Winamp: A Response

Well I got a lot of feedback concerning my post about Winamp and it's being pwned by AOL.  I wanted to share some of the suggestions I recieved for those of you not following the comments section (read: everyone).

The player I ended up trying and seemed happy with was Zinf (Zinf Is Not FreeA*p).

The Zinf audio player is a simple, but powerful audio player for Linux and Win32. It supports MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, WAV and Audio CD playback, SHOUTcast/Icecast HTTP streaming, RTP streaming, a powerful music browser, theme support and a download manager.

What I liked about it was that it was lightweight and only worried about playing audio.  I can't stand those "kitchen sink" players that do video + every imaginable codecs, audio + every imagineable codec, ripping, burning, etc etc ad naseum.  I am still testing this app, but as of now it is in use vs research.

Another suggestion I got was for Sonique which is apparently really nice, but no longer in development.  Thanks to Lamont for that suggestion.  I may check that out when I get back into work on Monday.  If I can find a copy he had very good reviews about it.
