Jaffa Cakes and Sodomy

When I moved over to Windows I installed iTunes, mainly for the sake of having something familiar around. Here's the thing though - I hate it. It's fugly (it doesn't fit into the desktop properly even on Mac, let alone Windows), it's slow, it uses too much CPU and it's obscenely huge and bloated for something as simple as a music player. So I'm looking for something to replace it. However, I'm kind of unfamiliar with Windows software, so I'm not sure what would be the best tool for the job.

There are some things I like about iTunes though - I wouldn't be using it otherwise. So, is there another Windows media player that has the following features?

• Automatic playlist building based on genre a la Genius (shuffle doesn't really cut it with a music collection as fucked upeclectic as mine)
• Last.fm support
• Playback of m4p files (I only have a few, but I'd quite like to keep them around)
• Automatic file organisation (sorting music you add into Artist/Album folders)
• iPod syncing (not totally necessary as I was thinking of selling my iPod)
• The option of a miniplayer so it's not taking up the entire screen
• Able to handle huge music collections (>16k files)

Any suggestions?

Windows XP halp needed...

LSS: Computer bluescreened (mentioned atapi.sys), restarted it but all I'm getting is the wallpaper and the mouse pointer. explorer.exe's apparently running, but can't be arsed to show itself onscreen, meaning no taskbar, desktop icons or menu. Ctrl+alt+del works so stuff loads from there, but that's it.

Anyone? Tyia :3

Now to try and find a tiny little screwdriver so I can retrieve the drive from my old external one, install the Windows 7 RC and be away from this shitstain of an OS for good.

Update: Seems to have fixed itself... not sure what happened (the desktop showed up all white with a ! triangle and going on about Active Desktop being screwed - I'm not even using Active Desktop O_o ), but this is the second time it's done this now so still wanting to get away from XP.

K - everything for the gaming system I'm building is either in the cupboard or in the post now :D

It's not totally top-spec (as if such a thing exists, the speed new stuff comes out), but its pretty decent. Only part I'm thinking might be upgraded in the near future is the graphics card, but I'll wait for this to happen first.
