For videos, I'm pretty settled on VLC being awesome but what does everyone use for listening to music? I've been a winamp user for years now, but seeing as I'm formatting it's as good a time as any to try out a new one. I like the library feature in winamp so having one of those is pretty vital. Anyone got any suggestions? What do you all use?

Foobar2000 is nice if you can be bothered to get into the diabolical amount of customisation. If you have some weird need in terms of organisation, Foobar2000 can probably do it.
I use musikcube at work. Lightweight and works well enough.

Don't use iTunes is my advice. I'd stick with winamp, I'm moving over to it tonight as I've had it up to the balls with iProducts...

Yeah only trouble I've had with winamp is some music files don't seem to work with it (ones that work with windows media player). I'm mainly just making sure I haven't been missing out on some cool new player  |

i've been using winamp for years now after windows media player 11 came out and became really rubbish and unusable
don't think there has really been any developments in the media player department except windows media player classic is much better for movie files than winamp and i prefer the ui over vlc

I use Itunes because I have some ipods. Not really happy with it, but what else can I do, it ain't so bad after all.
At least I can manage and listen to my music and don't have to use several programs. But I am scared to put all of my music into the itunes library (~150gb), I am not sure if it can handle it.
But if you don't have Ipods use something else.

I've got everything in my iTunes library (150gig+) and it runs like a fat man up a flight of stairs...I literally can't do anything other then light browsing with iTunes open as it just causes everything else to slow down. I've done some cursary looking around and aparently you can use winamp to manage your iPods. Will post links when I get home/find some shit that works  . |

I use Media Monkey, used winamp for years until I found out about it. It's basically a more up to date winamp. It's based on the winamp engine but has a much nicer user interface. Also Ringel you can use winamp or media monkey for ipods you don't have to use itunes.

Used to use a creative zen vision, which was awesome but the capacity was too small at 30GB and the new mp3 players they make aren't as good. Now I just use my phone as I don't have as much need for an mp3 player as I used to so when my zen broke (not a fault with the device, dropped it and stepped on it many times over the years) I didn't see the need to invest in a new mp3 player. Sadly Apple seem to be the only people making decent capacity mp3 players at the moment but they don't support flac making them pointless anyway.

Yeah, I'd need at least 100gig, and the only thing close to that I can find is...another iPod...
I'll wait until the market moves back to mass storage rather then all this super hi-def LCD touch-screen bollocks.

If you use Media Monkey you need to make sure you have quicktime installed as it uses the drivers from quicktime to play some files.
