Is there a faster, more basic mp3 player for mac?

Itunes is nice and all, but it sucks for digging for stuff online really. I also don't like having so many deleted songs stuck in my playlist when i just drag a whole folder to the trash. I want something as light and simple as winamp, but for mac. Suggestions?

As I'm cleaning up my desktop, I usually just open up a finder window and listen to it in preview, then delete or file as needed.
Are you looking for something a little more in depth?
Sometimes I preview by playing through microwave, but its frustrating because
you can't delete from there.
okay, maybe im dumb, whats preview?
yeah that works ok i guess
dood, of course your dumb, you're on soulstrut.
click on finder or click on a folder on your desktop (dont double click, that will open up the file in default program for that file type)
on the left side, click desktop
make sure the view options are in the column style as opposed to icon
if you highlight an audio file, it will open up another column with an icon similar to a divshare player that you can click the play button on. Or needle drop through the track with your mouse
if the song sucks ass, you command-delete and it will shit can it, or drag it to an appropriate folder/itunes.
hope that helps, if not its cause I suck at comps a little less than you
iTunes is annoying. If you don't want to ditch it though I'd recommend going into the settings and turning off the library management so it doesn't copy every damn song you play into your library.
The only redeeming factor of iTunes in my mind is the visualizer that Robert Hodgkin (http://www.flight404.com) created in Processing.
and be done with it.
I downloaded this earlier today and have been trying it out.. so far so good. Seems to be what I've been looking for.
