Same here. I don't think there's any difference for any use case, it's pretty much the same player. I do remove all the bloatware, though.

Yeah, same here. Used it everyday from the late 90s until I moved to Spotify (and then not at all when I moved to Macs last year).

The classic player was/is such a wonderfully designed piece of software. Just minimise it and stick it to the top of the screen. Uncomplicated, unobtrusive.
