I guess it depends on the individual, then.
I have a friend who has a few thousand songs in her library and it runs great. My personal experience with, say, winamp and windows media player has been terrible. The user interface just isn't as intuitive as iTunes, I find, and my songs used to mysteriously skip and sounded poor. These were songs ripped from unscratched CDs.
It's true that you don't need iTunes for iPods, but I find the synching options to work better with iTunes.
I haven't used winamp in a very long time, but I do remember it being sub-par. Maybe if the thread started actually posted again we could find out what his/her perferences are. Until then, we're just flinging poo at each-other for no reason.
