    Mine used to be winamp, but I have recently switched over to Windows Media player 11. Allot of cool features and it actually works really well compared to winamp. I use Media Monkey to manage and change my collection.

    I did the opposite. I was using WMP (why comes installed in Windows - how convenient;P). But once I ripped one CD, and how WMP have not found on-line info about the tracks, I renamed the files and id3 tags by hand. Some time after, I backed to folder to check my files and... WMP renamed all to track1, track2, track3... I think that WMP looked on-line for the tracks info, it not found and renamed all to default names... :mad: So I have backed to Winamp, that too is faster than WMP, beautiful, free, small, and more important: it give me another reason to talk bad against MS :->.

      In the past week I've tried many different free audio players - from iTunes to Winamp to MusicCubeOne - and the one I keep coming back to is VUPlayer. It obviously doesn't have the features of iTunes, but its memory footprint is the smallest of any of the ones I tried - less than 10Mb, compared with ~30Mb for iTunes and ~20Mb for WMP (when playing). It doesn't have the slickest UI, but its UI is functional, and it also supports music lookup via freedb server (which I could never get to work in Winamp). The only thing I don't like about VUPlayer is that it doesn't fully support multiple monitors - if you move it to the second monitor and then exit, it will pop up on the first monitor when you restart it. What's your favorite audio player?

                WMP11 it came with Vista it works fine and I'm more interested in listening to tunes than frittering around with options and features.

                  Can't believe I'm the first to say Foobar... Foobar for my regular music collection, winamp for quick dirty playback for files that I don't want to drag into my foobar playlists.

                        It has to be JetAudio for me. Simple, and it doesn't take up much room on your screen in the compact mode :)

                            I use Foobar2000 for general music playback. I only load up iTunes to put stuff on my iPod, though if FB wasn't around I'd probably use it for playback as well, I find it less annoying than WMP.

                                I am impressed! One of the prettiest players I've seen, and less than 5Mb footprint.

                                    I second the recommendation for foobar2000[^]. I used to use Winamp for visualizations, but now that there is a MilkDrop plugin for foobar, I no longer use Winamp.
