highland man Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Does anyone know of a free media player that can be docked on the desktop. (like what happens when you drag my documents to the very corner of the screen) I would like to be able to have my music always to hand. Any help appreciated. Thanks Highland Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 VLC for incomplete and troublesome files and Media Player Classic for everything else. Also VLC has just hit 10million downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Highland Man Do you want a media player or a music player? If media, then a combination of VLC and Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack will make you fairly invincible. If music, Foobar2000 is highly customisable, supports loads of different file types and is very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 iTunes 6 (Mac) for me. You know you can attach WMP 10 to your task bar and have control of your music from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompSci Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You know you can attach WMP 10 to your task bar and have control of your music from there? that what i love about it, reduces the memory load to < 2mb (which still alot though for a media player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
