    PowerDVD & WinDVD (different machines) for viewing DVD's; not a lot between them really, but I do just slightly prefer WinDVD, better menu, imo.

    Winamp 2.81 for audio playback, I love Winamp

    Have been trying Nero V6.0's media player for a short while now, it's not too bad, not too bad at all.

    Very occasionally, will use Windows Media Player (latest one) for video file playback.

    foobar for audio, it handles my collection of 2^12 files very well.
    wmp6.4 for video, mplayer for when im playing dvd's or something on another machine - for under 5MiB on my usb disc i can play practically any media file.

    media player classic. under a meg, and if provided with codecs will play any file written with the 4 most popular encapsulations (mov, avi, mpeg including dvd, rm) as well as the less popular ones (ogm & matroska).

    i use winamp 5 for mp3, and MPC for absolutely everything else.

    http://www.netean.com/stp/ - STP (system tray player). A tiny mp3 player that has lots of options. Can be controlled using hot keys, or single, double, triple and quad clicks on the sys tray icon.
