you can (sort of) and thats what I've done
Generally I use itunes and qt lite + the itunes add-on . This actually makes itunes run smoother on my rigs (vista x64, 4gb, x2 etc) and haven't had any issues with the latest versions of all apps
I'm also use wmp11 depending on my mood and where my music is at that moment.

Same here.
iTunes, but a bit grudingly.
The media library (ie. list view + browser) is the best way i've found to view and play my music. Period.
It also leaves my files alone (if you've ever had problems with this, you need to change prefences) but has the advantage of changing the ID3 tag when you make an edit which means the changes stay no-matter where you play the file.
The reason why I have to grit my teeth a bit is because Apple have turned it into more than just iTunes which makes it bloated and sluggish. On Windows it also runs a load of things as services (Bonjour, iTunesHelper, iPodService, MobileDevice) without asking you if you want Bonjour or if you own an iPhone.
Oh, and Coverflow is one of the most useless things ever.

Winamp for me
Despite all the negative comments from many people about itunes, I tried it out. It was worse than I could possibly have imagined.
I guess the best thing I can say is that it just about manages to do what you need it to - but it does it in the most horribly irritating and least efficient way possible. Anything I wanted to do seemed to be unnecessarily convoluted.

Windows Media Player 11 mainly, and MediaMonkey when I'm sorting out my iPod Touch (after iTunes ruins my album artwork).

Itunes here.
I've tried Winamp, but i just prefer itunes look and feel. Plus I buy singles of songs I hear on the radio as and when I want, without having to wait for the CD to arrive.
Oh and I can sync my Ipod touch with it too!

I use a program called Media Monkey

Im Anti-Itunes so started using it just for the fact that it wasn't itunes and found i liked it
