    I have tried out iTunes and Quicktime to play my MP3s and find the interface barely acceptable.

    Is there a Winamp player for Mac OS X that allows me to create a customized interface?

    The problem I have with iTunes is it copies the MP3s I have on my CD to my local hard drive for the iTunes library.

    iTunes cannot play the files straight from a removable storage.

    Have you went through your preferences yet? There is an option to turn that off. When I put in a CD, it just plays from the CD.

    Yeah, you can turn that off. And why wouldn't you want the mp3's to be on your HD?
    I agree that it takes a bit to get used to iTunes, but it is MUCH better than winamp 4/5.
    And much more stable than winamp 3.
