I personally think foobar2000's fairly excellent. Flexible as hell, both in UI and in functionality. Quick and doesn't feel bulky at all. It's honestly the piece of software I miss most when I'm on my Linux install.
Yeah, I miss foobar2k too in Linux. I usually use Exaile.
Winamp’s woes: how the greatest MP3 player undid itself (2012)

#12I guess I am the only person in the world still using Winamp. Just feels odd when I listen to mp3s and can't look up the ID3 tags with alt-3. And I never felt the need for a 'library', 'database' or huge spaceship cockpit UIs either.
(Any player that fully supports Winamp plugins would be an adequate replacement, but I'm also happy with Winamp in general)

#13God says...
sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
24:23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
24:25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

Winamp still kicks the crap out of every current music player.

P.S. Yes. It has been getting bloated, but people have been complaining about iTunes since day 1.

My primary reason for staying on Winamp is that most of the plugins for playing video game console music formats (NSF, PSF, GSF, 2SF, USF, VGZ, KSS, SPC, and others) are written for Winamp. I've found a few programs that play a few of the formats, but Winamp is the only one that plays them all. (Any player that fully supports Winamp plugins would be an adequate replacement, but I'm also happy with Winamp in general)
It also supports some other Amiga formats, you can find it at http://www.rift.dk/page.php?1

How is it better than iTunes? I'm seriously asking. I'm always hearing people bitch about iTunes, but they never explain why. P.S. Yes. It has been getting bloated, but people have been complaining about iTunes since day 1.
Also, yes, the bloat and the constant updates to support the bloat.

#20I've never understood why media players in particular feel they have carte blanche to completely ignore any attempt at integrating with the system look and feel. I never really got along with WinAMP due in no small part to that.
