I like the iTunes player, It's much better than that Winamp crap. It does take some time to load my music folder ( 2.04GB ) 518 songs. It took iTunes about 40 seconds to load It, It takes Media Player 9 about two seconds to load It, Winamp will not load It.
EDIT - After playing around with It for some time now, I can now load my play list In under 10 seconds.
