What's a good audio player for musicians? [closed]

Can you recommend any free audio players (for windows) which are well suited for musicians? Some of the features I'd like to see in a player are:

• change the pitch of a song (e.g. transpose songs in half-tone steps)
• change the playback speed
• loop a part of a song (A-B repeat)

Solution 1:

Foobar2000 had plugins to do all the above last time I used it and runs on Windows.

Solution 2:

Transcribe will do everything you've mentioned as well. It's available for Windows, Linux and OSX.

Solution 3:

What I'm currently using is WinAmp with the PaceMaker plugin.

The PaceMaker plugin allows to change the tempo or pitch (or both) of a song and has some other nice features (e.g. save settings for each song, remove vocals). The plugin should also work with the MediaMonkey player.

I guess there are also WinAmp plugins for repeating a part of a song (but so far I didn't need it).
