Best .mp3 player?


Question

So I recently reformatted because my computer is archaic specs wise and I wanted a fresh start.

What do you guys use for .mp3 players that have easy to create playlist options and decent customization?

I do prefer a relatively minimalist look. Less is more in my opinion.

In the past I have played with and used Winamp. What else is out there?

Almost every media player supports that function. WMP12 supports it, Zune supports it, Foobar does as well. I'm not sure about iTunes though, as I haven't bothered to check its' features since v9.

Foobar with the SubjectBeauty skin

Foobar looks pretty cool. I'm definitely going to have to try it out. I see you have multiple playlists in that screenshot. Those are tabs that you can switch between at any time? If so, that would make me want to use Foobar. That's what Winamp is really missing.

Yeah, foobar has playlist tabs that you can switch to at any time.

I use Clementine, simply because I still haven't found anything close to Exaile in terms of user interface on Windows (both are 'continuation' of Amarok 1.x, but only Clementine offers Mac and Windows builds along with Linux ones).

Why do your guys are still using mp3's? I started to convert my music library from mp3 to eAAC+, imagine a 24kbps song sounding the same as 192kbps mp3. To me it's perfect and I can put a lot on my iPod touch. A whole album (1h15 approx) is about 10-15 megabytes total. I discovered the eAAC+ from radio streams, I was stunned by the quality

eAAC+

You're cool

Check out Billy.This as light as you can go. Billy

I remember Billy, used to use it a lot back in the day. Seems there's an "updated" version (2008). Will try it.

6MB of what? RAM? :laugh:

Oh man. Imagine if it was possible to build a machine like that. Is there a version of DOS that is capable of multi-threading? :shifty:

Edited before I get warned for some dumb reason. :blink:

I'd go with Zune. It has one of the most minimalistic designs you can think of. Plus, you can take your playlists and media from another service like iTunes and import them. It's for Windows only.

I use both foobar & mediamonkey .

And occasionally winamp.

Foobar for simplicity, the tabbed playlist, customizations, I love to be able to run a chain of vst, wasapi support.

Mediamonkey because it's much easier to browse a huge library of albums, and to tag it. Also mediamonkey has nice scripts, like "last fm node" which allows to gather stats from last.fm and create a "kind of radio" by playing similar tracks.

Winamp, occasionally, for chip tunes, or streaming tv online; in fact I don't remind why exactly I've installed winamp. I don't need really winamp.

I don't like the interface of VLC , I use it for video only.

I would use Foobar if i didn't already have VLC, but since VLC plays everything and is very minimal, i don't need two programs to play mp3's...

It depends on whether you want plain (or fancy) MP3 playback - or not. For plain playback, I use VLC. For fancier playback, I use MediaSource 5 (and the included EAX Environments, which, contrary to belief, works just fine in Vista or 7, even the x64 iterations).
