From the URL above, you can download the Foobar2000 player for Win32. It's an advanced audio player with support for MP3, Vorbis, Musepack. It also supports APE-tags and ReplayGain. It can also decompress ZIP/RAR archives and play songs within them. Included are also advanced features like on-the-fly resampling, which can improve sound quality on cards that force 48khz resampling (most SoundBlasters, many others too).
Currently supported audio formats: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MPC, FLAC, WAV, MOD. More support is planned.
Foobar also has support forum at Hydrogen Audio:

And the author 'zZzZzZz' can usually reached directly via IRC at irc.freenode.net #project_mayhem

Nothing to "complain" up so far. Runs nicely on my XP, task manager shows up it using "magnificient" 1,5 MB amount of memory..:)
No installation hasle, so pretty damn straight forward.
One question thou:
Lower left corner, there is Volume-value: 0.00 dB, it doesn't change to anything, is it purposed to be so or is that info depending about file-format or what?
After browsing through hydrogen-forum info about FUUBAR, I won't mention anything for further development, I'll just stay tuned
(erhm, referring to this post from from developer zZzZzZz:
before anyone else complains: foobar2000 is about functionality, technical capabilities and high-quality audio playback, NOT about cool-looking user interface. if you want skinning, visualisation, etc, then fb2k is not for you. ) Point taken..:)

Use + and - on the keyboard to adjust volume. Yeah, there will be no lame skinning or freaking mini browsers.

We have added Foobar to our software sections. It has also gained a lot of attention around the web.I very strongy recommend this player for everyone.
http://cd-rw.org/software/audio_software/audio_players/foobar2000.cfm
Current feature list (20.12.2002) includes:
- supported formats: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MPC, FLAC, Ogg FLAC, WAV, MOD (needs foo_mod.dll), SPC (needs foo_spc.dll), monkey's audio (needs foo_ape.dll)
- 32bit floating point audio processing pipeline, with 6dB hard limiter and conversion to 16/24bit (dithered) at the end.
- lossy formats (MP3, Vorbis, MPC) are decoded directly to 32bit FP so there's no clipping
- transparent rar/zip reading (slow)
- full unicode support, new playlist format (m3u8) storing international filenames properly (using UTF-8)
- runs *only* on win2k/winxp or newer
- built in SSRC resampler component (DSP)
- reads APEv2 tags from MP3 files (id3v2 is not supported and will never be)
- fully customizable keyboard shortcuts, including global hotkeys
