Have only used Winamp until this point, but after these posts, will be downloading foob2k tonight 

iTunes FTW, best organization, and it works with my iphone.
As far as audio quality is concerned, lossless is lossless....
Personally I find Mediamonkey gross to look at and hard to manage

I downloaded both Foobar, as well as MediaMonkey when I realized I could not send 24/96 HDTracks flac downloads to my iTunes library. Since Foorbar appeared easier to master I gave more attention to it. But, because I have such an affinity for iTunes, I also downloaded DBpoweramp, using it to convert flac to alac. I discovered DBpoweramp is good for finding art too. I'm happy with all outcomes: Foobar, DBpoweramp, 24/96, iTunes, and alac although, not using all of this stuff everyday, I cannot navigate as painlessly as I would like. I have saved the flac downloads and on occasion I have compared them from Foobar with alac conversions played with iTunes. Using an external sound card (Sound Blaster X-FI HD) to convert USB to S/PDIF for pickup at my control amps DAC I perceive that the tunes played from Foobar sound better; however, the folks at Foobar tell me all media players sound the same. At any rate, music has never sounded better to me than right now. I'm happy with it all, the quality sound and convenience. Only thing I wish for is that BD audio takes off as listening to Diana Krall in Dolby Digital vs. stereo is no contest. Dolby Digital is just awesome.
