I used Winamp years ago. It's gotten pretty bloated lately from what I remember. It's also a bit more resource heavy than what I like since I'm not running a full size computer rig. Foobar2000, for me, is a no frills visually, great sounding music player that handles any audio file I've ever thrown at it. However, while MediaMonkey is decent, I think J. River Media Player (the free download) version, without ASIO or anything similar, sounded all around better with my setup. Same general layout as MM, better sound (to me), than Foobar2000. The thing that really turned me off J. River MP was that, when I started it up, it would need about 45 seconds of "i'm starting up, and doing something, that you the user has no idea of" thing. I don't like waiting. So, I'm back to Foobar2000. Now if only I could get a 800x480 res. skin/theme for it, to use with my Asus Eee PC 701 + touch screen, I'd be a mighty happy camper.
