winamp skipped a version because it's so excellent
foobar doesn't seem to get beyond it's beta status because it's already this excellent
pick your cheese and enjoy it before it gets old

it's customizable beyond belief, and more reliable.
you can make it look and behave exactly the way you want, with a few guides to help you on your way.
winamp is internet explorer, and foobar2000 is firefox.

more reliable than winamp?
in the 10 years i've used winamp, it has never crashed once.
i liked foobar when i tried it, but for the way i play music, winamp is perfect.

i switched to foobar after some serious issues running winamp on windows vista. now, it might not be winamp's fault per se, but i couldn't even run winamp at the time.

vista broke everything.
you'll be pleased to know winamp works perfectly on xp and windows 7 - two windows based os that don't actually suck :)

all my components work with this version, and there are no big changes for me. note that 1.0 beta 1 stops working after 4 weeks. i would probably wait for 1.0 final if you don't want to install again in a couple of weeks.
preferences -> default user interface -> minimize to notification area

hah
no, rather than have visible playlists of albums, I usually just skip between individual tracks on my hdd by browsing through my directories via winamps open/play button.
i've got a pretty idiosyncratic filing system, which makes it easy for me to find what i need.
the smaller the gui, the better. i'm a total minimalist.

That's pretty much perfect for foobar, to be honest.
Plus, if ever you got a load of terribly tagged stuff, you could tag it using discogs, and then move it around to your heart's content, even if your directory structure is something like
%genre% \ %artist% - %album% (%catalogue_number% %label%) \
(that's not actually valid foobar titleformatting, i was just using it as a readable example)

I used to use Winamp and I loved that. Now I use Foobar and I love that. Soon I will just stare at my harddrive and imagine sounds, and I will love that, too.

I've used foobar for 4 years or something. Glad to see it's out of beta. No big changes, but it's stable and has a nice gui.

there's this cool new plugin i've enjoyed lately. a motherfucking waveform seekbar. just like soundcloud man. it's quite customizable and it stores waveforms of your entire music library in a cache file. pretty neat if you ask me. if you have a large music library it might use a couple of hours to read the waveforms, but when it's done you've got a waveform for every song. you don't really need the default seekbar.
may look like this
you can customize colors, size and shit.
