    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?

    MediaMonkey or VLC.

        I used to use a program called RadLight, but now I find BSPlayer is much nicer! http://www.bsplayer.org/ Christopher

            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.
