winamp.
Don't know why some find it slow.
I launch winamp in less than 1 second on my vista pc. Very fast, superb interface (bento) and great asio / flac support.

I use both WinAmp and Foobar 9.5 in my Vista Machine

OK, I installed foobar2000 0.9.5.1 and it looks promising so far. I'll be using it stricly for FLAC's, so what settings should I use for playback with Auzen X-FI Prelude?
I'm using Prelude in audio creation mode, 44.1KHz 16bit + bit perfect.

I was using foobar2000 for the last couple of years, but I recently switched to Winamp. I can't hear any difference in sound quality between the two, but I like the default Winamp interface a lot better (with the new bento skin). It's so much work to have a nice interface in foobar2k.

Ok, using foobar2000 0.9.5.1 + ASIO. Replaygain source mode is set to album & prevent clipping according to peak and no DSP plugins. Sounds pretty good so far.

Sorry to dredge this up again, but does anyone know if the same recommendations would apply to an XP Pro 64bit (x64) user? I'm suddenly needing/wanting to play FLAC and have no idea where to start.

I think you could change the title of this thread to "for XP 64-bit?" and you'd get the same replies. I dont think it makes much difference. There arent THAT many options out there, but I think foobar is the best in its class, and winamp is probably the best in its class. Foobar being feature rich and winamp being user friendly. Just my 2cents.

+1 for Foobar. Takes a while for you to completely tweak it out though...

I'm using J River Media Center on Vista 64-bit. I used it to rip my CDs to FLAC, and it can transcode them to MP3s to my portable players on the fly. Free trial, and a license allows legal install on several systems.
