What is your favorite media player application for your progressive collection?  I seem to always return to to iTunes, but I have spent time with winamp and foobar 2000.  Winamp used to be a small application, but it is now about the same as iTunes.

Winamp. I have a strong dislike for iTunes. I also like Foobar but don't use it too much.

Winamp is the one I use the most by far (music mainly). Then Media Player Classic for DVD reproduction...

Media Player on Windows 7 corrupted the meta data of some of my MP3 files.  It is nice, but I do not trust it.  I think iTunes is the most trustworthy, but it is a bloated pig that installs a bunch of extra stuff that I do not want.

If you use Winamp, state if you purchased the Pro version or just use the free player.  I love how iTunes burns MP3 CDs for the car, and I would have to buy Pro winamp to have the same burning speed.

Winamp(free). I use it the most, but I use VLC sometimes and I use WMP for ripping CDs and watching DVDs.

I use Winamp now because my new computer's Windows Media Player don't play my Napster tracks, damnit. Anyhow now I'm suitably impressed by Winamp and believe I prefer it. I used Windows Media Player in its various incarnations since I was a little boy. Cry Say regularly from when I got my own computer until March? 2002-2010. Cry

Edit: the free winamp by the way

are there any good players that aren't memory intensive like iTunes but have good features and compatibility? I definitely want something that keeps a "library" of your songs like itunes or WMP
 
I don't want winamp

I still use WMP but I have added the flac codec to it so I can play my lossless files.

I don't like any of them - they all do things I don't want them to do and none of them are as intuitive as they like to think they.
