What is the best software mp3 player?

[Ctn]

What software mp3 players do you guys use for sound quality?

I currently use jet audio.

Are there better ones?

I'm partial to Foobar2000 with kernel streaming.

Foobar kicks ass. For playing my mp3s, I've mucked around with Winamp (3 and 2.81), Musicmatch, even WMP, but they don't have a chance against the simplicity, options, and pure speed of Foobar.

Why don't you try it yourself and see?
Foobar is freeware.

IMHO, yes. I hate skinning and all that garbage, I just want to play music.

i havent used jet audio since... 1999 i think?

i stopped when i found out it used soooo much more cpu % than winamp

I use CoolPlayer with CoolWave mapper enabled. I think it provides the best sound.

Foobar seems harsh in comparison.

I'm really tempted though, as foobar has the crossfeed plugin.
