I have dumped Winamp a long time ago for foobar2000 as my main music player. If you are on Windows, I highly recommend you give this software a try. iTunes cannot even hold a candle to it.

Why?

foobar2000 is very extensible and customisable. It uses very little system resources. It can even play a multitude of audio formats that players like Windows Media Player and iTunes cannot support natively (FLAC, for example). It’s very like Winamp though I think winamp is overloaded with a little too much crap these days.

I hear legions of people complaining that it is difficult to move over and that their playlists cannot load etc., especially the iTunes fans who seem to love the player on Windows. It’s very simple to do so and I can help out if you need help.
