Winamp, another program that's been around a decade++
still does the job for me, and how!
I was using Winamp looooong time a go, when it was just a music player. I think it was around early 90s. Then, the new Winamp's releases started ha too much things that bothered me, so I stopped using it, and started usin other even worse :P
Now I use primarily iTunes, just because I have an iPod and a Mac, but
like been able to play it, so I started playing those songs with VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/), which I use primarily for DVDs and downlo videos.
I like VLC too, but one thing I've noticed about VLC is that it doesn't always handle DVD menus properly. It specifically seems to have trouble with certain animated DVD menus. I seem to also remember times when I've used VLC where it didn't even show the top-level DVD menu.

That's cool :) It seems that Microsoft and Apple are going down similar routes in developing home entertainment software. I recently discovered
the "Remote" app for the iPhone/iPod Touch in Apple's App Store, which lets you control iTunes on one of your computers wirelessly via your home network, and it's pretty cool.
Also, I have been using Windows 7 on my main PC for a while now, and its Media Player software says it has support for Netflix streaming video,
which I think is cool. I've never used Netflix, but I thought that was interesting. But supposedly, Netflix supports streaming video through your web browser too, so I'm not sure what Windows Media Player would add to
that (except perhaps playing the movie with a more "conventional" user interface).
