Playing video and music on linux is a big disappointment compared to the big
players like winamp, wmp, foobar and others on windows.

lol @ media players with a vertical volume bar. :/

well, WMP is by far the biggest embarashment to the concept of media players I've ever seen, and winamp, well,, it's so behind it's not even funny.

Linux users have Amarok, what on the win platform can come close to that? But that's only audio. For video, I want something with a play/pause button, a progress button and maybe a volume/mute button. Anything else is overkill (OK, support for automatic loading of subtitles is nice). Dragonplayer does fine - it's barebones but good enough. Sometimes, yes, VLC is nicer but the feature creep in that app is painful...
