OK, Collective Brain, I need Help

Winamp sucks. And I was updating file info yesterday when there was a powercut and now it won't play at all. I have reinstalled, and it's still not playing well. I could uninstall and then reinstall, but that sounds like work, and Winamp has been steadily sucking more and more with each version.

So, recommendations? I don't need anything unusual - play lists, plays music, that's all I need... I think...

I'm a big foobar fan. It's extremely light, fast, and has tons of plug-ins and skins if you want more power and beauty. I like the bare bones program because it's so efficient.

Oh, and I find iTunes to be a massive resource hog. It's slow, loads a bunch of crap you don't need, and drives me batty. MediaMonkey is a better program if you want to create and organize an entire music library.

Ok, my machine is already not the fastest (honestly, some days it can't keep up with my typing) so anything with the word "resource hog" associated is not good.

I'll check out foobar then
