foobar, because of a plugin “quicksearch toolbar” that can even search in the folder name and filename (I can’t tag automatically since it’s mostly jpop, so I won’t bother to tag).

In windows, up until recently winamp was the golden standard.
however, as of late, the player is buggy as hell.

My default audio player is AIMP2. Light, simple, and beautiful; I love it cuz can hide it in the system tray, and still skip tracks and control volume. Testing Songbird and Floola, cuz iTunes ate a lot of space, just to transfer files to my iPod.

My video player is the simple, very light and versatil GOM Player. It’s just perfect.

Regards.

xmplay for just pure audio, no frills.

Winamp, but definitely an older version. I’m not on the laptop at the moment, but it’s definitely beyond 2.x and below 5.x so maybe around 3? It’s before they added all the bells and whistles to make it a ‘media’ manager. Am going to read your review of Amarok later though because I do wonder about alternatives ^^

Hey man, too late, but my choice is XMPlay: ultralight, standalone, very simple use, fast open, modular plugins, extra audio HQ. Yeah, i love it!

My choice is MediaMonkey and my reasons are:

1. Low system resources
2. User friendly
3. Good interface
4. Great library options
5. Impressive tagging and audio files management options.

at home: mediamonkey. so good I even paid for it. - Lighter than most (especially iTunes)
- un-bloated
- excellent library management even for very large sizes
- neat interface
- flexible ripping solution
- works just well with my zen stone plus

at work: amarok (on Kubuntu)
- does most of what I need there correctly.
- I’ve met some really strange bugs though, but they happen very rarely.

But polls have very few options, this is most interesting and then please make an article analyzing all.

Foobar2000. Small, clean and fast - but can play almost any format.

With this many comments, maybe you should just make a poll

After trying Winamp 2.8 through the current version, iTunes, Foobar2000, Media Monkey, Windows Media Player, VLC, and Media Player Classic, I have settled on XMPlay for my audio needs.

Windows:
foobar2000 (for albums and like, playing from library) + xmplayer (for single files, through file association)

Winamp 5 with classic skin. Pretty lightweight, fast, and media library that rocks all other media players.

I use Winamp 2.95 with a very clean skin, after all its for listening to music, its always minimized in the system tray as a set of buttons to play and advance songs, so who wants a super duper coolgy bungy shinyskin?
Then i use media player classic with klite codec pack for video. I like VLC and bsplayer too but i find media player classic its better, more configurable, i love it cause it starts centered on the screen, what i dont like its the poor playlist it has
sorry im not an english native speaker!
