			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Currently I use iTunes because I have an iPod, unfortunately it&#8217;s a slow, bulky piece of shit for Windows. Does anyone have any other recommendations?<br />Winamp Pro plays and encodes mp3&#8217;s, aac, ogg, and so on. It also has free radio stations and a playlist builder that analyses your music to figure out which songs will go well together. It also syncs with all popular media players, including the iPod.</p>
<p>It costs $20, but to me that&#8217;s a small price to pay for a really good product that I&#8217;ve been using for ten years now. There&#8217;s also a free version if you don&#8217;t want to shell out the cash.<br /><span id="more-146"></span>

<p>And with Jammix Enhancer, you don&#8217;t just get to whip the llama&#8217;s ass, you dominate it. </p>
<p>
Songbird. It looks like iTunes, but without the bulky and the suck, free and open source. There are also tons of add-ons to customize the app, and it supports MP3 players such at iPods<br />won&#8217;t you still have to use itunes to sync the ipod? isn&#8217;t that a pain in the ass?<br />For Windows, I&#8217;m a fan of MediaMonkey.<br />
I .. &quot;acquired&quot; the paid version, and it works well <br />this thread makes me want to install winamp pro again.  I think I&#8217;ll do that tonight.</p>
<p>anybody know if you can sync and setup playlists with a creative zen sleek photo?

<p>It won&#8217;t beat Winamp.<br />I used Winamp many moons ago but switched to iTunes (aside from getting an iPod) because I liked the layout and being able to search</p>
<p>Songbird is the shit, I love it<br />you can search in winamp&#8230;</p>
<p>I think most people don&#8217;t know of 90% of the stuff you can do with winamp</p>
<p>not to mention the fact that you mentioned the layout&#8230; how many skins are there for winamp? 100,000? a million?<br />I used to skin my Winamp, but the new v5.5 skin is a lot more modern than the original layout, and it works really well.</p>
<p>Like CodeX said, Winamp is a <i>very</i> capable program, it just doesn&#8217;t advertise its features very well.<br />Meh&#8230; Who cares about skins as long as the program works&#8230;</p>
<p>I used Itunes when I had an Ipod and it was fine.  I now have a Zune and use the Zune software.  While I&#8217;m not a fan of it, I just load my music and go.  Haven&#8217;t put any new stuff on it in months.

<p>Congratulations, you discovered my sarcasm!</p>
<p>My point is, if he&#8217;s doing anything else that requires focus, then he&#8217;s not actually listening to the music; it&#8217;s just making noise in the background.

<p>People saying winamp are 20 or older I bet, people saying other shit are younger&#8230;</p>
<p>Not that either is a bad thing, just when MP3&#8217;s first came out and napster was the big thing it was winamp or nothing, and I still contend that as far as free media players go it is the most capable, feature rich, customizable, and most importantly mature (as in the code, bug free) program there is

<p>This post makes next to no sense. I also used to use bsplayer, back when it was the shit for when it came to playing movies. I moved on to MPC, and then VLC, and now KMPlayer.</p>
<p>I used to use Winamp, but I learned very quickly that it&#8217;s support for large media libraries and playlists was mediocre at best, and prolonged use would eventually corrupt the files, requiring a complete uninstall, reinstall. So I looked for alternatives, and stumbled upon foobar. I also tried QMP, but it wasn&#8217;t for me.</p>
<p>Would you still use Windows 3.1 for Workgroups, just because it was all or nothing back then?

<p>My point was simply that his argument makes no sense. &quot;The only people recommending new stuff are under 20! They weren&#8217;t here when winamp was the only thing around! Everyone who has used winamp sticks with it!&quot;</p>
