Although I have been using iTunes for DJing for the past two years, I have tried using WinAMP before that and currently revisiting using a free software called foobar2000. Now, despite the rather innocuous name, it is actually a very powerful piece of software which works not only in Microsoft Windows but also under Linux (using Wine). The advantages of using foobar2000 include wide range of file formats (for example I have most of my collection in flac, but occasionally I will receive files in aac and mp3), plethora of customisation options, to name a few.

Here are some resources that I have personally found to be extremely useful, for anyone also seeking an alternative player.

1. Tips for customising foobar2000 for Tango DJs
2. Using foobar2000 for mass tagging of music files
3. A forum thread for using foobar2000 under Linux
