I use VLC all the time for my video files because I don't have TOO many video files, and because I use playlist, but it doesn't support libraries and WMP has a nice layout and ways to find and enjoy your music more.

WMP is awesome software - it is well laid out and syncs to almost all mediaplayers with the exception of iPods because they suck

If you are using windows 7 64-bit or vista 64-bit you need the updated codecs from here: http://www.xiph.org/dshow/pmwiki.php/Main/Downl...

Both of my MP3 players decode FLAC and OGG (which sounds better at similar bitrates.) His comment was not ridiculous at all. There is no excuse for having a mp3 on your home machine when you could have a FLAC (even if you convert elsewhere), or for WMP for not supporting it.

Why waste time with windows media player when VLC media player can play all file formats and DVDs for free?

Well I must be out of my mind. I cant stand flamers and that is a ridiculous comment!

"Who in his right mind would want to transcode a lossless file to lossy.
Best advice would be to install a better player than WMP, something like foobar2000."

Your MP3 player decodes FLAC? And WMP is an excellent player.

You Can Decode Flac files to wave files using flac frontend or TLH(traders little helper). Wave files are decompressed and lossless.

There are reasons to use Windows Media, flawed as it may be. For example, my (now broken) mp3 player synced with WMP so I had to use it to put music on there. And if I have to have music on WMP for my mp3, what's the point in having another program entirely wasting space on my hard drive?
