lightweight mp3 player?

fed up with winamp. Anybody have anything good that just plays mp3s? It doesn't need to anything else.....



software not hardware based....thx by lightweight i mean less memory consumption.

winamp is already a pretty lightweight mp3 player. when you install it you have the option of not installing anything else besides the mp3 player.

I personally just use Media Player Classic for all my A/V needs. But, it's a bit cumbersome for MP3s only.

You can try foobar or Sonique as well.

speaking of itunes, this might sound like a stupid question, but do they charge anything for listening to the radio on it?

It was already mentioned, but a second vote for foobar2000. If all you want is MP3 support, download the lite version.

No, you are not charged for listening to the stations on Itunes radio.

And I agree with what somone said earlier, Itunes is great but a huge resouce hog.

And if you require something even lighter, check the older versions too (forget winamp 3 tho).
