I think I tried foobar. Is that the one that looks like a dos window.
I like how WMP downloads the covers and all the album information. Did I mention the mini bar. And the Media Library, OMG, it doesnt get any better, does it?
Give me a compeling reason to switch to something else and Ill buy it tonight.

Yes, I've got a 512 stick in this one, but that's not the point. I don't want hoggy applications. Especially when loading something like Photoshop... there's 100MB of RAM right there just when it's idle; load up some hi-rez images, and you're looking at 200MB at least.
FB2K=DOS window? Eh? DOS didn't have a GUI. It was also the best OS that M$ ever came out with, but that's beside the point... (really, though, look at it. Full root access, never crashed, never gave you permissions errors; it was wonderful) Here's a screenshot of it running on my desktop. You tell me how it looks like DOS. Or how it's not the most beautiful, functional player you've ever seen
And yes, I admit, I kinda like WMP's ability to show you artists bio and whatnot, but you could make the same sort of thing with Foobar if you felt like it. It has a developers kit. Or who knows, perhaps someone
already has...
Oh, and note the VU meter. With WMP, you have to have a fairly large window to get visualizations. And they all suck anyway. Heck, if I want, I can get an OSD plugin that overlays text everytime the track changes, and can tell me the artist name/album name/track name/track length/playlist time remaining, or anything else I want. I can just have FB2K minimized.
