winamp looks cool, but tends to be a little buggy. you'd think by 5.02 they would have worked it out by now

Its ok, but after a long uptime it gets a bit angry with me for not treating it nicely; it tends to lock up and kill all sound on my boxen. Its not the best for videos either in my humble opinion.

VLC, I use it on my mac, and on Windows. I'd probably use it on linux if I had it installed too
