I use this neat Winamp skin. And Winamp ? Using it for about 10 years, so long time relationship.

WMP, since it has just about the right combination of style and substance. The organization is clear and spot on, with everything that needs to be there and nothing that appears intrusive.
To me, iTunes looks like a boring spreadsheet and WinAmp tends to look as cluttered and unappealing as the international space station.

Google for "Bunker Winamp" A Person. As, I like this skin, even not the song that's in it.

I´m really impressed with winamp with bento skin. Very intuitive and fast to use, surprisingly able to manage large collections of music quite well. Many bells and whistles, but they can be disabled.
Also, it would be interesting to see the results of this forum post. A summary or poll maybe?

Media Player Classic.  All the features I need, and nothing redundant.

Winamp. Simple, easy, customizable, pays everything I've ever wanted to play, always scrobbles when I want it to. It almost never becomes and "unresponsive program," too. I guess I use WMP to rip CDs, but other than that it's too bulky and unnecessary. People said Foobar was great, so I downloaded it. There's wasn't any reason to. It's basically Winamp but called another program. Just...unnecessary.

The secret of foobar is in the customization. The bare version is only good as a lite player (very little resources needed and minimal design) that supports most audio formats (flac, ape, ogg, musepack, aac, mp4, etc.) However, with my customized foobar I can: - rip CDs - encode from any format to another - do multitagging / access freedb / edit tag types - process replay-gain - display art / search and download art - schedule a computer start up + playback start in the morning at the preferred hour - scrobble directly to last.fm without installing their software and I've only got to about 20% of its potential (and available components).

Winamp, easy to use, small but useful interface, has a large library feature, way better than buggy and annoying windows media player (non-classic).

Windows Media Player CANNOT handle multi disc albums. It will order the tracks ignoring the Disc: 1 1, 2 2, 3 3, 4 4, etc. This is the only reason I cannot use it. I buy double albums on Amazon MP3 and iTunes, and Windows Media Player does not offer the feature. The only way around it is to retag all the double albums. In fairness to WMP, it is completely silly that downloaded albums are separated by Discs anyways.

Mine separates the discs. If I want to have them all as a continuous piece, I renumber the tracks on the discs after the first one. A bit of trouble, but it works. I don't do downloads if I can avoid it, which is most of the time. Give me hard copies or give me death!!!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yours does not separate the Discs with the same album name. Sure you can name the Album Disc 1 and Album Disc 2. Here is an example purchased from iTunes:

I had that problem, the usual way to solve it (annoying) was to renumber the tracks as so:
101 - disc 1 track 1 102 - disc 1 track 2 ... 201 - disc 2 track 1
etc.

I ended up renumbering them like you suggest with 3 digits. Thanks! One thing I noticed was that I had to remove them from iTunes and add them again so that the gapless playback would work.
