Winamp is a music player for Windows developed by Nullsoft with a feature-reduced freeware edition. The commercial "Pro" version is also available.
The main advantages of Winamp is its ease of use. In addition, it is skinnable, and extensible using plugins. As of version 5.2, it fully supports multi-user (i.e. each user of your computer may have their own skin, playlist, and other settings).
You can download Winamp at http://www.winamp.com/ . While you are there, you might also check their skin library and plugin library. And also check the very useful community (forums) where new plugins are announced and publicly tested, and very minor updates (i.e. 0.001 version increment) are posted.
