Music Players

I've been looking through many media/music players lately for several things.

1. A program with low memory usage.

2. A program that I can be skinned well.

3. iPod Sync support.

4. Can be minimized into a toolbar.

I downloaded a bunch, and MediaMonkey was my go-to until I realized that it would crash a lot. I then went to Winamp, but I can't find a black/blue skin for it. All the others are great, but of course they don't have the skins I'm looking for.

If any of you know a media player with the requirements I need, or know a fix for the following problems I listed, please do so.

Thanks.

I am known for being picky. My PC has to be perfect. =P

Nah, I saw your sig, I'll try and keep that in mind.

Mm, I have foobar2000, but I don't know how to apply the skin. Where could I possibly get help for that kind of thing?

Foobar 2000 is pretty cool. It comes very simple package.

I mainly use it for it's converter, so I can mess around with audio tracks extracted from BluRay and DVD movies. I can decode both AC3 5.1 and DTS 5.1, and convert to AAC 5.1 for mp4's.
I just started ripping CD's and various audio in WAV and mess around with different encoding options.

I find the help with it limited, but you can check out :


Hydrogenaudio Forums -> foobar2000


You can manipulate the panels and columns with it, and pretty much create your own skins.
You can get plug-ins for mass tagging, decoders for obscure audio formats, pretty much every format I have ever heard of.

I like it, just haven't fell in love with it yet. I still have WMP kickin most of the time.

Thanks, I'll check that out Arc. =)

On another note, does anyone know how to install themes on foobar2000? I downloaded a few I like, but they just come with some images and a few files, but no 'Themes' files. Help?

Thanks.

Foobar2000 gets my vote.
