I am having problems with Windows Media Player. An HP tech support told me to download VLC. I did and I have used it for .DVD files and watching DVD's , which is great. The problem is that I like the comprehensible way WMP shows the album art and details, and can download this info quite easily. VLC does not seem to have this option... does it? Is there a download? Do skin's have this option? And also, which skin is the most comprehensive? I need a different player, if for no other reason than my Bluetooth speaker won't work right with WMP. Is there a better player than VLC?

What's the error with Windows Media Player?
Most light players forego the fluff to boost performance.

There was no error message, just Bluetooth froze everything up. I don't have that problem listening to Pandora, just WMP . I Just downloaded Winamp because a friend said he uses it. It froze up too, first time. I am foolish and tried it again, no problem the second time... can my laptop "get accustomed" to the player working with the Bluetooth device, or is it always going to be a problem? I know WMP doesn't even acknowledge the device now.

We're all foolish. I keep using Firefox even though it closes out of the blue here and there.
I think your problem is bluetooth itself, not the programs.

I have since discovered that the problem was not the players, it is apparently a common problem with Windows 8 that Bluetooth does not work. I found a fix and it seems OK now. For anyone interested, the driver fix is at this site: http://www.reviversoft.com/blog/2013/03/fixing-bluetooth-in-windows-8/
