Winamp is dying according to an article I read. Something about how only 3 Nullsoft employees are left or something.

WTF is a sea pole?

Whale organ?

Anyway, foobar2k easily. Used winamp for years, but recently switched. It's no one thing (although the masstagger is sweet, edit tags without even opening k-mp3 or tagscanner :)), but more that it does a lot of little things better, and isn't bloaty or slow to load.

Except for the wicked sound quality.

The sound quality for various MP3 programs varies?? Wouldn't the sound qaulity rely on the actual sound file, and the hardware used?
