Use winamp. It's just so much better and easier to use plus it has so many useful features and because it is from the company of shoutcast it has an inbuilt shoutcast broswer as well as tv browsers too. You really need to try it out to see just how good it is

I'm sure there are better but I've always used winamp without any problems. Various file types (audio/video) as well as smooth light interface (if you don't choose a retarded skin).

VLC is awesome for video but I've never tried it with audio. But yea if your only problem with winamp is bloat just use it with the classic skin or another lightweight skin and it should be fine, turn off the extra portions and just leave the main player and playlist sections open and you have a tiny little responsive player at your disposal.

Oh and 1800 mp3's? Pfft, lightweights

Yeah I'm using Winamp 5.2 right now for music, and Windows Media Player 10 for videos in general. I don't like much iTunes or Quicktime since they're too heavy... And I'm used to keep Winamp sound playback for hours and hours, while running Photoshop, Firefox, even some games, etc. That's why I was looking for a lightweight player. =p And hehehe these MP3 files are there for a lifetime. Anyway I'll give a shot on Foobar 2000 and VLC to see how do they work here. Nice to see you guys use a big variety of programs... I'd like also recommend Media Player Classic (it's no Microsoft's one, at least not original). Light and pretty good on CODECs (mainly for video). I suppose it's a hacked Windows Media player version 7 with enhanced stuff.

Yeah, you can go with Winamp, it is able top play music and video and is stable with a lot of features or you can use an alternative: Quintessential Media Player, QMP for short, the development version of QCD, you can get it at http://www.quinnware.com it is Freeware and very powerful, full of features and skins.. I think it is stable, don't really have problems with it, it is able to play most of the music and video files.. Just don't be like others and don't uninstall it because you didn't like the default skin

Hehe thats true!!

Thats why I use such an old winamp...it doesnt search my HD on startup etc like most players do to try to index your collection against the index it keeps itself..
The worse offender of all time for this imo is Musicmatch Jukebox..I had an old mp3 player that HAD to use this garbage program to TX mp3s over to the Mp3player;( Jukebox uses this WatchFolders thing where it seems to be scanning your HD every ten mins for changes...thats a big performance hit on a 250 Hd !!!

The best program ive seen for handling huge collections like mine is Traktor but hey I paid hundreds of $ for it and its a proffesional package for Djing..you can store an amazing amount of mp3s and it actually analyses each mp3 you play on it and it writes a tiny text file in its dir with things liek BPM-Pitch-Key-Analysed DB so if u copy that dir..u got all the data on your tunes backed up too...when you start Tracktor it does an check of this dir and works out if youve moved or deleted files and looks for them for you..but once its all set..it can load thousands of mp3 and have them waiting in a que ready to play...truley the best mixing or listening program there is...ever get annoyed that one mp3 is louder than the next on the playlist? Traktor will autogain all your tracks to a specific DB if you like no more diving for the volume as a super loud track kicks in!!
Wanna slow down or speed up tunes? Wanna Play 4 mp3s at once? wanna use effects on all of those mp3s at the same time? wanna record stuff and alter its key/pitch/speed

If people like this Traktor and get into it...Ive been using it since it came out..beta tested different versions and post on the forums a bit..I could make a How To for this site of the basics of using it..

Holy sweet **** I'd love to get my hands on something like traktor... unfortunately I'm broke as can be with tuitions and rent and whatnot Really it's not that insanely expensive right now (seems they have a 60% price reduction for the anniversary or something) but still.. I couldn't spend 100+ bucks on something that plays music heh. I'd rather spend it on an actual decent speaker set since mine is dieing...but I digress.

Traktor does look pretty intense though. Worth checking out for serious audiophiles

I think no one has pointed out MusikCube yet! It's really a great audio library manager. For people who need correct tags for their music like me (and I have 6 songs short of a thousand ) it's a really great library. For tagging I used Picard from MusicBrainz. It's really great, and it gives you the absolutely most correct tags for songs, which is something that I'm obsessive about.

I'm actually using iTunes now instead of MusikCube, even though it is a great piece of software! Much more responsive than the bloated iTunes... and I really can't remember what made me go back to iTunes from MusikCube! Oh well, I must've had a reason.

For me the best media player is Mplayer for linux. It can play all format like VCD, DVD, Ogg, Mp3, MP4 and others. Also you can use Windows *.dll file if Mplayer isnt support the format yet, like WMA!. It has nice GUI and easy to customize.

And for audio only, I use zinf audio player (http://www.zinf.org). It's better alternative to XMMS. I've used long time with my ubuntu machine.

For windows, XMPLAY it's the best audio player I ever used!!. It only take 1,7 MB of RAM (Winamp 8,1 MB of RAM) and no instalation required. Just unzip then PLAY!. It skinable and have alot of feature. For me, the sound output of XMPLAY very clean comparing to Winamp!. And the most important, it's FREE!!.

you can download xmplay at http://www.un4seen.com/
