Well i only use the following softwares mostly, Winamp for mp3 s and for vidoes mostly K-Lite Mega Codec, other than that i use either Windows Media Player 11 or VLC player but mostly K-Lite Player cuz its simple and fast(reminds me of the Media Player v6, i used to call it the hidden version when i first found it, LOL).....

vlc is a gr8 multimedia player but it has some issues, like it is not gr8 at index management.
for this reason sometimes when u toy with the progress bar, it stops or shows garbled images ( mainly with mpeg1 video or DTS audio).
Try using Kmplayer. it looks like or works like GOM player. but it has more inbuilt codecs and plays DVD video too (GOM doesnt).

I was just kidding.

GOM Player won't slow down computer. And it's interface is really simple.
