Best Windows mp3/ogg-vorbis player?

It's been a while since I've used Windows, but I went back and put Windows 2000 Pro on my computer a couple of days ago. Since I've been out of the Windows loop a while, I wonder what mp3 players everyone uses.

Winamp sucks. I want something where I can organize my music through ID3 tags, do things like show album covers when a song is playing, show stored lyrics, etc. I thought iTunes would be a decent bet, but it doesn't support ogg-vorbis, which is the codec I use to rip all my music from CD (it's better quality than mp3 at a lower bitrate). For anyone who uses GNU/Linux / *BSD / Solaris, basically, I'm looking for something like amaroK.



Is there anything similar for Windows with the flexibility of amaroK? amaroK can basically play anything since it uses xine,arts, and/or gstreamer as its backend. There's no port to Windows since QT isn't available under a free license on Windows (thus, kdelibs will NEVER be ported to Windows).

Most great audio players are for linux... but there are a few that you may like. Personally I like jetaudio player from cowon that I installed when I got my mp3 player from them. Also I was just looking at wikipedia's list of media players and one called musikCube seems to be good, I just installed it and I'm gonna try it.
