Foobar2000 which is what I've used for years. If Foobar2000 didn't exist I'd use Winamp.
Thank you for the advice, I will try it for sure. I am currently trying Real Player. Just discovered that Real Player also plays my songs from iTunes so I've imported all my songs into My Real Player Music Library. Part of my goal has been achieved - to have all songs in one player. I have decided to uninstall Windows Media Player and iTunes/QuickTime. Yay, get rid of all that bloating!
Just after posting my original post on this subject I downloaded Real Player 11. Seems really good, only uses about 10,000K memory. Anyone have any cons regarding Real Player? I'm looking at all players recommended.
When done checking several recommendations, I'll post which player, in my opinion, is the best.
I wasn't sure whether it was possible to remove Windows Media Player 11. I assumed the result of trying, would be to just roll back to WMP10, but apparently not.
However, it isn't a straightforward operation razz, so have a read up on it first.
Foobar2000. Small footprint. Plays gapless tracks seamlessly.
Yup! It's like a "swiss army knife" as far as music players go since it can do a whole lot such as rip audio CDs directly to your choice of the built-in formats given that you download the encoders, convert from a ton of formats, etc.
For anyone using Foobar2000 just remember when making your system backups to also backup the Foobar2000 configuration file:
OMG I almost freaked when Razz posted he downloaded RealPlayer 11. Glad you decided otherwise. You've gotta be really hurting if you absolutely have to download that POS......or checking out porn. For the love of God people, give up porn. Life will be simpler.

I use Winamp (5.51) with Otachan's in_!mpg123 playback plugin. Don't really know is there any real need for that plugin now a days though. I don't use Winamp that much.
