[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What is a good music player for Windows 10? MP3's, MP4's and Windows Media Files.

Anyone know of a good free (hopefully) media player that works with Windows 10 that will play these files reliably? I have tried Windows Media Player and it locks up both my laptops just trying to play a simple MP3 file. One will not play the file, just sits and spins; the other will play the first song, if you click on another it completely locks up the laptop and you have to use task manager to shut the application down.

I don't remember the name of the player that came on my new laptop, but it took 20-30 seconds just to load a new song after you clicked on it. Unusable for me.

Thanks...

VLC is nice for all around playback of songs/videos as mentioned. If you want a little more management for just music files, I like foobar2000.

In case nobody has mentioned it yet: VLC

Its the golden standard for audio and video playback, open source and free.

I pimp VLC in every media thread, but in truth I'm using an old-ass version of WinAmp. If it ain't broke..

Hands down, foobar2000 is the best for music. Actively developed, lots of nice add-ons (components). VLC is my pick for video.
