    What software for your HTPC?

    Just wondering what you guys use for your HTPCs, I mostly just use the ATI Multimedia Center and PowerDVD for my recording and viewing.

    PowerDVD and Windows Media Player.

    Pretty much all that I need.

    I use Zoomplayer Pro with the Sonic decoder pack for my DVD viewing and sometimes music. I mainly use Winamp for my audio stuff. (Milkdrop is quite a thing to hehold on a 9ft screen :-)Both these programs integrate perfectly with my Firefly remote.

    I'm using Showshifter right now which I've had good luck with. It's got a lot of plug-ins including MAME and is very solid. I may switch to something else (BeyondTV) when I go to three tuners.
