What's the best music player?

I'm sure foobar can be good, but it's not easy to use 'out of the box'.

Ah!!! That sucks so bad, I can't imagine having to go back and getting all the artwork and such. But do playcounts and ratings really matter? I know there is something you can do to set it all manually, but that'll be a pain in the ass.
iTunes can suck sometimes but it's the only thing to use with the new iPod Touch : (

Haha, weren't you the one who became angry when I told you an iPod isn't all that brilliant

I've used iTunes for the longest time and before that used WMP. I am not big on either of them but I use iTunes nonetheless. I'm wondering though since we're on the topic, how difficult would it be to get Foobar up and going and halfway decent. Also, will it work with my iPod I have the 160GB classic.

I don't really like apple. The company, that is. Their machinery is allright
But what's the point of an mp3 player that can do all that when your phone can too?
(not an iPhone for me because of the iTunes issue. It's a fine phone otherwise
