RhythmBox.

But I liked Foobar over Winamp. Winamp crashed and burned my entire library once. Eh.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I haven't used Winamp in years. I used to use it all the time, though. About the time they introduced the version that played videos was when I stopped using it.

I used Winamp a lot but now I just use iTunes. Didn't really like Foobar though the few times I used it.

I've used winamp for like 10000 years but started playing with foobar lately. It can take some effort to set up but it's pretty hot:



Fast and lightweight even with a huge library. (using like 4mb of ram when playing in the background)

Winamp is easier to just play a couple files in but I'm starting to like foobar a lot more for having all my music in it.

On OS X, I'm just using iTunes. :P

That's a pretty Foobar, btw.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Downloading foobar now.  I hate iTunes, way too bulky/slow.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
