Iv'e been using Winamp as my music player for years now and i'm bored with it. So, i'm looking for alternatives. I have iTunes, but i don't care for it, i use it to manage my idevices. I'm not looking for anything fancy, as long as it plays mp3 and has decent file management. So, what do you use, or recommend? I'm on win7 if that's a concern. Thanks!

Now all my PC's and the ones i look after all use Internet Suites, so stand alone AV's are more than useless to me, so i'm more than happy to offer them up to anyone who needs one. You must download, install and activate within 30 days, but it's a genuine deal (see link) and i wont be using any of them, so i have 5 keys to give to...

Hey all, i have my DuoOrb currently on my lga775 core 2 quad but im upgrading to a core i5 in a 1155 socket. It occurs to me that my DuoOrb will not be of any use. Does anyone know of adapter plates or anything of the like that will allow it to fit? perhaps the 1155 mobo's simply do not allow its size...
