What's a good one to use? I'm currently using Winamp. I've used Aimp2, WMP, and I forget the other one. I set it on random to randomly play my 7000 songs but it seems like it only plays roughly 1000 over and over. Winamp has an option to play "Never been played" songs but that doesn't work apparently. I'd like to Shuffle thru all my songs and then start over if possible.

The headunit in my trucks do the same thing 6kish songs and I always hear the same crap.

Winamp's shuffle should work..

Anyway, I've used foobar2000 the last couple years now. It's completely opensource and customizable to have anything you want on it. Takes a bit of understanding to customize it but the basic layouts are fine from a minimalistic standpoint. Tends to use less memory/cpu compared to other players as well, and has a solid ipod plugin.

It shuffles fairly well it just seems that I hear the same 1000ish song a lot and find myself skipping to the next track quiet a bit. I've heard about foobar and will more then likely give it a try.

I use Winamp for Windows. I tried JetAudio which was awesome except playlists were too difficult for me to use well and it for some reason could no longer find songs that I had loaded on to my mp3 player (and they are still there and winamp finds them no problem).

On Macs I used iTunes and on Linux distros I use Amarok.

detmer some players will only find certain audio types.

Also any of you with a usb compatible head unit...
Format external headunit or sd card to fat, reload music and your good. 1 tb hd in my truck :)

These were all MP3s that it could find before I uploaded them and not afterwards... just too weird for my taste =P

+1 for Foobar2000

winamp is cool, wouldn't mind trying something else.

Foobar2000 is the fluff on winblows machines

I can't seem to find any skins/themes that are compatible with the newest version of foobar :(

yeah I've noticed some players on shuffle, seem to play the same songs, though it could just be my imagination.

Maybe its a conspiracy

From what I've read about Foobar it won't do it on shuffle, it'll play them all then start over. Have ait on Random and it will just randomly play song.
