What's your music player of choice?
Darwin:
Should mention that GOMPlayer makes an excellent audio player, in addition to playing video files. As noted above, though, I use XMPlay, primarily...
BRossMac:
I've tried almost every single player out there. I still will install new players to test them out to see what they do. But I completely swear by JRiver Media Center. It is killer for organizing all kinds of media--especially large libraries (I have over 40,000 songs at this point). I use it for video somewhat, but it is all I use for audio. Unfortunately it's only available for Windows (it's what's keeping me from going 100% Linux).
If you look through the Wikipedia article (linked to earlier in this thread) comparing music players, take a look at the features for JRMC. It's one of the only ones that's completely green for features AND audio format support (and is mostly green for a bunch of others). LastFM support isn't built in, but there is a plug-in that works great.
I'm also very visual. I like to look through the album covers to find music, rather than just looking at text and tags. JRMC has robust cover art support for browsing.
The bad news is...it ain't cheap (about $40). But they're constantly updating it, adding features, etc.
I HIGHLY recommend it....
J-Mac:
Lately I have been using WMP11 -- they finally have it almost right. However I was using MediaMonkey, the free version, which is about the best I've found for organization of music tracks. I still use MediaMonkey a lot for the MP3 tagging, plus it has a lot of user scripts available for things like scanning all tracks and moving the "The" to the end of groups' names, etc.
armatostr:
True about WMP11, i installed it just to keep things up to date... now is my only video player, though i used it as my only media player during a period i got bored of foobar. Now i'm looking foward to WPM12.
CleverCat:
Wow, CleverCat, my 5 dollar Ashampoo Photo Commander is a media player as well - and I didn't know! Nice to see it also play the divx files, but sad to see it won't handle FLV; have you found some kind of plugin to make it play flash videos?
