[QUOTE=Brt5470;34805935]Please tell me you don't use VLC as your default player.[/QUOTE] What's better? I've been using VLC for about a year as an upgrade from WMP but it loves to crash and be a general pain
Media Player Classic: Home Theatre VLC is very very useful, but more of a temp fix for codec problems if you need to watch something immediately.
I use Foobar 2k for music and VLC for videos, what exactly is wrong with it?
PotPlayer erryday
[QUOTE=inconspicious;34807727]I use Foobar 2k for music and VLC for videos, what exactly is wrong with it?[/QUOTE] it's designed for portability, not quality mpchc + codecs (if you don't have a little time on your hands you can just install k-lite or cccp, those both come with mpchc) generally have higher quality in regards to colour reproduction and overall picture quality. I'd post comparison shots but i don't want this derailing into a "vlc vs mpchc" thread. There's nothing inherently [i]wrong[/i] with vlc, it just isn't the ideal solution for someone looking to get the most out of their system.

I used foobar2k for music until it fucked up my album art then I just used the windows one
[QUOTE=Brt5470;34805935]Please tell me you don't use VLC as your default player.[/QUOTE] Uh yeah I do. I love it.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;34805935]Please tell me you don't use VLC as your default player.[/QUOTE] VLC's set as my default. Because when I doubleclick a file, I'm opening it as a one off - meaning I don't want it to mess with foobar2000's playlists at all.
Here is how my current desktop looks. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/hQxK3.png[/thumb] I just finished re-arranging my desktop setup as well as theme.
The beginnings of a new wallpaper. What do you all think? I'm not sure where to take it from here, but it's not yet finished. Any suggestions? [IMG]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8046/cubewip.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=P320;34813575]THAT UPDATER[/QUOTE] That fucking updater is the entire reason I uninstalled iTunes. I got really tired of the pile of crap minimizing games and other full screen applications to get my attention.

Because this is ballocks.
I see spirit as the unconcious mind.
[QUOTE=Anthrax713;34820150]I see spirit as the unconcious mind.[/QUOTE] Give me one instance where there is a mind without a brain. A mind is a product of a brain, not a home or conduit for it. A mind (aka courteousness) is a by-product of thought and how we decide about things, for one I can alter it but drinking, taking drugs or lopping out part of my brain. Now can we get off this pseudoscience or make a thread in the appropriate section.

Olivia wilde is just... no words. There are plenty of people I have the hots for, but she's in like her own contest.
