seems that the Foobar2000 one is a good one, but I have not tried it out.

Also there is:
