thanks op may actually be the first program to get me to stop using WMP, well after a few improvements
itunes is by far the worst ive used, absolutly hate that with a passion
foobar - found it too complicated, its skinning was beyond me and i didnt like the look
WMP, - havent found a player like more than 11, for me the interface is near perfect for finding and organising
Songbird, - has a very nice GUI, like wmp, and is more customizable just beggining to explore its addons, needs a good album view tho! and a few bugs need sorting [ie speed] before it displaces WMP but i can see it
yet again mozilla impresses, i already love firefox and thunderbird, and this is close to becoming my default music player!
