Currently I am running iTunes as my computer player. I do not have an iPod, I really don't like iPods, I have a sony walkman (click and drag kicks ass).

I like the way iTunes is set up, I like the little search icon in the top right, I like the way you can make your own playlists, I like the way everything goes.

My problem is that it is a HUGE system hog, and as soon as you start running anything else on the computer iTunes starts to skip and chop really bad. Also in my control panel it always throws up Itunes helper, and iPod something or other, even when iTunes is not running and has not been run since a restart, they are still there.

Also I have heard it told that iTunes really does a bad job on the equalizer and cuts lots of quality sound from your tunes.

So in conclusion, does anyone know of an alternative to iTunes that is not a system hog, but still has the nice search function and library idea of iTunes?

And I did a search on this but didn't really come up with anything like I am looking for, if anyone knows of any other threads like this please point them out to me!
