Media Player Discussion Thread

I've used Winamp for as long as I've listened to music on my computer I'm pretty sure...like 7 or 8 years and never tried anything else. Last night I was a little bored though and tried out Media Monkey cause I've heard a few people praise it, and I'm really really likin it.

It does so many things better than Winamp, as well as alot of neat stuff I'm pretty sure winamp never did. It all just feels really smooth too. It did crash on me once last night, but I'm hoping that was just a fluke or something cause I really wanna keep using this now. Also I can't find nearly as many skins as Winamp had either, but that's not a huge deal, even though skins can be pretty cool.

I even bought a couple cheap cd's on amazon today cause one of the startup "tips" MM gives is something like, "Buying CD's on Amazon through MediaMonkey's interface helps support MediaMonkey development." Which is sorta cool I guess.

Maybe I'm just over-excited about something shiny and new, but either way, I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with this now.

i had to switch back to iTunes for about a month because MediaMonkey wouldn't recognize my AAC files for some reason, i think i cried myself to sleep every night until the latest beta came out.

seriously iTunes is just fucking awful.

[Saul Good]

Windows Media or Itunes is what I use, depending on the computer I'm at.

[FaSho]

I use iTunes, but I also don't give a **** about the interface, it's simple, so I use it.

I have been thinking about making a switch but, alot of the obscure bands that I obsess over have their entire cataloge (including super rare singles and compilation tracks) on the Itunes store. Would Media Monkey still be able to play those files?

Yeah it would. You wouldn't be able to buy from the store of course, but that's probably the only downside.

I just got mediamonkey, and I really like it, but I'm having some trouble with the last.fm scrobbler. I went to the homepage and downloaded it, and it appears to have installed, but no scrobbling is happening! Someone help?
