what player do you guys use on your PC?

[hew]

WMP because I am too lazy to figure out and properly set up Foobar.

I've used pretty much all of them but the only one I always fall back on is foobar because it is very customizable to how I want it to be and supports lots of plugins. Winamp I find best for radio stations though and some other media types like .flv. For ripping I like to use WMP.

 

[GreatDane]

Foobar
Media Monkey
iTunes

 

[obobskivich]

Creative MediaSource 5 series

have yet to find anything better, hate iTunes (hate Apple software in general), wasn't overly impressed by Foobar to justify the nightmare, BeoPlayer was fun, but top heavy, WMP is good, I just don't like the UI (top heavy), Winamp is too primative, MMJB is too advertising oriented, and olympus' solution is too purple

Foobar here too.

 

[ivanrocks321]

itunes for me

 

[TopPop]

Winamp, but really only because it's the only player I could get to work with cellphone control of the library over a Bluetooth connection... otherwise I'd probably be using Foobar2000.

 

[Taikero]

foobar2000 or AIMP 2 for playback. Winamp for playlist management (has a few things that make playlist management easier in some cases), MediaMonkey for file management.

Oh yeah, when I was playing just mp3s (before I got into FLACs) I used OtsJuke (now OtsDJ or OtsAV or something). It's not free, but it's awesome. I wish it supported FLAC, I'd dump f2k and go back. Wonderful crossfading between songs, beatmatching, scheduling. Does anyone know of any beatmatching plug-ins for foobar2000? Intelligent crossfading plug-ins (something that's customized to how the current sound is ending and the next song starts)? That would be awesome.

Foobar beats all the others on a PC, IMHO - especially the newer version. A couple of years ago it was still kind of a kludge, but not the newer version with the re-configured layout.

Foobar for lossless and headphone listening.

iTunes for lossy and speaker listening.

 

[MikoLayer]

I can't imagine being stuck to a player that only sorts by tags or has a singular playlist.

btw, does foobar support syncronization to ipod?
