I suggest Winamp. WMP 11 was absolutley awful for me. The sound was so bad I could not listen to it (no exagerating...).

Welcome to VB.

I have NO PROBLEMS with WMP 11, or WCE while playing Music or Movies,
but I also have 2GB DDR Memory. Who much Memory do you have.
I also use a program which enhances the DVD Players if I am playing or using them for movies or music.

I have noticed on a FEW older CD's or DVD's that (spin up and down) I can almost always stops this: CLEAN the Player, Clean the CD/DVD.
success rate: about 99.8%. The rest I simply switch to a older slower rated player...

You did not mention whether or not this PC came with Vista already install, that would help us to provide you with a clear solution.

Another thing you may want to do is to upgrade the CD-ROM firmware. Go to the CD-ROM nanufacture website.

This works on XP and/or Vista
