Good MP3 player for computer?

These days most things are bundled with some fucking bullshit that you don't need and is hard as fuck to install.

I'm looking for a good MP3 player for my computer. Winamp seems to bundle a bunch of shit with even the most basic install.

Anyone know any good alternatives?

    You can turn off all the extra crap when you install winamp.

    I use iTunes...
    The software can do quite a bit - I dont know if thats what you call "bundling" though.

    I tried out foobar2000 when I saw it recommended here awhile ago and have been using it ever since.

    On a windows machine, iTunes is absolute shit (on a mac, different story). Foobar2000 is the absolute best music player for windows. It's got a very small resource footprint, especially compared to the hogs of iTunes and WinAmp. Straight from install, it's ready to go, but you can do a LOT of customization if you like of the look, as well as of playback. There are different modules for replaygain, etc, which my audiophile buddy absolutely loves tweaking to get the best sound possible. Foobar2000 is part of my default program list to install on every computer.

    Winamp 2.78c has never tried to install anything but an MP3 player on any of my computers.

    VLC is pretty good, and it comes with codecs for many audio formats.

    +1 for Foobar, very bare bones but versatile.

    That's weird, I never really thought about using VLC for listening to music.

    Well, the only time I ever listen to music in Windows is for single/few files in bizarre formats, so VLC works well enough. By playlist control, do you mean ability to create/edit/save playlists? If so, yes, it does.
