Can someone recommend a media player for me?

[ExtraSharp]

Here is what I'm looking for: I only listen to newly released music. So my collection is never over like 300 albums at a time. I dont need to sort the music by album/artist/year ect. I'm really looking for a program that will operate like a bar's jukebox.

Show me the artist/album/and coverart in an alphabetical list. I would like to be able to review entire albums and sort accordingly.

I'v heard Itunes can do this, but are there any alternatives?

iTunes is the Anti-Christ.

Go with Winamp.

Media Monkey is also a good one. It works with some of the WinAmp pluggins as well. Plays almost any audio file out there!

Yea ive been using media monkey and it is good, but i reallly dont need the organizational power of MM. Maybe it can be set up to my liking, but i havn't figured out how yet.

use vlc

use vlc

Why? While VLC is great for video, it will not perform the actions he's looking for.

You could give Quintessential player a try http://www.quinnware.com/
With it's plug-ins it could be what you want and it's free.

Try Foobar 2000

[deputysalty]

Winamp for audio.
VLC for video.
Two awesome lightweight apps.

[sorcerer13]

WMP 11 useful

[dawidziu]

BSPlayer or SubEdit Player

iTunes is the Anti-Christ.

Go with Winamp.

Why? I actually like my iTunes. It slows down the comp a bit, but it's organized and I need it to recharge my mini. I've tried another program that runs with Firefox - can't quite remember what it's called - but, it was decent as well.

Then again, I don't have anything against Winamp. iTunes has just grown on me.

Ah, I found it. The program was called Songbird.

Looks interesting. All that's out right now is a test version. The real thing should be good.

Use Foobar2000. You can basically customize it endlessly.

spot on :)

although Music Match might be worth a try?

[nvidia6800]

WMP 11 very good

[HungryHom3r]

Foobar2000 can be quite a powerful music player once you take the time and start getting into all the goods it has to offer, and even then there are tons of plugins available for it.

[vaidyanath]

Vlc player

[eli1981]

Media player classic

simple and great, and supports Subtitles (if u see movies)

[ahmed84h]

RealPlayer for music
BSPlayer for Video...it's the best

[anandp]

try foobar 2000 is a good one.

[donnied]

Hmm. Songbird does look cool.

Should be good.

[zouhair]

VLC and Mplayerc for videos
Fooba2000 for audio ++++++++++++++
winamp is faaaaaaaaar behind foobar2000 capabilities, pain in the ass to learn how to tweak it but worth every effort
