What exactly is musicmatch and whats the advantages of it.

All I know is that they throw it on almost every preloaded machine you buy these days along with all that other free offer junk. <_<

Well if you&#39;re looking for quality audio playback, you should use Winamp 2.x.
If you want to rip high quality mp3, you should use Exact Audio Copy or CDex, with the Lame encoder. MusicMatch uses the Fraunhoffer encoder and not Lame.
If you want to burn audio CDs you should use a good burner like Nero. ;)

All-in-one programs like MusicMatch Jukebox are often buggy and not very reliable for some tasks.
Specific programs for specific tasks, that&#39;s what I always say. :D

MusicMatch Jukebox is bloatware like Windows Media Player. :ph34r:
WMP is pure crap&#33; :P

I use Musicmatch for organising my music downloads. It has a really cool file tagging system that organises your mp3 collection in no time.
Although i agree with Johnny_B on EAC for ripping and winamp 2.9x for playback, i can say from experience that Musicmatch Jukebox is not buggy. It might be too bloated for low spec systems to use all the time, but it has never ever crashed on me once.

Here&#39;s an example of the file tagging. Having updated the id3 tags, musicmatch can then also rename the file for you.

I still use winamp 2.91 for playing music but musicmatch is an essential piece of kit.

I always use the best one. Now I&#39;m using 8.1 plus...


You&#39;ll find musicmatch JUKEBOX is actually a great player if you can set up the equilizer perfectly according to your speaker and soundcard... I&#39;ve compared all the four players before but a few days back I&#39;ve compared those again, i mean musicmatch JUKEBOX, jetAUDIO 5.17, Windows Media Player Series 9, and Winamp (I forgot what version it was). Finally I found mmjb is the best...

You should try Media Center 9 or the beta version of 9.1. It is an excellent program for playing and organzing music. It also handles video, images, and tv. Have a look MC9 (http://www.jriver.com/mediacenter).

I am a big musicmatch fan aswell, best player I have ever seen, the interface (especially 8) is very easy on the eyes. And the my media window, well not comparable to the atrocity(SP?) that is the counterpart in winamp. The only good thing about winamp is minimize to trey but that is what third party&#39;s are for.

I always thought of MusicMatch as sort of the AOL of media players....
that is, it&#39;s only for people who don&#39;t know any damn better.

[asmithz]

Its made by real, they made the crappy real player too.

You know I think that becomes an assumption of any software program that starts to be bundled with absolutley everything, weather you want it or not. I thought the same, when I got my last PC and it was installed. I thought that before I removed it I would check it out, Hated it asked me to upgrade whenever I closed it, pissed me right off. I went looking areound for a better player - suffice to say after an hour i just grabbed a key and now it is my favorite player, and I would know better.

...... and we all know that AOL make winamp. Don&#39;t we?

Musicmatch in a nutshell-
I don&#39;t know if winamp or jetaudio decode(play) mp3&#39;s at a higher quality than musicmatch, because I&#39;ve never tried jetaudio or winamp, but I use gabest mpc all the time and mp3&#39;s sound the same in both musicmatch and gabest to me

Musicmatch 6.0 and x.0(i think 7.0) are noob friendly, yet the 6.0version offers the creation of music libraries, 160kbps cbr mp3 encoding with oversampling, some types of conversions between mp3 cbr/vbr,wma,wav, and easy tagging and cover thingys.

Bottom line:whether musicmatch comes bundled or not is feckin irrelevant. It&#39;s good for organizing and managing very large music collections. It&#39;s stable except if you try to make it play corrupted, badly encoded movies. As far as techincal specifications, others like winamp might be better and eac rules for ripping, but its interface is more likeable imo. I use it as my mp3 organizer, gabest as my default player, and eac for ripping.
