Btw, you can copy and paste easily in Foobar :D! And I have the rating system on it!

Foobar requires Wine to work on OSX. would love to see a port for the mac.
i remember using Foobar before every player had automatic cover art dl built in
that i had to use scripts to procure art from amazon, cduniverse etc but i had to manually
toss them into said audio folder. took some time with a larger library. but the sheer customization
possibilities is tight.
this Songbird sounds interesting.
oh yeah; doing a 180 here i must confess Quicktime is absolute rubbish. i use QT to dl HD movie trailers that's it.
i assume Apple created this abomination merely to complement Final Cut Pro which i would love to "test" myself.
i have Premiere/AE etc but i have heard FCP is more adept at the kind of editing i want to do.

So ... I recently switched to foobar and it's way better than winamp. It takes like 4% of the RAM winamp used to take and uses less CPU and it doesn't lag anymore when I'm downloading anime (well sometimes but not 100% of the time anymore).
Anyone have an awesome blue/black (those mixed) skin for foobar?

They come installed in Foobar. Do the following:
View > Layout > Quick Setup
And mess around. Pretty quick and easy ;)

Chalk up another Foobar user.
What ultimately made me pick Foobar was firstly, because it can handle anything I throw at it, and secondly, because it was very easy to disable the library function and download of cover artwork and all that. I don't need a program to keep track of my music for me, I know where I've got it stored, I don't want my media players synced to all my USB sticks, what's on them changes all the time anyway, I certainly don't want a 400*400 picture of a cover of a CD. What's that even good for? I can create my own playlists and keep track of what's on my harddrive myself, what's more, I'm better at it than any program I've come across so far.

maybe you like "songbird". it is quit a capable player but didn't liked it as much as iTunes.

"Play" is also quite neat, but fucks up your system if you also have the last.fm Client.
