Quicktime was good, but the registration reminder and upgrade notice became very wearing. Realplayer was always just awful.

Winamp v2.x was of course, damn near as perfect I use xmms now, which is a clone for X.

The best media player that I have used has to be Xine, plays just about every file format included qt, rm and wmv.
Hmm, so much for competition breaking down. I thought you implied there was no alternatives to Windows Media Player...
