Music Players and Operating Systems

Is it just me, or is Winamp getting old?  I use it at home, mainly just to stream my music from my home computer so I can listen to it at work.  What other options are there in Windows?  Windows Media player?  Seems fine but I can’t stream my music, afaik.  Real player?  Quicktime?  Gag.

At work I use Amarok, easily the best music player out there.  Of course it’s Linux only.

More and more I just want to drop windows for linux.  My biggest problem is that I like playing games now and then.  More and more people seem to be switching to Mac.  When I went to the open source convention, I’d guess 70% of the people there were using a Mac.  I’m just so used to my KDE desktop, I can’t see switching at this point.  Setting it up is a hassle, but once I’m up and running, it does everything I want and need.  Except play games, of course.
