qmp for just a media player is OK
DJFarmer767December 15, 2014
Pros
For using as a media player for music Haven't tried video with it, It works and that's about it
Cons
The problem begins when you start using Gracenotes with this player it wants to lock up. And if it for Gracenotes I would dump qmp after the first day of using it!
Summary
If you want just a media player is is ok. But if you are fine tuning you music tags this player blows. I wish that winamp was still supported by Gracenotes.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 10, 2015<p/>sgdfshstjykjdskjd<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 12, 2015<p/>I downloaded the new version of this player in hopes of some of the problems be addressed. But the took a barely useable player and turn it into a POS. It stops and shut down. What is it about these programers that that a program and turn it into a bunch of garbage!!! The new version is so bad that as much as I hated the older version I'm back to using the older version.
I like simple

Simple and Easy

Pros
Its really good if you want something simple just to play music
Cons
Nothing I've noticed so far it's pretty straightforward for anyone to use
Summary
My windows media player 11 recently had issues launching so i needed a music player just to listen to my music mostly, It's simple and has a lot of skins to choose from if you like personalizing your computer, it's a small file too so if you're looking for something small and simple I would recommend this:)
This is a great product!!!

Pros
It is easy to use, quick to set up and adding things to it is fairly simple. I like the play que, you can set up a list of stuff to listen to, and change it depending on your mood at the moment.
Cons
It can be a little confusing until it gets itself completely set up. It has no burn disc feature. It doesn't like things in Winamp format.
Summary
This is one of the best media players I have run across. I have recommended it to several of my friends already. With the downloadable skins it can be made fit fit just about anyone's taste.
Old version was better
zaivalaMarch 19, 2011
Pros
This used to be a great product. It still runs like the old one. But...
Cons
I have no clue why, but QP scans many of my files and renames them. I did not have this problem with QCD 3. Some of the artists and song titles it comes up with would be hilarious, if it weren't MY STUFF. I can't find a forum or contact address.
Summary
I can't find anything better to use. Any suggestions? WMP sux, WinAmp sux, RealPlayer REALLY sux, and I hate Apple products.
All around great media player.

Pros
Simple and nice looking. Pretty green and silver look.
Cons
For some reason when I adjust the volume it also changes windows XP volume too. This is annoying. And I have not found a solution.
Summary
Great. Losses a star because of volume issue.

Amazing Player
ddebanksNovember 17, 2010
Pros
Easy to use and very easy on the eyes
Cons
none that i have found
Summary
still checking out many other players also
I like it, good interface.
don.pittmanSeptember 2, 2010
Pros
It works well for me.
Cons
I haven't used it long enough to find any but, I'm sure there are
Summary
For me it does everything I need. The first thing new users should do is go through the advanced options. It is not as techie as foobar. I tried it and it seemed I fought it all the way. The tagging is done through grace. I have always had luck with them. I read one review that said it took a long time to load, but I loads faster for me than Winamp or Media Monkey. Even with a large library. I have not tried the video and probably won't, VLC does anything I ask it to. I realize there are only a few people that read the reviews, but if you read this; try it. No cost and if you don't like it uninstall it. No harm no fowl.
Original was better
mr_de_01July 31, 2010
Pros
It works ok
Cons
Loads way to slow- dosn't want to load codec's for file coversion such as mp3 so have to use old one to convert from cd or wave to mp3
Summary
I still use the old one on 3 of my computers even though i have the media player one on them also because it lags to much. Only use the media player on 1 laptop because I can't find the original one to reinstall.
