    Question Looking for good Music player.

    Hey all, my windows media player is all screwed up and i'm just looking for a music software thats free and plays music with less recourses used possible. I was thinking WinAmp or whatever its called but I dunno. Remember I need something that doesnt use a lot of recourses on my comp because I hate how media player was doing that on my comp.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Go with winamp... works ok for me and definately uses less resources than WMP, for a no frills type of player you could try Foobar2000.

    Winamp doesnt have half the bloatware of WMP. If you really want a low resource version, use Winamp 2.0 - before they put the minibrowser and video playing shenanegans into it

    it says "Type of File: Windows Media Audio file" The other ones that DO work for winamp say this... "Type of File: Winamp media file".

    I was wondering how to change the files that are windows media audio to winamp.

    sounds like DRM-coated Widnows Media Audio (WMA) files to me.

    what's the CD?
