The wise man asks questions. VLC is a music and movie playing doodad. Nick, I can try to answer your questions. ^_^
Quicktime Removing, that probably just removes quicktime. VLC Is super simple to use: Play music and Movies with it lots. Basically just tell it to launch. Then find the piece of music or movie drag it into the open window and hit play. Are you using Windows or something else?
