(fax) Itunes

[Andrew]

I use foobar2000 for similar reasons.
Built-in mass-tagger, converter (if I want to make some Oggs for my
iRiver from the FLAC), ability to accurately split things up with cue
files, etc. I've found it to be an indispensable tool on Windows.
 
I don't need a fancy skinned UI to play music...
