Werner! Good to see you back, man. It's been quite some time since you posted here. I hope all is well.
 
Hi Duke

yes, thank's its all ok by me
but over the past years, I drived only the BC's
 
I use Winamp, have done for 5+ years now and have never felt the need to change.
 
I use iTunes. As far as speakers go...screw the wimpy computer speakers, I'm using my 300watt stereo system. :D

PS3 or CD changer connected to my surround system.
 
Windows media player is fine for me. I did use winamp for about 5 years a few years back.
 
Haha.

Pretty ,much the same here. As for speakers, I use a couple of older model Sony PC speakers. They're OK, but I feel the speakers that I got with the old Packard Bell computer from the mid '90's do a pretty good job in regards to bass sounds.

When I lived by myself a few years ago, I had it hooked up to a Panasonic bookshelf stereo system with Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound.
 
software: Foobar2000



Hardware: laptop speakers or AKG K701s

 
If we're including hardware I'd just like to add y'can't go wrong with the Logitech 5.1 500w Z5500's :D
 
I use Songbird and just some two channel speakers(click image to see full).

It's about a million times better than iTunes.

And on Logitech X-240

or Everglide S-500 Headphones. (mine are the black ones)

And I really think there should be a poll. With probably WMP, iTunes, Winamp, Foobar, MusicMatch, RealPlayer (shudders) and so on.
 
I use regular old Windows Media Player, and on my desktop I have a cheap (though stylish) 2.1 TRUST sound system.
 
iTunes / iPod / www.kbpi.com

iPod earbud phones / Altec Lansing AVS300 PC speaker/sub set
 
Some sort of program called iTunes that my media player forces me to use.

iTunes

Logitech Z3
Got them for £25 when they were on clearance at work, they were originally £60. 👍

Then every now and then I use my built in iMac speakers.
 
OK...

iTunes is the music library.

It is synchronised by "SmartSync" to an Ubuntu Linux server in the garage, running mt-daapd music server software.

A Roku Soundbridge connects to the music server

The Soundbridge is connected to a Quad 34/306 pre/power amp combination

which is connected to a pair of B&W DM602 S3 speakers

Its awesome. Seriously. And if I use the Soundbridge as the pre-amp, and just connect it to the line in on the Quad power amp, it's jaw-dropping. I'm having to re-rip my entire music collection because 192Kbps isn't really cutting it anymore.
 
Can't go wrong with B&W. 👍
