What MP3 Software Do You Use?

[equk]

I thought I'd start this poll after reading another thread.

I use iTunes.

I find it is the best software I've used for organising & playing my albums. MP3 Tags are pretty good and easy to adjust on it, I find the UI is pretty good and also every now and again use it to listen to new bands/albums.

It also keeps my collection organised nicely into folders & filenames named according to the mp3 tags. AlbumArt is pretty good aswell altho I don't really use coverflow.

I mainly use it in mini mode with CD Art Display in windows and with Growl on Mac OS X.

ah yer

on linux I use - SongBird

Didn't like the idea of having to install half of KDE just to run AmaroK on Gnome

Also it looks and operates exactly like iTunes

Foobar here. Just import the directory, hit shuffle and play. 2 global hotkeys to control the enter thing. And it uses up sod all resources.

Itunes ftw. Seeing as im an ipod owner i don't bother with anything else.

 

[mrapoc]

GOnna check out songbird

 

[ionicle]

Wmp Ftw!

 

[Toxcity]

Winamp hands down!

 

[Hyper]

Windows Media Player FTW!

The only good piece of Microsoft software in my eyes

 

[FragTek]

iChoons FTW!

Only program I use anymore, I used to exclusively use Winamp, but I find iTumes much simpler to find and sort through songs than anything else. Plus it links up flawlessly with my Mac and iPod and all that good stuff.

I used Foobar for a bit but it's pretty basic and a little dull. I couldn't be arsed to spend hours surfing for plugins either

Itunes ftw. Seeing as im an ipod owner i don't bother with anything else.

I've got an iPod and have tried several other players but it always comes out on top in the end

Winamp hands down!

Tried it and found it too unstable and cluttered, despite skinning it with several different skins as well as using the standard one

Plus it links up flawlessly with my Mac and iPod and all that good stuff.

Yep that's the reason I use it, plus I like the UI and the mini player and stuff

WMP11 for Music (mp3/flac/wma)

VLC for .DTS (5.1), videos

PowerDVD 7.3 Deluxe for DVD's

 

[K3Y]

foobar2000 definately

just let it shuffle through music 24/7 and forget its there

WMP...Its there by default and it does the job just fine

Yeah, can`t argue with that. Less stuff to install the better.

Bit more touchy-feely in Vista tho imo.

 

[FarFarAway]

Touchy feely?

 

[llwyd]

Touchy feely?

Not sure I'd want to know haha

I dont mind WMP, just never really got on with the playlist and library stuff. I use foobar simply because it runs completely inconspicuously. I have Pg Up and Pg Down as global skip tracks, Num + and Num - as global volume controls and Pause as a global pause / play. Its great when you always have music on like myself.

As its christmas i'm currently foobaring some alan williams, sinatra, dean martin and a bit of lady ella
