iTunes. Winamp used to be cool (2.x era), but then they release Winamp 3. Then Winamp 5. Winamp 3 and 5 both eat the crap out of system resources and are very buggy.
iTunes, on the other hand, has everything combined in one. It lets you extract music from CDs you already own (and convert them to MP3), burn CDs (MP3 or data), and even has a little music booster in it. You'll hear things in songs you never knew were there. Hell, I haven't even talked about the Music Store. Apple currently has the best music store. You should really check it out. Even if you have 56k, that is no excuse to not download the 20M setup.
The only thing Winamp 5 has over iTunes is visualizations, but you can install new ones if you're on a Mac. I'm not sure if Windows visualizations have been released yet.
