+2 for Foobar2k on windows.

And the nice thing about Foobar, which may not be readily apparent after installation, is that you can totally customize the viewable window to show exactly what you want (album covers, specific folders, equalizers/volume/spectral info, etc).

foobar also lets you tag live shows from text files (the live show tracker addon), convert format, resample, dither, etc.  It's a surprisingly sophisticated tool that's also quite easy to use.

I use JRiver. It's a great media player.

I agree.  ^^^^   

I have J. River Media Center and it sounds fantastic. 

Only thing close to it:  XBMC and that's free conversely.

Man, am I the only person using Winamp? I must suck.

Foobar too, because I can choose what I want to see.
And made by Foobar's author, Boom Audio Player, when I just want to check what's in a folder.

Very light and opens very quickly.

Noteworthy features:

    No installation or administrator rights required! Just download and run.
    Gapless playback of properly encoded files. Enjoy smooth transitions between tracks.
    ReplayGain support.
    External software is currently required to write ReplayGain information to file tags to utilize this functionality.
    Contents of your music folders are shown, in a convenient structured genre/artist/album/song view.
    By default, contents of "my music" folder or Windows Music library folders are shown. You can configure Boom to index music from any other folders though.
    You can install Boom to removable media and have it index contents of the folder it is installed in.
    Are your files badly tagged or missing tags alltogether? No problem, Boom can browse your music library by its folder structure.
    Supports variety of popular audio formats, including: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (MPC), WavPack, WAV, AIFF, MP4/M4A, WMA.
    For emergency tagging needs, Boom includes a simplified version of the foobar2000 Properties dialog.
    Easily configured to run from removable media.
    Multilanguage support.

I use MediaMonkey.
It has so many features that takes a little time to figure out.
There is a free version.  I use the pay version because it will convert "on-the-fly" when sync-ing my ipod.
It will tag from your choice of locations, and rename files according to tags.
Feature rich, but takes time to learn.
