Winamp has a perfect GUI with its default setup.

Or you can just download someone else's premade setup.

How does foobar sound compared to windows media player 9 for example? winamp, i have the latest one, doesn't sound as good with mp3s as wmp. all eqs off

So then both players require downloading at least one file to set up properly.

Depends on how you define "proper" in this case. Besides, my setup includes the dll version of the ASIO plugin already.

Since it takes all of five minutes (or less) to do, why don't you go ahead and try it yourself?

For me the best is Itunes. No doubt.

foobar of course

J River Media Center, currently version 11.

Excellent piece of software. My favourite feature is that you can browse your entire collection by album cover art.... so easy to use and customise.

I'll be joining the masses on the F2K boat.

Just got foobar after reading this thread...

f2k sounds solid, I love its customization options too. winamp looks better but sounds a little worse.

Are there any premade skins for foobar2000 like winamp?

Another vote for Foobar2000, although it took many hours to make it work the way I want it too. There are really many things one has to set up before it looks like you want to and has all the convenient features programs like Windows Media Player or ITunes offer right from the start. But if you finally get everything working fine, there is no other player I know that looks as cool and sounds as good (sounds better than others ONLY because of the DSP options and ASIO, nothing else) as Foobar2000. I'm quite happy with my perfectly working and cool looking (inspired by necropimp, thanks guy!) set-up.
