Best Audio Player? Plugins? Best High Birate File Sharing?

[BuddMan]

Basically, my system is done and it's time to make a new collection of songs. I've heard good things about Monkey Audio, but as far as mp3s go, what's a good player? What plugin goes good with it? And anyone know of a good file sharing program that has some high birate files, such as in the 320s? Thanks for any help.

Err...

Ok, here goes.

Kazaa Lite is your best bet. There's a new version out, but it's not linked to from all the Kazaa sites, so here's a link:

The one you want is Kazaa Lite, K++, 2.02 Build 5 (complex enough for ya?) which has unlimited bitrate, lots of files downloaded at once, and all the shitware removed.

As far as players go, it's up in the air. Some people like Winamp, some like ... err ... some others.

I prefer Winamp. I use version 2.81 with the MAD plugin 0.14b.

I downloaded the latest version of Winamp (3?) it wasn't that stable with my already fragile system.

Winamp 3 is GARBAGE.

Winamp 2.8x is the way to go. The DFX plugins rock too.

File sharing...
Kazaa lite
WinMX

erm, what is this mad plugin?

Phew! And here's me thinking it was this:

Odd, that site is completely blank in Phoenix, but works fine in IE.

Two arguments come to mind:

1. The people who wrote the page need to not target IE.

... or ...

2. Phoenix sucks.

Hey, Phoenix is great for testing ASP code against Mozilla.
If it works, you're in the clover.

Anyone use Foobar? And what about ASIO support? How do I get it in Winamp? And is Kazaa lite better than the actual program, cause I've used the program and it doesn't do well to find high bitrate files.

You should update your Phoenix version as the page is displaying fine here using Phoenix 0.5...

ASIO support in Winamp can be obtained (albeit with a little work) at:

A jap site huh. I'll check it out. Does anyone use Foobar? It's a pretty good player but lacks some of the "eye candy" that other players have, but in some areas I think it's better than WinAmp. I'm trying to find out if there is an ASIO plugin for it....
