Looks particularly versatile in classifying music and should appeal to enthusiasts. Also, vinyl records are back in fashion, so its name should help. Not being demanding, for mere music I use the small, light and portable GreenForce player. It can't compare to the above, but does the job without fuss. On my old XP PC, I had about 10 media players, and for music I ended up using this one, so I brought it over to the new system. I certainly wouldn't use the on board media players for anything, as I'm sure MS will be monitoring them. EDIT: I remember now what I like in particular about GreenForce player. It plays midi files as music, something that even the almighty VLC player couldn't do.
