I have VLC, but ever since I got on to JRiver, I've seen no reason to go back. It does SOOOO much to make your experience more enjoyable. Doesn't bother you about what format a particular file is, scours the net for metadata. Gorgeous interface. Hovering over files gives you, if you have a TV show episode on the PC, it gives you a screen cap of the ep, a plot synopsis for that ep, the initial air date, the date that ep was recorded, etc. Integrates well with UIs too. Particularly that you can use your mouse scroll wheel dynamically to skip back or forward by 5 secs with a single scroll click, or FF through all commercials with a couple of flings of the finger [once you get used it it, it's amazing how irritating it is that all programs don't do that].
