I'm looking for a media player that will do the following:
-Make playlists
-Able to add to play lists by either drag/drop, or right click on a folder and add all that way
-Is able to play just about every file type (mp3, m4a, and aac are most important)
-Is as lightweight as possible.
-Is VERY userfriendly. Very userfriendly as in, computer illiterate people could run it with ease.
Those are the main points that I'm looking for. Does anybody recommend a good player? I was going to use VLC Player, but I noticed that it can't play m4a files (or can it with a codec update?). I'm using JetAudio right now, but for some reason, when I play some m4a files, it does not want to let me to be able to scroll through the song.
The reason I'm looking for a player like this is because my friend's mom (who own's our town's bowling alley) asked me if I would help them set up a computer so they can play it through their sound system. I agreed I'd help, and they said they'd pay me. I already have all the songs/am organizing them as I speak, but I'd like to make it as easy as possible for them, since I'm not going to be there to run it, I'm just setting it up for them. The computer they're running it on only has a 1.6GHz CPU, and 512MB RAM, and is running on XP, SP1. They just did a fresh reinstall of XP on it, so it only has the basic programs, and only has WMP 9.
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.
