Sheep Friends LogoI used to use WinAmp to play my tunes on my computer all the time, but for the last couple of years I haven’t for some reason or another.  I’ve been using Windows Media Player 10, but compared to WinAmp, it really sucks.  I really miss the shortcut keys that I got used to with WinAmp.  I’m sure that if I looked around I might be able to find a plugin that would give me that functionality, but I found something cooler instead.

Billy [sheepfriends.com] is an extremely small media player with surprising functionality.  My favorite is that I have my global shortcut keys back for play, forward, pause, and soft mute.  Listed on the Sheep Friends website are also several other small apps such as a lightweight calculator, conversion tool and calendar app.  Pretty cool stuff; simple, no frills and free!
