I think that the Squeezebox is the best architecture for getting Audio

Foobar 2000, but only a programmer could love the interface. Otherwise

If you enjoy tweaking and fiddling, use Foobar. If you don't, I don't
think there's a good option on Windows.

Think I'll give MusicCube a try. It has a flac plugin (also toast,
which I like from Moose). We'll see how it goes.

I have to disagree - foobar works fine right after install.
It's plain though - if you want to make it pretty, that's when you have
to do the fiddling.

I don't actually play music on my desktop that much and, as WMP was
already installed, couldn't see the point in installing a second
application just to play back music (besides SoftSqueeze).
Therefore the WMP extensions seemed to make sense to me :)

Foobar2000 is the best for FLAC IMO. Nice simple UI and low system
footprint too.

I agree that Foobar is pretty unfriendly, although I did work through it
to get it working. Winamp, on the other hand, is pretty easy to deal
with. I have the free version.
