I had been using the old winamp for a while now but just started hearing about this foobar2k player. What are you using and which way should we go?

Never heard of the foobar2k player. I don't know, I stick with the classics. I either use iTunes of WinAmp for all my computer mp3 playing needs. If it works, why fix it?

I have seen the foobar player advertised but seem to use the old windows media player for everything these days.

So what about Real Player? I guess no one is using that? I have winamp too I think, but it always seem to open with the Real Player one that also seems to be littered with ads and such. I need to do something about this I think.

I'm old school and still running Winamp 5.0 I like the skins that it has...And like Seraphim said "if it works, why fix it"?
As for personal mp3 players, I'm a die-hard anti-iPod kind of guy...There are so many other players out there now that I knew would eventually be available that can do everything the iPod can - less the hype and trendiness...I use a 1g Sansa by Sandisk...I can upload & view pictures with it, play music, upload mp3's with every single computer software out there, and Apple hasn't made a dime off of me yet...
Now please don't get me wrong, the iPod and Apple's players are all very nice machines...I just can't stand to pay double what I would for a lesser known brand of player that can do everything an iPod can :)

Look at Dan, already trying to start a debate ;)
I use Media Monkey... which I think uses Winamp as its player, now that I think about it. Heh. I heart Winamp, always have. It's good to me.

While I love our family iPod, which is almost always with me (ha!), I agree that for what it does, it's overpriced and you're just paying for the iPod name; there are dozens of mp3/media players out there now that are just as good. If I say that, why then did we go for the iPod instead of one of those other many mp3/media players? Good question. It's just pretty. Heh.
I'm with Dan, I still run an old version of WinAmp for the simple fact that it loads quickly and has nice skins. iTunes is a resource hog for the most part.
Oh yeah and, Hi Dan!
