Not a replacement per se, however, VLC (a free download) is absolutely amazing. It's simple, small, fast, and renders EVERYTHING with the proper codecs (freecodecs.com).

WinAmp is another alternative, but it's bloated.

Nero comes with its own player, but I don't like it.

PowerDVD is another alternative.

For MOV files (Apple), I would recommend QuicktimeAlternative. It's much smaller than Quicktime and much faster. It's also FREE and free of Apple bloat-code.

My friend recommends WinAMP 10th Anniversary edition and Real Player
Rhapsody.

I bought a audio CD and I have no problem running the audio files on the CD
but if I transfer the audio files to the hard drive, Vista Windows Media
Player keeps asking me for a lisence!
