foobar2000 is a very recommendable media player. It is developed by Peter
Pawlowski, who used to work on Winamp3. It uses a plain and simple UI - no
skins, no fuss. While in playback mode, it approximately consumes 1.9
megabytes of RAM.

Changes in Current Version:

- Nuked compatibility with pre-0.7 components
- Massive changes in API
- Added new contextmenu manager page
- No more separate win9x/winnt versions
- Changed .cfg file format
- Separated standard UI to a dll, now fully modular
- Corrected "mouse-drag-outside-playlist-area" behavior, now scrolls like
old pre-0.4 l-istbox used to
- Some changes in titleformatting (third $pad param, $if3,
%_playlist_total%)
- New HTTP reader, using jnetlib
- Option to use custom system tray icons
- Fixed minor issue with playback stopping when user seeks past the end of
track
- Added separate preamp slider for files that dont have RG info
- New commandline parameters
- New icon
- Fixed bugs in floatingpoint WAV input
- Option to create subdirectories according to filename formatting in
diskwriter
- Range selection in ABX component
- Fixed issues with replaygain scanner not working without foo_dsp_extra.dll
installed
- Fixed issue with vorbis playback stopping when seeking-past-end-of-file
- Case added APL support, embedded cue support for FLAC and fixed bugs in
cue reader
- Option to write APEv2 tags to WAV files
- New rightclick to remove tags from files
- Improved handling of drag&drop operations, now supports dropping URLs from
browser
- Support for gapless playback of lame-encoded MP3 files
- New "Fix MP3 header" right-click for fixing VBR headers in MP3 files
(implemented in standard inputs), allows manual editing of gapless playback
info
- Moved titleformatting help to an external HTML
- Cleaned SDK structure up (now you add dependency of
foobar2000_component_client instead of including the cpp), SDK and included
projects compile much faster now
- .URL parser (for dropping internet shortcuts)
- Improved compatibility with large font settings
- Improved albumlist contextmenu

I found Winamp 3 to be very sluggish on my Duron 1.3 system but will give
this one a try nonetheless.
