Does anyone know of any good open source audio players for windows? It seems that the Linux ones are mostly Linux only. Can anyone point me to one? Thanks!

VLC can play video also, it works under most OSes. http://videolan.org/vlc/

I've seen screenshots of amaroK in Windows, but I think that requires some trickiness.

VLC is best for video, but hands down, for audio it's foobar2000.

I have really been a Winamp guy, although I have not tried foobar yet (if heard wonders of it).

foobar2000 is the best there is for playing music.

For videos it's VLC Media Player, altough it's kinda buggy. :|
