I have tried lots of them, but I am just interested in everyone's
opinion on what they consider the best media player is for playing
music files?

1by1 is small, very fast and efficient MP3 player. People will slower
PCs or little RAM will be very happy with it. 1by1 is also one of the
most handy MP3 players if you have large archives of music on your
computer. Some features:
Directory Player (needs no playlists) · Extensive file navigation ·
Full resume play (remembers last track and position) · ACM (mp3) and
mpglib (mp3/mp2) support · Winamp input plugin support (mp3, flac,
wav, cda, midi, ape, ogg and others) · Audio dynamics and stereo
enhancer · Gapless/track mixing · Directory finder (plays whole
drives) · Cue sheet support · Playlist support · Favorites ·
Minimizes to tray.

85 KB download (plus whatever Winamp plugins you need, they're small
too).

I second all of the programs but in this order: foobar2000, XMPlay, and 1by1
(good if you're don't require much in the way of organization). A couple of
others are listed on my freeware page.
 
I didnt know this -- you can get 1x1 to play CDs with Winamp plugins?

That makes it a really versitile app, considering its size!

I use (have used successfully) with 1by1:

in_ape.dll 3.90
in_CDReader.dll 1.95
in_flac.dll 1.0
in_midi.dll 3.03
in_mp3.dll 2.75i, 3.0
in_vorbis.dll 1.35
in_wave.dll 2.07

From the readme file:

The plugin support is not 100% and the several plugins behave very
differently. I have tested the following plugins - some in detail,
others briefly. These plugins seem to work reliably: in_wave
(2.0+2.06), in_vorbis (1.2b19+1.32), in_CDReader (1.95). Even working
well: in_vorbis (1.13a), in_mp3 (2.75j, 2.81b, 2.91; problems with
seek on VBR files with no "TOC" in the header), in_mp3pro (1.1),
in_mod (2.2.10b29), in_mad (0.14.2b, 0.15.1b; problems with seek on
CBR; 24 bit output successfully tested), in_mp4 (2.1b). At least
playing a file (not further tested): in_mpp (1.7.9f), in_mod (1.3).

Plugins which don't use the wave output are also supported. But note
that waveout features like volume control, gapless or audio enhancer
are not working with (the non-waveout mode of) these plugins.
Successfully tested: in_midi (0.6), in_midi (3.01 - but slightly
strange in mode "DirectMusic with output"), in_cdda (2.90a).

Indeed. BTW, it has a lot of keybord shortcuts.

Q.
 
I tried them all and am gonna stick with xmplay, it is just what I
need, and uses hardly any ram at all.
