Zune Software

Another vote for Songbird.

Oo.. I do like Songbird too, but it's been a loooonng time since I last used it, I just left it was getting a bit sluggish on my antiquated work PC.

I've just started playing with Songbird, seems pretty cool, was finding the interface on Winamp a bit meh of late.

Another Foobar user here, might give Songbird a whirl though.

I use Winamp, it plays everything, and with DFX sounds great, i have mostly Flac though

Foobar w/a bit-perfect output plugin.

iTunes.

Used to love winamp but as usual it became more than just a media player and ended up being a pile of horse muck. Then went to itunes due to getting a iphone 3g, after 6 months itunes was taken off as its the worst thing ever to go on my PC afer black ops and more or less have a iphone for no reason whatsoever. Foobar was a pain to set up, media monkey is going the same way as winamp.

Songbird and WMP are my choice atm.

Foobar + a few plugins.

Yonathan · 10 Aug 2011 at 06:50

Foobar for me.

This.

It's a shame there's no OSX port really, it's once of the main programs I miss when I'm on my laptop.

I used to always use iTunes, but got fed up a few months back of an update every 3 minutes which made it slower and slower and hog tons of memory. Switched to Foobar and never looked back

iTunes because of my ipod and Foobar for FLAC

Razor-BladE · 10 Aug 2011 at 23:13

I use iTunes because that's all I've ever used. Don't see the need to use anything else.. it plays music and has playlists, good enough for me.

Was wondering what foobar skin that was, though Google's new image search saved the day! http://br3tt.deviantart.com/gallery/29497701#/d41l5mf

I use Winamp but I have found it to become a bit bloated over the years.
