What's your favourite audio player?

For me it is Foobar2000 w/ the noise sharpening DSP

iTunes, but of late I'm a Linux geek, so I'll say that Rhythmbox is pretty nifty.

WinAmp

Just get an old version, they are much, much better than the new ones IMO (same thing with WMP). I have version 3 or 4 or something and it works great!

Windows XD
I used to use Winamp but I don't anymore, it started to crash suddenly and all... *sigh*

I like iTunes organization + its search and etc... and its Smart playlist.

Both. I'd use it on Linux if there were a native port (no, I have no desire to deal with emulation just for a music player).

WMP, but only because I'm too lazy to get anything else, and the media library kicks ass; on linux it's xmms+mplayer all the way

Does anybody actually like xmms?
I really like Rhythmbox, but Enlightenment DR17 is coming and I'm not sure if RB will work without Gnome running.

XMMS users may wish to try the Beep Media Player. It's basically XMMS linked against GTK2.x rather than 1.x.

In close second and third respectively I'd have to vote for my piano and my guitar.

I tried Beep, but I found that it lacked suck crutial features as "play this directory", dunno if it was just that I couldn't find it or what, or it might just have been my build. And yeah, I like xmms; it's small, fast, and does everythign i want (except it doesn't have a media library).
