Nah, with foobar in the lead it looks about right ;)

I honestly was loving WMP until it couldn't play several files like FLAC and other rare music formats. Then some people recommended Foobar to me and I installed it and loved it ever since. Winamp is just pure fail (black screens!) and it was my favorite player. It was also the reason why I got into anime (watch TV streams and look for anime).

Memory and CPU usage aside (considering any modern computer shouldn't have any problem with RAM or playing a audio track), iTunes is just abysmal with speeds. It takes forever to start up (I can start my internet browser and load 8 tabs faster than iTunes, that's just sad), forever to change playlists, pretty much forever to do anything. They have improved it considerably with v9, but compared to other players, it's slow as a snail. Bunch that with no FLAC support, a really crappy converter which only converts stuff to ACC, no global hotkeys, no fade-outs when switching between songs (seriously, how hard can this be?)... yea...

what are you using a P4 on a dial-up modem? your argument has no basis in reality. iTunes transcoder supports various other formats including ALac. (click to show/hide)importing Flac on Snow Leopard is viable with as der ricther mentioned Fluke. personally i use a transcoder called Xld. so i take a Flac file convert it with Xld to ALac and import it into iTunes. another benefit is that i can then easily edit/add the the cover art and any incorrect tags.
when i was on windoze i used Foobar and iTunes. iTunes early on was absolute crap- it actually fragged my sound-card but since the last 3 years or so it has become stable. on Mac it operates flawlessly. no surprise there. hehe i use it in conjunction with my apple remote.
my only complaints are:
i would like to see more skin customizations
the Ping thing. although this can be removed in terminal.
would like to see the highlight line always on the current track.
re: Foobar- is it still necessary to manually add the cover art? i.e add the art to the music folder and designate it as cover.jpeg etc.

Put iTunes to the side ... shoot Foobar up. Load your awesome music and play them!
Btw, you can copy and paste easily in Foobar :D! And I have the rating system on it!
