(and i mean that in avery positive way)
my own favourite is winamp. the gui (i'm using the latest version but with
the old classic skin) is very user friendly. i would however suggest that if
you do opt for winamp that you select the 'custom install' option and
install only the components you actually want.

No, but a few seems to stand out:
XMPlay http://www.un4seen.com/
foobar2000 http://www.foobar2000.org/
Winamp http://www.winamp.com
I've been using XMPlay for a couple of years. Tried everything else, but
keep coming back to this tiny, great sounding sounding player.

If you have WinXP or 2000 -
Foobar2000 with Kernel Streaming component downloaded and activated.

It appears there is a concensus for Winamp but personally I've been using
dbpoweramp for a few years, happily. A few glitches here and there, but it
works for me. Unfortunately they now have to charge for the mp3 music
decoder.

This program also works if you simply add the free lame decoder into theCy said:
plug in folder for dbpoweramp. You don't have to pay and it isn't much
different then adding a plug in to any of the other players.

No, not so you would notice. I guess WinAmp and XMPlay get the most mention,
but some strongly dislike WinAmp. I haven't heard from anyone that strongly
dislikes XMPlay.
My favorites are
Billy http://www.sheepfriends.com/?page=billy
XMPlay http://www.un4seen.com/
Billy is very fast, XMPlay is slower but has more features and skins.

I use Winamp, but I saw recently that it may be at the end of
the road as far as new development goes.

Does it still add spyware?
Winamp works fine for me but I`m not using the computer to listen critically to
music.

Hi,
Surprisingly, MediaMonkey is pretty good (http://www.mediamonkey.com/).
It has flawless support for Unicode too, which is required for me, since
I listen to Chinese, Korean and Japanese songs.
And it is portable freeware
