Evil Player

Evil Player is a fast, powerful and flexible media player for windows. Some of Evil Player’s key features include Shoutcast, Icecast and Icecast2 support, low memory footprint and native support for several popular formats (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, AIFF and MOD).

If you are a minimalist, and like all your software bare bones without too much frills, Evil Player might be the audio player for you.

It does not come with support for lossless audio, Speex, Musepack, WMA and Audio cd out of the box, that is being handled through plugins. Only a small standard Windows window with your playlist is displayed, with no visible controls. Everything is controlled via a right click pop-up menu or hotkeys. It does not have an equalizer, support for skinning or ID3. The memory footprint is not high indeed, but it is a small fraction higher than foobar2000 on my computer.
