Winamp 5.35. I'm not sold on Winamp 5.5 yet.

another vote for foobar2k

functional, universal, plenty of plug-ins, very light

I use itunes. playes itunes files just fine. And so far, it's been my best player. I like fullscreen, winamp is too small. I used musicmatch jukebox for a time, but that became buggy.

My main concern with a large player (over winamp) is resources. But it doesn't seem too bad. I can run it in the background of games such as civ4 and world of warcraft no problem.

WinAmp 5.5. A very fine player. It's unstable when trying to auto-tag, but other than that very good.

See hear sonny. I hear the phonograph is popular with all the young dapper gents and helps in wooing the affections of their lady friends. Why if I had two score pence, I'd pick up the nearest Sears Catalogue and purchase one for myself.

cassette tapes were the ****. They were a nice compact size. I no longer have 8-tracks of course, but I do still have 300+ cassettes.

Sgt. Peppers was my first 8-Track.
