I personally switched to foobar2000[1] years ago and never looked back. Some of the big reasons back then were gapless playback and proper unicode support (I have quite a bit of Japanese music in my collection), and the fact that it doesn't do anything unnecessary (like try to be a video player at the same time) - it plays (and manages) music, and does it very well. It has served my music player needs ever since - it's really rock-solid and still actively developed to date (and it's very customizable).

- RexRollman 13y agoOn Linux, I prefer the MPD/ncmpc for music. I love the idea of decoupling the player and the interface. On Windows, it's Foobar2000 all the way.
- prezjordan 13y agoHow do these compare to VLC? Is VLC not actually a good audio player?
- tripzilch 13y agoIt does the job just fine for just about any format, but playlist management in VLC is pretty awful, IMO. edit: I'm using WinAmp for my MP3s, but I might take a look at foobar2000 as well
