What software are people using to play music on a computer? Forum poll limitations restrict us to 10, which means 9 actual selections and the "Other" marker.
Obvious candidates include: foobar2000 iTunes Winamp dBpoweramp J River Media Centre Amarok deadbeef Windows Media Player XMPlay If I had to go with 9, it'd be these ones. Persuade me otherwise!

Hm, perhaps it might make sense to include derivatives with the flagship, ie. Winamp and derivatives (ie. MediaMonkey, etc.), XMplay and derivatives (ie. 1by1, AIMP, etc.)
I know that AIMP3 isn't BASS-based any more, but it gives a bit more structure... Of course fb2k is going to "win" around here, but winning isn't the point. Musepack ranks highly in lossy format polls here, despite the fact that outside of HA, practically no one uses it. :'( Windows ------ foobar2000 iTunes Winamp (and derivatives, ie. MediaMonkey, etc.) XMPlay (and BASS derivatives, ie. 1by1, AIMP, etc.) dBpoweramp J River Media Centre Windows Media Player VLC Spotify Other Unix (Linux / Mac / BSD / whatever) ------ iTunes VLC Amarok Audacious Banshee Rhythmbox deadbeef Clementine Songbird Other Do people actually use Songbird?
