FAQ: Which is the best front end!?

**W3bMa5t3r** · 06-15-2006, 08:22 AM

After trying many different frontends I've gone with Road Runner as well. It isn't all that difficult to setup/install and the updates come out quite regularly. I know I'm not mentioning anything new in this post, so I'll just agree that it's easy to skin and there is alot of support from all sides and it handles everything (including embedding apps in my experience) wonderfully

looks like RR is kicking the crap out of other FE's in this poll.

FRODOPLAYER!!!!!!

Is easy to use, it has what i want in a FE, like X Said DB is better also all the modes that you can search you media is SUPER (guys from the florida metting know what I'm talking about

)

I have tried them all and have stuck with Mediacruiser.

Reason being, its easily customisable, not particularily resource hungry and covers my needs for now. ie, GPS, MP3, Movies, External Programs..

My system is fairly low spec, and running a slimmed version of 2K, with 256MB of ram and It gets by well with mc, not so well with others that need xp, sp2, .net etc.

Its just unfortunate that it Media cruiser appears to have been abandoned

Couldn't have said it better myself!! I started with winamp just streched to the limit of my desktop, then i found this vast information mountain...

Started with MediaCar, thought that it was the holly grail of car software.
Then tried Frodoplayer (just didn't like).
Back to MediaCar until I saw the "Holly Grail" being born over a 1 1/2 years ago.

In comes Road Runner, the only choice in my book...

Yes, the most:
Popular, Fairly easy setup for noobs, skins(I think?), customization...ect

Monthly updates with a lot of fixes ontop of new features, more customization to do bla bla...

And its still not even close to being done, will it ever??? NO...

I would like to vote for centrafuse, and Im surprised that more people have not voted for cf, ?

I have tryed road runner, and it just seems too unstable... epecially when using the Milkdrop 3d plugin for winamp, which looks like the dogs boll@ks. Maybee it was just a skin issue.

CENTRAFUSE!!!
