Earlier versions of winamp 5 with the classic skin are light weight and run just fine. And if you install iTunes you automatically get that annoying iPod service. What takes up quite some memory as well. |
While that is true, I think at one point I disabled that service. Either that or I just end task it every time I notice it. It never takes more than 5mb of ram though, so it's not that bad. Especially since the standard nowadays is at least 1GB of RAM.
Now that I'm on a Mac though, I don't have that service to deal with, so it makes it even easier to justify the use of iTunes.

I don't really care for iTunes simply because it's a resource hog. WMP is okay, but not really my style.
I rock out with foobar2k, http://foobar2000.org, it's a slick, light-weight media player, supports mp3, wav, wma, flac, ogg, cdda and more. Also, it supports playlists, album regain, and it's highly customizable.
The reason why I like it so much is because it's really low on system resources, even when playing media. |
