Best UI is Foobar2000, you can customize it as hell.
My experience with Foobar, is just a bar

Without any library options or whatever, but that could be just me!
Maybe because you didn't know how to make good use of it?



Of course, mine isn't impressive at all.
Just shows basic stuff you can do with foobar.

iTunes for all my music management (whole albums etc.). I know iTunes isn't a great program but it's easier to use with my iPod Touch and it's really not that bad once you get used to it. Works great for me.

Winamp for the odd individual MP3 or to test MP3s I haven't put in iTunes yet.

Youtube, Spotify and Last.fm for random listening.
Exactly what I do. Winamp is not very good for managing a library.

Oh yeah. Lossy VBR MP3 when I can get my hands on it, otherwise at least 192kbps and usually not 320kbps (overkill).

Why is winamp not good for managing a library? I found it the most usefull libraby there is. Just simple and plain.

I use Winamp in classic mode, mostly because I've got some skins I like and it's nice and comfortable. If I were less lazy I might check out some others, but the system requirements are pretty low, and it plays well in the background when I'm gaming. So it suits my needs well.

Oh, and I use 128kb/s compression. The sound is great for most music and it cuts storage space down.

It used to be Foobar then it's grouping methods starting being all wonky for me. (Anyone know a good fix) Plus a vast majority of my family members use my music library for their iPods/iPhones/etc so... iTunes. Yeah.

Usually lossless since I rip a large majority of music from CDs.

Winamp forever, because of simplicity !
I don't care if it doesn't have the best graphical interface, nor if it has the best library management, etc.
I'm all for simplicity and one task per software, I don't like memory consuming software where you will ever use 2% of it's full capacity.

I'm using an audio player to "listen" music, not to "see" it's interface.
Winamp is always minimized.

I'm using explorer, I double click the wanted file, and winamp plays it. The end !
(I can even use plugins which works with other softwares too, like BSplayer (yeah, another boo'ed software, the best for me))
I'm using DFX for enhancing the sound quality, as a dsp addon, it's compatible with BSplayer, great for movie sound too.


Sometime, I'm using Deliplayer to listen to Mod (modules) not compatible with any other softwares.
