Well, I have been a foobar2000 user for over 4 years. Though I still use winamp, I'm not worried! If you haven't tried foobar yet, here is a site to help with those winamp withdrawals. http://winamp2foobar.blogspot.com/
Yes, as always, there are a few bumps in the road, but they're easy to get over. For example, Foobar2000 does not come with a complete list of shortcut keys, but you can set up your own shortcut keys for every single command in the program. And, one thing that foobar2000 has that winamp has never used, multiple playlists, or tabs, in the same window. You can even cut copy and paste between all playlist tabs. If the Winamp ship is sinking, you might want to take a look!
