Your welcome.
Reps for me :D
I use iTunes for just about everything, but I do have a Mac version of VLC that I use every now and again, though the codec support for it blows and seems to give me some interesting errors when trying to play WMV's. I've found that QuickTime + Flip4Mac is where it's @.
a lot of people dont like itunes for its music playing, but personally i ihnk its great and it does everythng i want it to do

I like iTunes for music playing, I just wish someone would make a player that utilises the hardware as well as Creative Media Player does. Coupled with an Audigy card the sound improvement is very noticible in Creative's player. Shame the player itself is incredibly badly designed and slow.
Actually Foobar2000 is pretty good at sound quality, but it's not as easy to use as iTunes.
VLC for movies as it doesnt require codecs and good old winamp for music.
i use foobar, its nice and simple and uses bugger all resources
