    Reasonable player. Basic in it's interface, but good for me, as I typically listen to music with the player minimized. Two caveats which I have found thus far which is making it a little difficult for me to switch from winamp:

    1. While M3U files are supported, they need FULL path/filename structure to import files. Most M3Us are built with relative pathnames (and typically just list the files themselves, as the M3U is in the same directory as the file)

    2. No option to clear the playlist when double clicking a file from windows explorer. Any file double clicked appends to the end of the playlist. I would prefer double clicking to clear the playlist, and add the selected files to the blank list.

    I am comparing this to Winamp, and I am willing to give this player a shot. With the above issues, I have to give the player a 4 star rating.

    Despite the claim of the program's writer that EvilPlayer can play FLAC files, I have never been able to play them with any version of the program. Nor can I complain of this to the author as his forum uses a service that blocks all communication from the ISP range that my computer uses. In addition, the constant need to re-right click the window to access options is very annoying if I want to change multiple settings.

    for me, evil player's RAM usage is always less than a 2 digit number

    I use foobar2000 yet I have compared this with other lightweight players (1by1, Billy etc) and this uses by far the least amount of RAM. Perfect for someone looking for a no frills player.
