i use winamp pro for everything, it can do everything in your list very efficiently. im not sure if the free 1 has all the features tho.
I've installed winamp on my windows box and VLC on my mac because winamp isn't available for that.
Just out of curiosity. I always hear that Itunes sucks. What is it that sucks about itunes? Is it just the MP3 encoding that sucks or something more? I know I've heard that the program is supposedly pretty bloated.
I can say VLC loads faster on my mac but i did have a ton of error messages pop up and it doesn't have a library manager. I could probably get used to not having one but I'm just so used to it being there.
I was only asking because i was having trouble finding very many programs for OS X that have the features i want (i wonder why that would be) so i might end up sticking with Itunes on the mac.
I'm also going to check out the CDEX that nil8 mentioned.
Thanks for everything.
