who the hell still uses windows media player? I use windows and everyone else I know who uses windows never opens WMP. We all have VLC for videos, but for the movies that we all totally pay for we use Kodi/XBMC or jellyfin

Mpc is significantly better than VLC. Occasionally I need VLC to play a file but we're now talking every 1-2 years. VLCs UI is baaad.

VLC's UI on windows hasn't changed much in over 10 years now. It definitely would benefit from a search function to quickly find certain settings to fine tune your expirience with it. But I sandbox all of my software, so no cache files or data it writes onto the drive I make it write to ever sticks around for very long.

Any time I need to open a link from a friend I copypaste the link into a sandboxed browser that doesn't have access to any of the shit going on in the other sandboxes instead of opening it rawdog into that same sandbox.

They re-named it "Kodi" but a lot of the stuff in it doesn't work very well anymore

Since the time of internet I've used Winamp for music, MPC and VLC for videos, Irfanview for images. Now I use Kodi for movies and series, Foobar2000 for music, Irfanview for images and MPC for other videos. Fuck streaming services.
