Music Player (Software)

What do you use? And why? Hardware one coming up later...

I use Windows Media Player, cause it has some nice features, good playlist manipulation, and it's not resource intensive. I also like Foobar2k and Winamp, but I don't like Winamp's interface, and Foobar2k is going to have default columns and themes in the next version and that's a piece of junk so I ditched it.

where's RealPlayer?

I use it because of "PerfectPlay" function! It records what is played and you've got direct access to it, rev, fwd and so on ;)

I used to use Winamp but I was not happy with it. I just did not like their interface and I had constant problems with streaming. I used Musicmatch for a while but I switched to WindowsMediaPlayer because of the "speed adjust" feature

The library is very organized as well.

Quintessential Player is a nice one,I had it when I was still running Windows and it did work pretty ok very nice alternative to Winamp and WMP
wish they could sort out a version for linux I would use it again! ;)

QCD Player
