foobar2000 is a very recommendable media player. It is developed by Peter Pawlowski, who used to work on Winamp3. It uses a plain and simple UI – no skins, no fuss. While in playback mode, it approximately consumes 1.9 megabytes of RAM.
Changes in Current Version:
Removed useless flat dither mode
Some user interface tweaks in equalizer
Full file buffering option in diskwriter (for decoding speed tests)
Clipping is now reported through console (one-time, needs playback to be restarted
to trigger again)
Added progress bars in masstagger
Changed handling of corrupted ogg streams (will display error message and try
to play them instead of refusing to open)
Added option to prevent any tag writing operations in database settings
Fixed system tray not being updated when currently played file is edited
