Fantastic post, javajones!
It's curious, I'm a bit like you. I am a bs-player user for many years now. I stopped updating it as soon as it became spyware-supported.
But, truth is i don't need to update it, as it preforms very well for what i need!
There simply isn't any player better for divx video (on avi) with subtitles. It handles subtitles like no other player, the only thing you need to do is drag and drop the subtitles on to the player and it's working. Even my sister that is completelly computer-iliterate can use it with no problems.
It can adjust subtitle delay with ease, just press ctrl+left/right while viewing the movie.
Also, bsplayer just feels right. when fast forwarding through a divx movie, it's lean, not like zoom player which goes jumping a bunch of seconds the whole way through.
Also, like you mentioned, the aspect relation is just sooo simple. Just press O and it's adjusted.
The pre-configured keyboard shortcuts also make much sense (i mean, isn't 'f' for fullscreen waaay better than alt+enter?)
Nevertheless, i use zoom player, only because it's versatile for all the other formats. For wmv I keep wmp, but for .mov and real formats i don't install any other player (quicktime is most probably the worst player ever, who whould think of having to pay for a player to be able to see a movie in full-screen????).
I also agree with you, there's no better audio player than winamp. Although i've already tried a bunch of them (most probably every single one out there), i never managed to get along and always went back to the old and cool winamp
Ps: something good was kept from wa3, ever seen the
Winamp 3 default skin? It's the one i use
