MP3 jukebox software

What software do you use on your XP PC (if you have one, and do so) to play MP3s?

Do you recommend / disrecommend it?

I've been using Windows Media Player out of laziness default, but it's pretty crashy on my system, so probably about time I changed. In the past I've used RealPlayer and not much liked it, but that was many years ago so it might be better now...

I'm only interested in playing MP3s, not other media or stuff. None of my stuff is DRMed. And I'm not bothered about skins, whizzy animations, or other chrome. Or being able to rip / burn / tag / anything other than play.

And I have quite a lot of files (which may have something to do wth the crashiness), so good capabilities to sort / select / navigate are important.

I use Cowon JetAudio. It's designed for use with their MP3 players, but is free and works fine standalone. The occasional ad on startup though.

I find it marginally less annoying/more useful than Winamp, though I couldn't for the life of me say why.

Ah, cool, I shall look into that.
