musikCube
Finally, something near WMP. Looks wise, it's not a clone of WMP. Functionality wise, you could say it's a clone. Detection of your music library is very good, if not better than WMP.
One nice feature found in musikCube is the ability to stream Internet Radio stations. If you know their links, you can input them directly to this player and listen to them any time you want.
It also minimizes to the system tray, so your task bar won't be cluttered. It even notifies what songs it is playing now.
