    I've never paid attention to media player resource usage xD

    I'll check it right now:
    Jetaudio V8
    Playing a song without any enhancements was using 20MB of ram.
    (With a playlist of 25 MP3's)
    Both consoles opened, Main Window and Player Window.
    And with the grey skin that comes with it.

    Creative media source player--which came free with their sound card. Excellent, way better than media player.

    Quicktime alternative, Real Alternative, and the Media Player Classic that comes with those.
    FFD show, and the XP codec pack.
    Haven't found anything this combo can not play.

    Foobar for music. Have it for years and love it. Down to earth gui and sounds great (yes, players sound different. Don't ask me why.). SMPlayer for video. Just using it a few weeks, but very content with it. It replaced MPC and Subviewer.

    KMPlayer on XP and Vista. VLC on Win7.
    KMPlayer has issues on Win7.
    VLC seems perfect for every use, although I don't like their default gui.

    iZotope Ozone for Media Players

    It's not free, but you asked for quality.

    I use MediaMonkey and although it is not included in your poll, it is imo the best one out there. I have used plenty of others (Winamp, XMPlay, Foobar, Windows Media Player), and feel that even the free version of Media Monkey is better than most of the others, and the paid version is the best. Anyone who has not tried it should.

    At the moment i am using "Media Player classic home cinema" for movies, its plays mkv better, more reliably and with the least resource use of any other i have tried.

    For music at the moment i am using Quuxplayer.

    In that case you should take a look at the full-fledged iZotope Ozone VST (if you haven't already). At first glance it may seem as expensive, but actually it's not :D

    Also, care to share some of your own findings on good VST plugins?

    I used RealPlayer for years,and have since moved to VLC,(which reiceved my vote)

    I do not allow it to connect out,run it sandboxed,and update it manually.
    So far I am really happy with it.
