    Media Monkey is pretty good, handles all sorts of file formats.

    I just started using MPC-BE, based on Media Player Classic, but with added features I believe, it works well for me.

    Most everyone else says VLC, but I never liked it personally.

    +1 for VLC. Lightweight, Plays practically everything you throw at it and FREE!

  • VLC too for me, plays everything and easy to resink audio and video track if you need too.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
