Picking the best desktop music player is no easy task. What makes for the best in one user's mind is different than another's, mostly because feature-sets differ so much. Still, whether you need a music store attached to your player, a complete song tagging and organization engine, syncing with mobile devices, or just a fast and lightweight player, you weighed in with dozens of nominations when we asked you which player is the best. Then, we took a look at the top five desktop music players. Now we're back to crown the winner, by your vote.
Love it or hate it (and most of you fall squarely in either camp: either you love iTunes' simplicity and features, or you hate it with the fury of a thousand suns), but iTunes took the top spot in the poll with just under 30% of the overall vote, winning by a mere 156 votes.
Hot on its heels in second with just under 29% of the votes cast was Winamp, still whipping the llama's ass after all these years. In third, right behind Winamp, was the fast and infinitely flexible foobar2000, bringing in close to 24% of the overall vote. The battle for votes fell off after the top three, with MediaMonkey coming in fourth with over 11% of the vote, and the lightweight MusicBee bringing up the rear with 6%. If there's ever been a hive that stressed the importance of nominating your favorite for the top five and then voting in the final poll, this is it.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it?it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
