Any suggestions for an audio player - mp3, aac, flac, etc? I wish foobar 2000 would have an Android version!

hello all, looks like i am going to enjoy this site very informative.
anyway i am a new htc desire owner (iphone convert) and have as yet not found out everything about the phone.
little things like the market search, is there away to remove/clear previous searches from the list?
are there any real must have apps that should be on the desire by default but are not? i did notice there was no default "note pad" or did i miss that
thanks in advance
Hi welcome to the comunity, as far as clearing your market search history you may want to try history eraser its free on the market and cleans ur market search history and much more and as for must have apps. Theres so many i wouldnt know where to start lol i think you can use quick office as a notepad app btw

I wouldn't be so brave to name must-haves, cuz don't know what is you use your phone for. But can give you the apps which stayed on my Des (and I really tried and uninstalled a lot):
- TuneWiki for medai play
- the weather channel (love the widget)
- kindle
... thats all. For all the other functions I still use the bundle apps.
(very specific, but worth to mention: World of Warcraft authenticator. Its very easy to install and use, free, and despite of this you still get your pet )

Dang thats a long list,,, having converted back myself i wonder how i lived so long without Google Goggles caught it on an advert the other day and thought 'It's a must!'
For file management and maintenance I recomend Es Explorer and Es Task Manager
To clear your market search history just open up the market, press menu (hard key), settings, clear search history.
Done.
Titanium backup, my backup root, go sms pro, file expert, jota text editor, poweramp

ALL APPS ARE IN MARKET
(VIDEOTONEZ-free)
Tired of traditional ringtones?
VIDEOTONEZ is a video ringtone app. How does it work? Someone calls and a music video clip pops up instead of the traditional ringtone that most of us are used to. Incase you're wondering, while the video/ringtone is playing you are able to view who's calling.
(LOOKOUT SECURITY-free)
This app helps protect any android running device from viruses, malware etc. How does it work? Everytime an app, music, video etc.is downloaded this app will scan to check for potential viruses, malware etc. This app can also give users the option to remotely wipe their device via internet.
(POWER AMP-trial)
This app is for users that use their phones as a music powerhouse. Power Amp is a music player that is more than a music player. It has both desktop and lock screen widgets for easy access to the player. Power Amp has a very powerful equalizer with pre amp. The UI is beautiful.
(ZEAM LAUNCHER-free)
Before I start, yes I'm aware of ADW and Launcher Pro! Unlike the two home launchers, ZEAM LAUNCHER has the least amount of settings but that doesn't mean that it can not/should not compete with the two. ZEAM LAUNCHER is very lightweight, not a memory hog and runs very smooth. I personally love ZEAM LAUNCHER'S UI out of the 2 I've mentioned. Try ZEAM LAUNCHER and be amazed!
(PICSAY PRO-not free)
Have you ever taken pictures with the myTouch Slide while using flash and noticed the evil red eye from hell? I have! PICSAY PRO will not prevent red eye, but it will fix the problem once red eye occurs. PICSAY PRO has many features, its like photoshop on a mobile phone. Ok, maybe not photoshop, but it has a lot of nice functions/options to edit photos.
(TUNE IN RADIO-free)
This app is one of my favorites because I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live in Maryland. I can now listen to NY radio stations without being in NY. How cool is that? If I lost or confused anyone this app is not limited to NY radio. Its global! THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.
(SOUNDHOUND-free)
This app amazing. Have you ever heard a song on the radio, at the club, in a grocery store, at your grandmothers house, etc. and wanted to know who sings it/what's the name of the song? I know I have! SOUNDHOUND allows the user to find out those same questions. How does it work? Push the SOUNDHOUND button and put your phone near to a speaker
and SOUNDHOUND will locate the Artist name, song title, youtube video, lyrics and where the song/album can be purchased. THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.
Black myTouch Slide w/stock rom
www.GoTeamFriday.com
Some of you will know me from the Developement thread...
I have created a theme for touchwiz that matches my rom theme
this is so people using my rom can use the theme manager in TouchWiz to update the icons etc to match the applications they download so the themed icons carry on.
Problem is i need a list of apps that people always download with a new rom
That is where you all come in - please tell me the apps you use most from the market.
My rom can be found here if you want to have a look - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292900
Many Many thanks in advance for all your help.

cheers buddy for that, I know I wont be able to do all that people use, but eventually i will be open for requests, and the icon themes take a while and using CatLog to find the direct paths to the app....if you know what I mean.

Thanks matey, thats quite a list, lol
It's not very important with games because i have them in folder anyway. The tools too.
ColorNote, Documents to Go, Endomondo Pro, Friendcaster Pro, Gmail, Google Goggles, Google+, Minus, Mx Video player, PowerAmp, RealCalc,Viber. Those r more important.
Subsonic - stream music from your computer to phone (like it better than GM)
PocketCloud - log in to your PC remotely
Dolphin Mini - fast, lightweight browser
Stock Browser - Best mobile browser experience I've ever had.
Baconreader - Reddit
Pulse - Awesome news
Dropbox - Used for a LOT of stuff
TED Air - For when I have nothing to do and feel like watching something interesting.
Titanium Backup - this app has saved my bacon more than once
MyBackup Pro - because it worked better at importing my old phone's bookmarks
Root Explorer - if you get one root app, make it this one
Autostarts - The real way to control app startups (and not a task killer)
Notification Toggle - works great on the GN and it's free. I was missing the CM 7.1 notification widget until I got this app
ezPDF Reader - a no brainer during the 10 cent discount days
DICE Player - the best HW accelerated media player, hands down.
Terminal Emulator - no explanation necessary
Lightflow - why they didnt include this LED functionality built into ICS is beyond me. I just wish Lightflow was a little less buggy.
TitaniumBackup - A must need for all rooters/crackflashers.
Root Explorer - Best File Manager hands down.. UI looks VERY nice in ICS.
DICE Player - Plays any videos thrown at it. 720p mkvs plays fine. No decoding needed.
CPU Spy - Ability to see your phone's state in each GHz (or sleeping mode). Debugging battery drains.
TweetDeck - View all facebook statuses/tweets all in one. [Wish it had a makeover on its UI but its doable]
Battery status bar
Cozi
Jefit Pro
Netflix
Root explorer
Screen off & lock
Sportstap
Stitcher
Volume+
