It works well with my ~2000 MP3/OGG/M4A and Mod tracks. It's fast, has a small footprint, is expandable, has library features, it's extremely customizable, works nearly out of the box with most standard multimedia keyboards, has a decent following and is actively developed. It's also GPL.
I could babble on about the plugins I use but I'll let the HydrogenAudio wiki do my talking for me:)

You'll be most interested in the ColumnsUI stuff but there's quite a few other gems in there.

I know the license only covers the actual work and not the format, but if you have to use proprietary/closed applications to get to your work that simply defeats the purpose of opening your content. At least partially anyway.
Isn't this like asking Satan the story of Jesus or something?
What good is an `open' license if the format in which it's published is closed and restrictive?

I have to agree there. The reason isn't generally about having a hard copy (although it is nice to have when a system goes tits up) but rather that most tech books are written as page-by-page textbooks. This makes them far easier to follow and learn from than a manual. This is because manual's are generally for reference or very brief introductions to whatever you're trying to learn, they rarely help in actually grokking the subject.
Most of the time manual's simply outline what functions foo, bar and baz do seperately rarely giving you 'recipes' for using foo, bar and baz together.
Where do you think standards would be without IE?

Where do you think standards would be if Internet Explorer never was, or more the point: where would standards be if Microsoft actually tried to compete in an open market with Internet Explorer?
That's almost true, but I remember some of the original DVD players costing upwards of around one thousand when they first came out.
Betamax, VCR, VCD, DVD, HD-DVD/Bluray have or will be prohibitively expensive at first. That's why for the first few months the only people who have them are those who have homes that appear on certain cable tv programs from certain cabletv channels who drop at least five grand on just the surround sound system, another five to ten grand on the video projector, about ten to twenty on the room and furnishings (heck, probably more!) and by that time it's not much to spend another thousand bucks on a Bluray or HD-DVD player.
NATting is partly done to protect the mobile users from excess traffic. Imagine someone pingflooding your mobile's IP address, and you paid for data packet traffic by the kilobyte!:)
We're talking about telcos here, they want that sort of thing.
Shun the government not the people.
Please do not lump everyone with the idiot gasbags that currently run it. Only lump the idiot gasbags with the idiot lemmings who still support them.
There are some of us who're trying to change things.
