I've tried them all, and like everyone I've got iTunes (not least because it handles and catelogues all my files with minimal intervention on my part). But even iTunes is a resource hogging nightmare. I found one by one after searching endlessly for something SIMPLE so that i could play tunes AND do my e-mailing at the SAME time on my Duron (durable as it is, it was having problems...). One by One is something i use EVERYDAY with almost no maintenance. Pay attention to mp4 plugins, that's the one area that will frustrate you if done wrong.

I appreciate the efforts of any and every party working in open-source applications, but FFWD show has got to be the biggest joke in terms of recent builds. I'll try this one, silly me, but past builds have caused all sorts of problems, most recently some "interesting" tempo variations that it took days to diagnose, that is when i had sound at all... My advice to these guys is to exhibit patience and release more slowly,stable builds equals public acceptance!! Stop with the bells and whistles already while you're at it. That's why i couldn't diagnose properly - too many functions had been given over to FFDShow too quickly and I had no idea they were there! Why does everything one instsalls these days have to run the whole damned computer? If it's gonna' go earn my rent and then cook me dinner - okay we're go!! until then, keep it simple stupid...
