Mp3 Player That Keeps...

Check out Media Center 9 from JRiver. Its an all-in-one, similar to WMP but with more features and functionality. It includes an audio analyzer that will scan all your files and allow you to adjust replay gain/level playback volume. Check it out here: MC 9

Everybody knows you are not to do nothing else when Burning.

Never heard of useing WMP to Burn.....I like this NERO 6.....think I will stick to that.

Yes, you can burn directly from WMP9 if you have the XP version, because they have integrated it into the operating system. Nero is ok, though the search for cracks and serials is a huge pain in the ass with Nero's software.

Side note: I have a Pentium 4 with 1gig of RAM. I can burn a DVD, a CD, and and still download/upload with IRC at the same time. I wouldn't recommend this for someone on anything less than a p4 computer or 512k RAM. No coasters here, as the buffers on new drives have taken care of this problem ages ago.

Cheers everyone for the replies.
I perfer using winamp for playing my mp3's so I have decided on the mp3 gain program at http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net which seems to work very well at the moment.

Well, I don't use the autoleveling it was just a suggestion. However I do use WMP9. I'm a firm believer of using Microsoft resources, as long as they work, which this does, and they are efficient (low use of system resources). There are some advantages to WMP9. Built in CD burning, no separate program needed. Also, it has the ability to monitor folders and updates in real time when files are moved from one directory to another. No other program on the market has this.

Quintessential Player does the folder mirroring, and kicks WMPs ass for efficiency.

On WeeMouse's crappy computer, WMP takes up 50% of CPU resources when playing an mp3, 60% if the EQ is enabled. Quintessential uses 5% at most, whether EQ is enabled or not.


Trust me, WMP is a fairly shitty piece of programming.

Nobody has mentioned Musicmatch Jukebox, so i thought i would. It does volume levelling, monitors your library for changes, burns, updates ID3 tags, rips, internet radio..... It's a really handy little fella. Mind you, that's the plus version which i paid for.

I tend to use Winamp to listen to music, but musicmatch for it's features, particularly updating the tags of my music downloads.
