Can anyone reconmend a good media player?

I've been using Windows Media Player for years, until some months ago when it inexplicably deleted several songs. So I had several albums with missing tracks. Why it did that, I'll never know. But I do know that I've had it with it's stupid flaws.

I don't like using Winamp because it's just weird and annoying to use. Before I had WMP I used Music Match Jukebox which was pretty good, until a new update made it stupid.

#1 - Media Player Classic - soo much better then Media Player

#2 - VLC

VLC

SM player runs anything and runs it really well.

VLC is a smaller and really good program aswell, that has the ability to play just about anything you throw at it (altho I found it had some problems with playback on a few highly compressed vids, its a very rare thing to come across tho, so VLC is a very good general media player.
