hi guys <3

I wanna ask your opinion on which music player is the best, so it could help me decide which 1 to download and install

my windows media player got some weird "an internat problem has occurred" message, and i gave up fixing it.

Winamp .looks ugly.
And didnt tried RealOne.
I use version 10 i think.
Its cool to have it minimised like a mini player.

I prefer the new Windows Media Player; it's free, it's simple, and it does what I want it to do. Sure, it's slow, bulky, and takes a lot of memory, but it's pretty good at playing movies.

If you're talking about movie players... VLC and Media Player Classic are unmatched. I still prefer winamp, musicmatch, or realplayer to WMP

Winamp to stream (15-17MB)
foobar2000 for local (8-10MB)
TCPMP for memory optimization (4-6MB)

I use iTunes for my mp3's and such.
And then I use WMP for streaming and other various things.

For watching movies I'd say that Cyberlink PowerDVD is the best option around. I'd have to say it beats WMP in terms of features. Sure it looks abit ugly with no eye candy, but who cares, once you watch a video/movie, you won't concentrate on anything else more.

I use WMP 11... It matches my theme

I liked winamp, when you clicked NEXT and such it loaded the song instantly... and when you stopped it made it fade out quickly instead of a solid stop. It sounded nicer.

But winamp was retarded, it would stop my songs whenever i tabbed in/out of my games, and if i selected multiple files and hit enter it would only open one of them in Winamp, and i had to drag and drop. Never took the time to figure out playlists, as I just deleted it because of the stupid interface. It doesnt match anything. Sure it looks cool...

WMP has plenty of skins, but its default you can change the color. I wish I could make the buttons orange, it would be perfect ><

Realplayer SUCKS! Many reasons!

I dont use Itunes because i hate Mac...

But to be honest I dont even use WMP, I use www.projectplaylist.com -- www.radleygh.110mb.com

I set that page as my desktop background, so now it plays on my desktop =]

Explorer.exe gets some extra CPU usage, but I dont care... I got a good computer. 2gig of ram with dual core athlon x2 5200+ -- doesnt effect anything =]

Plus, media players never hurt my computers anyway, even my old crappy ones. They just didnt whore enough resources....

The only difference from them is the speed/effectiveness of the programs, and the interface/bonus features really.

As far as I know they will all play .mp3's the exact same, and .wavs too. Other file types I'm not so sure, if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
