None of those. Depending on the media I use Nero Showtime, WinAmp or Arcsoft Total Media Theater.

*EDIT* - on my Mac I use iTunes & VLC

From the above choices, I use WMP the most. Not so much the program itself, but the underlying technology (required for Netflix, Amazon VOD, etc). Otherwise, I just stick to Winamp for music and MPC HomeCinema for videos.

I use MPC and VLC player for movies and Winamp for music. But from the above I would choose WMP simply because I have never used the other 2 :P

Media Player Classic for everything non-music. A mixture of Winamp and iTunes for music. If I want to listen to 1 song or create a small playlist it's Winamp. If I need to add to one of my iPods or just let the collection shuffle I use iTunes.
