I love iTunes, but some folks just plain hate it. For the latter, there’s Foobar2000, an advanced audio player for the Windows platform (sorry Mac lovers!). Some of the basic features include ReplayGain support, low memory footprint and native support for several popular audio formats.

For the techies, here are some Features:

- Open component architecture allowing third-party developers to extend functionality of the player
- Audio formats supported “out-of-the-box”: WAV, AIFF, VOC, AU, SND, Ogg Vorbis, MPC, MP2, MP3
- Audio formats supported through official addons: MPEG-4 AAC, FLAC, OggFLAC, Monkey’s Audio, WavPack, Speex, CDDA, TFMX, SPC, various MOD types; extraction on-the-fly from RAR, 7-ZIP & ZIP archives
- Full Unicode support on Windows NT
- ReplayGain support
- Low memory footprint, efficient handling of really large playlists
- Advanced file info processing capabilities (generic file info box and masstagger)
- Highly customizable playlist display
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Most of standard components are opensourced under BSD license

It’s not fancy, and doesn’t have many bells and whistles. However, it’s fast and gets straight to your music without the fuss that Itunes does. So that gets an A++ in my book
