Best Music Player?

[Strider]

So I decided to see what everyone's favorite music player is. Note that I said Music Player.. not media player. Although I am counting popular media players that can play music. However plain movie players like Quicktime and Miro are not included for obvious reasons.

Vote Away

You're missing foobar2000 and musikCube. As such, I shant vote.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Winamp for me.

Not that I play music much on my PC...

 

[vbraun]

I prefer foobar2000 in Windows, and Quod Libet in Linux.

I would like a player that has a highly customizable random setting.

You don't even have VLC Media Player on the list...

 

[GVBN]

MusikCube has everything I need

You don't even have VLC Media Player on the list...

VLC is a media player

 

[kcwong]

VLC is a media player

Then why is Windows Media Player an option?

 

[classical_hero]

Even Winamp plays videos on it.

 

[t0mme]

MediaMonkey for its simple and functional interface and its compatibility with my Creative Zen Vision:M

 

[azzaman333]

Windows Media Player does what I need it to.

 

[Methos]

iTunes, but that's due to our ipod and iphone.

 

[Mirc]

Of those here, I almost always use Windows Media Player and sometimes iTunes.

I hate Winamp with a passion. I don't like anything about it. It is slower, less nice (and yes, I know about the skins) and has AFAIAC (as far as I am concerned) less options (so don't tell me it has whatever options the other one doesn't, I just mean everything I usually do is much easier and nicer in WMP and some features are even missing).

I almost exclusively use winamp

I run Linux and I am still trying to sort out which music player to use. The big problem for me is I am stuck with on-board sound so far because my X-Fi card is not supported. Of those listed, I have played with Amarok, Rythumbox, and Audacious. I like the skinable part of Audacious although I haven't really learned how yet. People keep telling me about Songbird, but I haven't tried it yet. Also, you didn't mention Exaile. Ubuntu users rave about Exaile, but I don't see it as being any better than Amarok.

Amarok is what I am currently using.

I can't vote because foobar2000 isn't an option. It's clearly the best I've ever used.

 

[Zelig]

foobar2000, I love it.

I'll use Winamp sometimes when I want to just play something while foobar is paused.

 

[Godwynn]

I'm a big fan of Winamp.

 

[Pentium]

AmaroK all the way. It's collection management is the best I've ever seen, combined with ease of use and controlling from from systray. It even interacts with Katapult, meaning you can press Alt+Space, then type a name of a song, and amaroK will play it.

On Windows, I only Winamp, as I've heard of major security issues with WMP.

 

[OozingSlime]

I vote Winamp, but the poll is bad, because it mixes Win and Linux which are mutually exclusive. And so on Linux, while I used it, I liked Amarok.

 

[El Koeno]

Foobar2000 is just amazing. It took me some time to get into it, but I love it now.
