Second that. Foobar works great.

Well, since foobar seems to get all the attention, I'll cast my vote on winamp. Works great, no fuss, great "build quality".

My vote goes to foobar2000 as well.

Some people complain winamp is bloated ever since AOL bought it, but on the flip side, i personally think foobar is a bit of a learning curve if you want it JUST right. I use itunes for my "library" but I use foobar for actual file association because its very quick to open and if i want to listen to a single song, I dont feel like waiting for winamp or itunes to start up. itunes does not support flac.

That is true. I still use a untweaked Foobar on my old HTPC when I want to listen to a song or two, since it's so fast and simple.

+1 for JRiver.

I used to use Foobar but don't want all the work associated with making the interface as usable as JRiver.

I use foobar2000 the best part of it for me was having sexy looking low memory player.

The new interface included since 0.9.5 has made foobar infinitely easier to get into a working interface. If you are exceptionally impatient (I know I am

), there are premade interface themes posted around the internet.

Adding foo_facets.dll to the componnents makes the overall experience more traditional, and doesn't require as much playlist tweaking from the get-go.

I've been using foobar for years, and I am not in the least bit upset that I no longer need columns/panels ui anymore.
