VLC works great but looks FUGLY, can anybody think on something different of iTunes to play music?

You could always use a custom icon??
I'll admit I never understood the cone thing:P

Why not just use iTunes?
I use VLC for videos, but would never put that ugly ass icon in my tray.

I don't have an answer, but I am curious as to what your aversion to itunes is....?

VLC's playback awesomeness far outweighs any issue of looks. ...but then again I like the cone.

I remember hearing good things about this player:
http://getsongbird.com/- looks good, reminds me vaguely to spotify, and that's pretty good.maikel

Ok, when I said that VLC is awful I wasn't referring only to the unexplainable cone. the GUI looks even worse than winamp classic back in 2000!
Anyway, reasons to dislike iTunes:
- It's possessive (specially when using with an iphone)
- not necessarily gets along well with all formats
- uses a bunch of your memory
- insists in organising my music (I'm grown up enough to do it myself!)
- does loooaaaads of things when I only need a bloody music playermaybe it's me being retarded... (high chances)

http://code.google.com/p/movist/…Just like VLC but looks better. Plays all the shit that QT can't. Not sure about using it for music, it's mainly for video but I'm sure it'll play back music. What's wrong with iTunes for music again?

you can disable the automatic management in itunes, and there are a few things out there to enable ogg, flac, and wma in itunes.

Winamp modern skin used as that toolbar version sat at the bottom of your screen works nicely, set to always on top then just use explorer to navigate through your music. None of this itunes library crap.
