I like Amarok, but I only use it on my Ubuntu or linux machines. On Mac and XP I use Songbird. Songbird - Open Source Music Player I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned earlier in this thread.

I don't like iTunes because it doesn't play .flac and I can't be arsed to convert everything to .alac.

While I like Amarok, it has been about 2 years since they promised windoze and mac versions. They grudgingly put up beta versions of those ports every few months, but every time I try them there is some hassle. Amarok is pretty much my only reason to run linux. I think they know it is one of the few things propping up linux and that is why the ports have been such shameless vaporware. I still use it, grudgingly, its great but I hate being jerked around by them for 2 years of half-assed mac/windoze ports.

Thus, Songbird, installs and runs readily on all platforms, and supports .flac.

The thing I find about Samplitude / Sequoia is that it is totally neutral and does not change the character of the music at all.

What other recording programs have you used that made you want to go with Samplitude?

Foobar via my audio 8 setup (I have traktor scratch pro for DJ'ing in the living room, the 8 channels makes it easy to run foobar through some of the channels I am not using.

My headphone rig is foobar with aiso plugin so it runs out via my digidesign Mbox2, to my Beyerdynamic A1 powering my DT880 headphones 600ohm.

Foobar is really nice and simple, and I love the fact that I have set up the remote that came with my laptop so I can control all the vital playback functions with it. Sometimes convenience is nice, and to me foobar provides that with minimal tweaking.

iTunes and sometimes Foobar2000 when I have my PC up an going
I love the customization of Foobar and REALLY wish there was a direct Mac port for it, but alas
