At this moment in time, my media player of choice is iTunes, on both Mac OS and Windows.

It's hard for me to decide on just one. I tend to use Winamp for MP3s, QuickTime for QuickTime, RealPlayer for RealAudio, Windows Media Player for Windows Media and MIDI, an ancient Windows 3.1-era program called Pocket Recorder for WAVs, and so forth. Winamp v.5.01 wins by a hair.
A frustration I've had with some recent media players is that they try to be everything to everyone, taking care of all your file associations.

A few years ago (around 1999-2001) my favourite music player software was an program called Sonique.
There's been no new revisions of the Sonique 1.x series for about 2 years, the last version being v1.96.

The next revision, Sonique2, has been available in alpha development for about 2 years, and several
public alpha development builds were released. Now a public beta build of Sonique2 is available for
free download, as well as the last version from the original Sonique 1.x series.

Sonique is skinnable like Winamp with many varying skins available, but they can be just about any
shape, unlike Winamp, which generally retains a rectangular shape no matter which skin you use.

IIRC, Sonique was originally developed by an relatively small firm called MediaScience, which was
eventually acquired (sometime in 2000 IIRC) by Lycos. The Sonique development team hence
became known as TeamSonique when the acquisition by Lycos was completed.

Oh, and IIRC, Sonique supports several audio formats, including the Windows Media Audio format.

Winamp 5 for audio files, and WMP for video files. iTunes is good too though, although it's much slower under Windows than Winamp, and the 'aqua' type GUI doesn't really fit in under Windows XP.

Nullsoft makes Winamp, not Netscape.

Gladly. You obviously installed Winamp at the same time that you installed Netscape, resulting in the Netscape-bundled skin being set as the default. if you try to change the skin in Winamp, the default skin would still be there, along with the currently selected Netscape Winamp skin. But if you right click Winamp somewhere on the screen and choose 'Nullsoft Winamp', you get the credits and all the rest of that.

In addition to what Mandrake said, the version of Winamp that was included with Netscape 7.x
is the very much out of date v2.80. Since then, Winamp 2.x has been updated to v2.9, then an
incremental update to v2.91. That has since been obsoleted by the recent Winamp5 release.

Is there a media player that plays all formats? Free or otherwise?

Real Player 10 can play most formats, including Quicktime and WMV.
