"Everytome you install K-Lite, God kills a small, cute, baby bunny."

But on a serious note, I would opt for Combined Community Codec Pack or Shark007's Windows 7 Codecs instead. Or even forget about codecs altogether and just use VLC or SMPlayer.

foobar with DarkOne (http://tedgo.deviantart.com/art/DarkOne-v3-0-1-187628705) interface mode... beat any other audio player

Bleh VLC lags for HD videos as apposed to K-Lite with MPC

I'll stick with my K-lite Mega Codec pack, never liked VLC's UI.

Finally a list of programs that I can identify with...last several lists have seemed rather lacking in the overall quality/usefulness of programs (with only one or two noteworthy programs). This one appears to be much better (although I'd personally choose GIMP over Paint.NET, as it is a solid, free alternative to Photoshop, and is more robust than Paint.NET). Also 3 browsers seem a little bit much for one list, but I don't know anyone that DOESN'T use a browser so I can't say they don't fit the 'Hot App' description...

App = Mobile phone
Application = Desktop, full OS software

Or should I finally accept that they are the very same thing? kind of like when we were ten and we shortened people's names?

PeaZip.
kinda like WinRar, only better. Plus plugins for ace and other archives, plus multi-platform support.

Paint.NET is "ancient" ... ? It's only 6 months older than Firefox!

 

[techseven]

K-Lite Standard edition is the "Stuff" for video...

 

[slyphnier]

Firefox for Android is now final, not just at RC stage.

KMPlayer are the second best after CCCP, as for Codec i dont know why I prefer CCCP than Klite, some problems /w Klite when I watch some HD Jap animes, never /w CCCP VLC aren't recommended, as they occurs lag and have many glitches when I watch my HD Collection.
