LET'S TALK MEDIA PLAYERS

Ditch Windows Media. Ew.

For music, I highly suggest foobar2k.
It's lightweight, completely customizable, and has out-of-the-box support for almost every (mainstream) audio filetype imaginable. Most of all, it's lightweight. In other words, "it just works". Does everything Winamp can do, but better.

Alternatives are Winamp, which I find to be totally bloated and resource hungry, iTunes, which is way bloated and slow and completely worthless unless you have an iPod (even then, there are better alternatives), and finally VLC Media Player which I dislike.

As far as video, I suggest Media Player Classic Homecinema.
You can get it here. (Download the Mega pack.)
It's lightweight, and like fb2k, has support for nearly all imaginable filetypes.

Alternatives are... well, MPC-HC is pretty much universally accepted as the best video player out there, but the only real competition would be VLC, which as I said before, I dislike.

yes, and I've heard from multiple sources that it sucks.

Time to configure your addons. Adblock Plus is a must.
