I don't get what you mean by takes too long, but Foobar2000 is another good one.
If your after a very light player there is XMPlay: http://www.un4seen.com/
Also, coolplayer: http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/

my winamp takes like less then a second to start up. and then another 2 seconds to load up like 2000 songs. but i dun have that many on my list.

are u using the latest version? cause that might be the problem. they have too much animation bs.

im using Winamp V5.05 but it only uses the "Classic" skin so its like V2.

phong =P~

just use the classic skin. it's all that fancy frontend crap that slows it down.

winamp is great, but if you really dont want to use it, and havent yet jumped on the itunes bandwagon, foobar2000 is your best bet for sure.
