Programs to play MP3's on home computer

[ballstothewall 10+ year member]

Ok, what programs do you guys use to play/sort your music on your computers? I'm currently using iTunes although I want to ditch it for something else. I just bought a SanDisk Sansa e260 so I want something that if possible can sync with it. My music collection is only around ~6k songs (30gig) so I don't have that much music, although it is constantly expanding.

So what do ya'll reccomend for programs?

Looking for something easy to navigate and will sync with my mp3 player.

Thanks!

Winamp is great, and has native FLAC support (for when you tire of lossy formats //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif) but can be heavy on resource usage at times.

I used Foobar2k for a bit, seemed like it could do everything I wanted, but the learning curve is steep. It's like learning a new programming langauge just to configure the player.

Foobar2k. It can be everything or very basic and easy to use. It is up to you. I transcode music with it. Tag Mp3s. It is worth the investment in time.

x2, or VLC for playlist's.

The Sansa e200 series will sync with Windows Media Player or you can simply drag-n-drop music files into the music directory of the player ...
I personally just use the drag-n-drop method as it's faster and easier, IMO.

I was wondering how far the software has come, my Rio Carbon is a ***** to upload songs to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

i like the vlc player. i use it for just about everything now as for streaming it through my home audio, i do that through my 360

Would anyone by chance know of a good player that has a very detailed equalizer control, where the frequency goes down to 20hz and increments in small steps.

Im actually using iTunes for now as WMP was pissing me off...Looking for something better though with a good equalizer like said above ^^^

winamp. the media library is priceless. its the best i've used so far. also with it you can import things directly to the player from the media list. just type in what artist you want, and than drag and drop.
