Zinf

Zinf is an open source audio player that is built for both Linux and Windows. It has a good looking interface and is really easy to use. It was a project based on FreeAMP, the open source answer to Winamp. You can get a whole range of themes for the player. It also supports SHOUTcast or Icecast streaming audio, Ogg Vorbis, Mp3, WAV, Audio CDs, PLS or M3U playlists, a skinnable interface, and more. I does not support or play video but.

One of its best features is that it can save the streaming SHOUTcast/Icecast to your hard disk. Of course you need to take care that you aren’t breaking any law, but you can surely save the free streams with no license limitations.

One drawback is that it doesn’t have any equalizer. But overall if you are looking for a plain audio player which uses little system resources and gives the basic functionality then this is surely your best bet.

It runs easily on Windows 95/98/NT/200/XP
Linux 2.x, Pentium 100 MHz, 32 MB RAM
