Winamp is my all time favorite. After all these years, it's still bloat free. It comes with some extra features like a web browser, but you can select to uninstall them in the options. I have it stripped down to the basics and it runs great.

As previously mentioned, Winamp supports the iPod without any modifications. It also supports UMS type MP3 players and even MTP type players. I was very pleased to find out that Winamp recognized my new Sony NWZ-A818 MP3 player when I plugged it in.

The newest Winamp (v5.5) has better podcast support, but I don't think it's quite as polished as iTunes. Also, there are certain podcasts that are only available through the iTunes store. So unfortunately, I keep iTunes installed for that reason.

@Ytoabn:

Transcoding video files usually takes a while if you have a slower computer. And it depends on the quality settings you select. I'm not sure what software you're using now, but you may want to try Super or MediaCoder.
