WinAMP is deffinately the best. It's the most customizable and has the most features. The docked toolbar mode, huge plugin and vis. support, and simple yet stylish design are my favorite aspects. Plus, it installs no BS on your system. That's where WMP and RealPlayer slow you down, with tons of update programs and other hidden programs that connect to the internet. And, as you probably know, the more connections to the internet you have, the more vunerable you are!
