Are there any free, easy to use media (audio) players?

[gfr92y]

I have been using WinAmp PRO and JRiver Media Center PRO for a number of years and am quite happy with both. I most certainly enjoy the benefits of the PRO versions.

I do not know how to even buy an activation key for WinAmp PRO. Someone told me that who ever owns WinAmp these days has abandoned the product and is not concerned about people sharing keys. Since WinAmp's situation is less than crystal clear, it is just not worth worrying about whether or not WinAmp is subject to the limitations and restrictions listed in the consent decree.

So, I am hoping to find a free media / audio player that is as inituitive as WinAmp and Media Cedia Center, but also has the features of there respective PRO versions.

Can someone help me identify the bet one for me?

Thanks!

I use Foobar2000. I don't know what the benefits of the PRO versions are, so I can't tell you if they will be covered.

I don't know if VLC media player fits the bill or even qualifies as being suitable? It is free though, and they don't do 'Pro' versions.

It has a whole basket-load of audio & video codecs built-in, plays almost any type of media file you ask it to:

I 2nd VLC player...not a gorgeous program but extremely effective and useful...it even does transcoding to different audio video formats. Easy to use and free.

I use Clementine music player on every device I own. Linux & Windows https/www.clementine-player.org/

You can also download the android app to control the player from your phone. It is very easy to use, feature-rich, and has amazing visualizations included.
