Frodo player and MS Streets or what other Nav systems. Also is there a movie player that supports 5.1 for the DVDs and maybe the new Mp3's ?

WHy don't yuou download all the major frontends and experiment with them to see what you like and what works with the software you want to use?

I have been with this forum for a relatively short time, in the arena of about 6 months or so. I have seen this same question asked about 5 or 6 times now. Which front end should I use? -> Im sure all of them pretty much support all of what your asking. Dont worry Im not flaming or anything, The answer has always been, give all of the different programs a try. There are many extremely good front ends on this forum, all you gotta do is download them, run them in your car(you cant tell how useable each of them are on your home pc), write down a list of stuff you like and dont like about each program, when your all done, go over the list and make your decision. Hope this helps.

Ok i have Road Runner installed and running with Winamp 5.1 surround sound, and also i have Frodoplayer installed and running. Right now i am temporarily in Texas on my laptop. I was thinking of odering my usb GPS recever and was wondering what software GPS works with each and what ones work better with each, i know sometimes some softwares dont interact well together. Also i noticed RR has weather on it but i have not seen to many posts on this any help im going to do a search in a sec but figured id ask whilei washere.

Thank You
