What specifically "sucks" about WMP8? It plays CD's, MP3's, DVD's (with a plug-in), can create playlists and burn them to CD's.

bsplayer stands for bull$hitplayer...
The Playa is retarded, primitive and a complete waste of KB
MediaPlayer 6.4 was the fastest, easiest MP to date, then came 7 (with variations) and now we have 8.

I guess they all do what they are supposed to do: play media, but some are better at it than others. Up to you to decide

forgive me if i'm wrong, but can't you use 6.4 on XP by using the Win2000 version of it? i think i saw something about it a while back on www.etplanet.com

You don't need to download it - it's already there. Just run "mplayer2.exe"

Actually I prefer Media Player 8 (using the default skin on MP8 makes it pretty much like 6.4 except for the fact that it's better at playing certain media types)
