Best Music Jukebox/Player

[sammyunltd]

Hi! I'm a big fan of MediaMonkey, since I got a big library and that's hard to manage. The only thing, though, is that I don't like its music player. I'd like something a little bit fancier and also less RAM-hungry, if you know what I mean. I don't have a big computer so I can't really afford a lot of programs running simulteaneously.

What is the best music player out there that has a classy interface (a-la iTunes, but screw iTunes because it installs some sh*ts that are not removable) and also that is not too "RAM-hungry" ?!


Thank you!

I love Winamp. The Pro version rips and burns too. Loads of skins plugins etc

I forgot to mention also.... no Winamp. I used it for the last 4 years, and I'm tired of it.

obligatory Foobar rec, since Winamp was ruled out.

iTunes?

Personally I'm looking for a new one too. Don't really want to use WinAmp any longer, don't like WMP for Music, tried FooBar and didn't like it too much although I guess you have to customize it a lot to get it where you want it (or am I thinking of something else). iTunes has its good things and bad.

Anyone have any other recommendations?

I really like Foobar. It just doesn't have the pretty interface that you're looking for.

Foobar can look pretty, if you're willing to customize it (it doesn't look pretty out of the box). You just need to download the right plug-ins.

Foobar has been my player of choice for the last few years.

I know you dont want Winamp, but is that because your using a version of Winamp greater than 2.95? Winamp 3, is dire. Winamp 5 is bloatware. Anything below 2.95 is fine.

As you dont like foobar, and you dont want winamp, and mediaplayer and itunes are too bloatware for you, all I can suggest is REAL PLAYER.... lol. Im joking, im joking.

Its either foobar or winamp pre verion 3 m8. Thats yer choice. Other than those two, its bloatware time.
