foobar2000 is a very recommendable media player. It is developed by Peter Pawlowski, who used to work on Winamp3. It uses a plain and simple UI - no skins, no fuss. While in playback mode, it approximately consumes 1.9 megabytes of RAM.

Changelog 0.666:

removed replaygain-scan-while-playing
fixed some playlist repainting glitches
due to extreme abuse, preamp DSP is no longer included in compiled form
moved dithering config to playback page
added debug info about metadb_handle leaks when shutting down
workedaround glitch with multiple "open file" dialogs being open through systray
fixed "add directory" with network drives

corrected FLAC seeking glitch
separate win9x/winnt versions of diskwriter (for proper display of file names)
CD burning component (uses Nero libraries)
