Winamp enjoys an almost cult-like following on the desktop, and now the popular media player is available on Android, provided you have no qualms about using beta software.
Winamp for Android works with version 2.1 of the open-source OS and higher. Features include both wireless and USB syncing with your Winamp desktop app, persistent player controls, play queue management, and support for scrobbing with the Last.fm app installed.
Just like the desktop version, there's support for playlists, search by album, artist, and song, a repeat function, shuffle, and more. It's snappy too. On our crusty old G1 (rooted), Winamp ran without issue and basically blew the pants off the stock media player.

I used to really like winamp (been using it for 10 years!), but it's just gotten too bloaty for me, and the media library recently just wasn't working correctly. I switched to foobar2000, which is really complicated, but runs a lot better and has quite a few features that made the switch worth it once I figured it out. I do miss a few things about Winamp that I haven't (yet) found out how to do in foobar2000.
