Foobar2000 is a music player that is very lightweight and simple to use when you first install it.
Some people find this perfect as the interface is very clean and you don’t have all kinds of things in the user interface that you will not use anyway.
But others want the music player they use to look more modern, or they want a certain feature to be available.
Most people who first start using foobar2000 don’t know that it also provides these options, and that you can have a music player that is able to beat most others when it comes to looks and options.

If you are looking for a online music player that is finding a lot of artists you might want to take a look at Spool.fm. You may search for and listen to songs even without registration which is a really nice feature. Registration adds more functionality like playlists for instance that can be saved. The Web 2.0 interface is doing everything it can to make searching and using Spool.fm as comfortable as possible. A search is conducted as soon as you enter the first letter of a song title or artist name and you can drag and drop those to and from your playlist.
