Desktop - Spotify (online) + WMP (offline) + Chrome (GPM online)

Mobile - Google Play Music (online/offline)

BS Player cause it adds subs on movies.
Windows Media Player for music.

I use WMP. Have used it for a long time. With SRS WOW & Dolby Digital, WMP is better than most on my sound card & connected home theater.
