MP3/Music Software?
 

Every time I do a re-install I try to find music software that I like. What software do you use to listen to music? (Windows)

Here's my run down:
foobar2000 - I installed this since I heard it was like a free version of Winamp. Hahaha... It's 100% total absolute shit. Seriously, don't touch it with a damn hand grenade.

Winamp - So I actually really like Winamp. I just wish there was a free alternative...

Songbird - I'm really considering this... I don't know much

iTunes - A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... iTunes was great. However, that was long long long ago... Plus data backup is a total bitch.

Winamp is free, at least last time I downloaded it, and it's the latest version (5.56). I agree with iTunes, it's alright, but it does piss me off some times. Been thinking about trying songbird, but haven't yet, but it looks like it could be good. I'll be trying it out here soon, have a class tomorrow that I hate, so I figure I could get away with trying it there.

Winamp by far. iTunes is terrible...

I use foobar2000. Incredibly lightweight, plays anything, and customizable to do whatever (although I use Winamp for iPod management).

Yeah, Winamp is FREE. I use it.

I'd used foobar for a little while and still would if it would still respond to my media keys after loosing focus like Winamp and any other player does. I use "Dynamic Library" plugin to view music by there folders, like foobar does at default.

Songbird seems pretty nice, it's been able to play all my songs so far, and it's got some plug-ins that you can add to affect playback options, and the theme and whatnot. I had basically zero luck with the portableapps version in class today, but I've been having problems with that whole computer, so my experience may not be indicative of how the portable version works, if you decide to go that route.

I been using winamp for years and not a single complain

kinda confused as to why you found it shit, did you have issues with using it? Its seriously the leanest mp3 player out there these days. The tabbed playlist UI is probably overly simple for people who live by the media library standards these days, though. It's even got fancy themes and a media library thing now, actually. the shit

I use Windows Media Player 10. It's easy to use, automatically recognizes new music when I put it in my music folder(im pretty sure most programs can do this though), and it's UI is pretty straight forward and user friendly. I also use it for all video files.

Being a Windows 7 guy, I have Midea Player 12. I use it for videos (amazingly sexy GUI) but I don't like to mess with the library...

Actauly, just tired The Ultimate ML Plugin and I prefer it.

Still don't understand why people hate iTunes... it's fine for me...

IDK, maybe because it lags on HIGH END systems and is a total resorce hog. And backups are a bitch.

windows media player has never failed me, always keeps music swiftly up to date as i download it and is just so easy to use.

itunes is balls as is quicktime but this isnt about quicktime.

Type in the console: mp3

ls ~/music/*.mp3 -r > mpg123 ??

anyway, my issue with WMP is leaving it open while gaming will make my framerate fart occasionally on one of my other systems. Itunes too, they're both kinda hogs. Not to mention the retarded libraries. Zune software actually has the nicest library management I've used but I like to play music by folder, not id3 tags so much

I'm using winamp again and I like it becuase I can be lazy with file managment :-P
