    Invincible. I have been using it since v1.9x (good old Sonique times, lol) and tried a bunch of alternatives, even MediaMonkey and that geek toy foobar2000. I've always switched back to my beloved Winamp. Nothing more to say, I guess...

    Works great and the media library is really fast at updating the metadata. It managed to index all of my 1316 songs within a minute, something WLM does in roughly 5 minutes.

    Somehow Windows Mediaplayer 11 has better sound quality, but I hate the media library that it has build in to it. Thats why I use Winamp cos it has very good medialibrary, good skins and great plugins.
