Best Music Player Software...?
What's the best program for playing music on a computer? I'm looking for something that produces a really good sound with MP3s (though I'd like support for all audio file types). I've been using Winamp, but I tired playing around with the sound in WMP, and I can get a much better sound (though still not quite what I want).
What do you use? What do you recommend?

how big a difference has it made?
what adjustments did you make?
and, should I check it out when I'm running on a set of two budget speakers without a sub?
Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

Definately worth checking out (particularily the MMD3 skin). No matter what your speakers are, it'll still help the sound quality and levels be closer to what you like.
P.S. Get new speakers.

I use Winamp for all my audio, and Classic Media Player for all my video. I suggest you all do the same.

No, not WMP... Classic Media Player. It loads in about a second, just like old school WMP (and also looks just like old school WMP). But it's better, cos it plays Quicktime and RealMedia if you install "QuickTime Alternative" and "Real Alternative".
