    I just cba'd and downloaded a preconfigured look.

    More scripting work is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
    now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
    here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.

    Winamp plays music and doesn't eat up a bunch of memory. That's the only thing I care about. :P

    Please elaborate on functionality and flexibility.

    Foobar2000 is hands down the best audio player for any OS, which sucks because there is no Linux version and it's not stable under WINE. :{

    It's functional because there basically exists a plugin for anything you could possibly want. From different UI engines to masstaggers to scrobblers to visualisations to plugins that watch your directories for file/folder updates. It's flexible because you can do anything you want to it. You can script crazy interfaces (like, real crazy ) using PanelsUI, awesome interfaces using ColumnsUI and even with the DefaultUI. You can format text and put your own text anywhere you like in the program: If you don't like artist names, then you don't have to put artist names anywhere; you can specify your own ID3v2 metadata and use it in your formatting. You could have an ID3v2 tag called "SARS", and then use the data in that tag in your playlist in place of the artist name. With the correct extensions it supports any audio format under the Sun.

    I could go on for years.

    EDIT: Forgot the real purpose of the post.
    It's probably Fasterfox. The only extensions I'd use are Adblock and IE Tab (but that's my preference). It could be McAfee Site Advisor if it's accessing some large definitions file for every tab or something (which I wouldn't put past McAfee). Your extensions likely won't work out of the box with Firefox3, though some do.

    I use Opera, it uses less memory and it seems better :P Try using Opera with Winamp?

    I think I figured out what extension is causing the problem. I have (or had) a Winamp toolbar in Firefox that I never really used. xP I uninstalled it yesterday and Firefox behaved itself last night.

    Hooray!

    foobar2000 does multiple playlists Winamp3 is the most evil version of winamp there is, either go to 5, or back to 2.91 if you want to use less memory
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    iTunes is the devil. I won't even use it to put music on my iPod.
