is there a best music player on the computer?

I recently bought an HRT MusicStreamer II and have listened to internet radio lately but sometimes the stations have their own player that they prombt you to use but I have had no luck with. For example: KUSF does not work for me, they offer a choice of Flash 2.0 Flash 3.0 and Windows Media Player. When I select one of these in the pop up window it does not work.

What is the best music player for my computer (Windows XP pack 3)?

Is there a way to select one player to use with everything?

What is the best choice for this?

I presume the individual website are to blame in some instances, however, I need a plan of attack.

any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I do not think Windows Media Player is a good sounding player at all. It may be your best bet for internet radio, I'm not sure on that one as I don't listen to internet radio. However Media Monkey, J River, and Foo Bar are three good ones that will sound much much better for playing your music files.

thanks guys,

I do not have any music files on my computer yet but I do enjoy the radio.

Tom when you say to go to the listen tab do you mean listen settings? there is nothing that just says listen but listen settings asks for my email etc.

I am looking for an answer to all my internet radio listening and what player to use.

thanks,

Phil

I am fairly new to computer audio, and recently have tried most all of them. JRiver is by far the best. I mean just waaay better than the rest. It just has no real competition.

Apple owners would say Pure Music. Having used Foobar and Exact Copy on Windows XP, I would say the Mac is much better and more reliable.
