Okay, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but... what program do you use to play music? Windows only, please.

I use wwinamp, and really like it, but I'm sure it'll become outdated soon. I've used windows media player, and find it awkward and, if I don't smile just right, it might even refuse to let me tell it what to do at all.

I've downloaded foobar2000, and think it's a little complicated, but may have to work on learning it.

So, what is your favorite music program, and why?

i use wwinamp and itunes. My wwinamp is really out-dated, i'm still using some version 5.3 or something. I think, as far as playing music is concern, it doesn't matter if it is up-to-date or out dated or such. For playing videos, i usually choose between Ral player and VLC. Again, i refuse to use Windows media player. I used my current window machine for more than 7 or 8 years now, i think i use Windows Media player less than 5 times.

I like Windows Media player, and find it totally accessible via tab or keystroke combinations. Really easy to use, and keeping my library in order is easy.
Next, I like iTunes. Again accessible. It has a few kinks sometimes, but the newer version seems to run pretty smoothly.
I run the scripts, but I also use Jaws. They are not required, but I think I get better function with them.
Rhaphsody. This one requires subscribing, but I enjoy being able to hear a complete new CD and not having to purchase it. I also like hearing a project, complete and this many times brings me to purchasing select tracks for my iPhone.
Requires scripts to use the client, but not the website. I like the client.
Amazon cloud player. Again accessible, but not totally. I like purchasing music from Amazon and having that music handy on any computer I set it. It also syncs to my iPhone, so kind of nice.
Amazon will many times have the better price on a selection.
All but Windows media player allows me to go from any device and have my collection handy. Media player, I have to do more work with it.
I've used Winamp, but not for a really long time.

I love Winamp!
Have been using it since 1998 at least.

Winamp all the way. So many compression and equalization options.
