I notice that Im one of the few that prefers mplayer to vlc(another free media player). so I guess its my opinion, though I can tell you that the few who'vetried vlc and then mplayer because I mentioned it and they thought it sounded good have stuck with mplayer. so I guess its a personal choice and whether or not youre open enough to try something new, though I think the fact that were all using macs instead of windows boxes shows that were open enough. so its up to you, if you feel like it, try it, if not, dont. I suggest at least trying it, or youll never know theres a difference.:mac:
