I use 1By1. It's mainly for MP3s only but with downloadable plugins you can play WAVs and other formats. Takes up barely over 1 MB of memory while playing music. It's less than 100 KBs and is a standalone. I love it. Winamp is compelling because of the interface design and online radio, but I resist temptations...

I mainly use WMP 10 - cause it is there, call me lame, but with all the crap I already have to install - iam usually to lazy to install something else right away. WinAMP is really good and I like v5+ to play my music files with.

I use Divx Pro for downloaded Movies

And use PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0+ for DVD movies!!!

Itunes and I dunno what else to really get, I was thinking to use WINAMP But I Dunno. VLC seems pretty good, I thought they all did video?

I use Winamp for music, and Windows Media Player for videos. But I voted for Winamp anyway.

Free, Small, Fast, Light, Portable, Minimalistic, Very high audio quality, Supports all formats (Particularly all variants of AAC. Most of my music is in various AAC formats. WinAMP still doesn't fully support He-AACv2), Kernel Bitstreaming, Dithering, and most importantly for me - it can run completly in the background with almost every function having a global hotkey.

WMP11 for me.

I use Winamp for audio songs. For music videos, I use Media Player since it seems to handle the codecs better. I used to use an old version of iTunes to copy random songs to an MP3 Player, but that broke so I haven't used it since.

I now use itunes

WMP works for me!
As for the original iPod/school discussion: are you guys still in the same school? Even IN school anymore? Just wondering.
You should get iPod linux! I'm not a huge linux fan (OK for servers, I guess, but I don't love it on the desktop) but it sure beats the default mac crap. There's a reason they call it crapple, you know. I actually don't have an iPod...

Winamp for me, ever since I can remember...

i use 1by1 for the past year or two i love it.

i dont know if i have wav files i need to play but i know 1by1 doesnt play my wma files

i use winamp for pretty much everything, except when im playing a video thats in two parts, then i use media player classic or wmp.

Windows Media Player 11 all the way!

WinAMP ftw. \o/ Doesn't change the metatags against your knowledge, or enforce DRM without your knowledge.

WMP/Nero Media Player have both messed up my own recordings. (GRR!)
