WMP 7 was just as good really, same things in it
Only thing I don't like about that version (7) is that it didn't allow playlists, so it'd get annoying during robotics season.

It was pretty good back in the day. Streaming was a pain sometimes, but it did get better. I personally feel like ROP is trying to hard to mimmick the compeitition.

Never got into QT really. Only reason why I've ever used it is to play some South Park clips I got, which are in QT format.

The 2.xx versions were great really. The new ones have to many bells & whistles for my liking, so that's why I migrated back over to WMP 10.

This saying might not exactly work for this situation, but I think someone who proclaims "I do not know everything about something, I just know something about everything" works here. Reason being is that all the players try to support the mass population with their product, not just a single person. That's where programming your own becomes fun
@JoesphM: I can't really tell the difference, but that's just me.
