What program do you listen to music on?

[apsham]

So what do you believe is the best program to listen to music on? I tire of WMP because I am sick of trying to deal with album covers (I am over obcessive about that stuff). I enjoy the Limewire use of the filenames, and not tags... but it isn't very compatible. So any suggestions?

I just stick with WinAmp, it's served me well for years now.

I was iTunes. You can scroll albums by their cover with it if you keep the songs on the computer which is extremely cool. I can't do it though since I keep all my music on my iPod and it won't let me scroll the covers for some reason. :thumbsdown:

iTunes, easiest one to navigate through.

Foobar. It's not a memory whore and it's ridiculously customizable.

I used to use foobar. now I'm using Musikcube. not customizable as foobar but its simple with a low memory footprint

Yep, Foobars great as it doesnt lag-u-lize your comp like WMP does, and only takes a second to load. Plus you can get a last.fm plugin so that helps. If WMP didn't lag the shit out of everything, I'd use that as the design scheme is nice, but Foobar's sooo much simpler.

I did download a theme for it, one that showed and sorted by albums, but it started to go tits up when you had say, an artist with a few songs from different albums scattered around, some albums with art, others without, etc. So i've just kept the standard (even if I've changed the colours ) text only version for my approx 900 songs .

Only bad thing is it (to my knowledge) doesn't do videos. It plays them, just you can't WATCH them, only listen. If I could, WMP would be redundant on my PC frankly.

Musikcube seems alright for now, as I changed everything to just titles and artists.

[Baddar]

The simple Windows Media Player - It doesn't slow my PC down, and does what I want it to.

[Gabriel]

I use Winamp 2.95

It was the first program I used on the computer that wasn't Limewire (for musical listenings)... and there's nothing wrong with it. It does what I need it to, so if it ain't broke, why try to fix it?

iTunes, I like the library (even though the last few updates have fucked it up slightly, thankyou very much iPhone ) and generally good look it gives without using up my memory.

[apsham]

I always thought iTunes was a giant memory whore.

Well my computer is exceptionally well put together and it doesn't affect it in any major way, it used to suck, but most problems have been fixed.

iTunes. My computer's not crap so it runs smoothly all the time.

Same. Works great, and it's a lot easier to keep my music organized than it is with iTunes.

Unless WinAmp had a MASSIVE overhaul I don't think that's anywhere near being true >_> Did they give you some actual options in terms of playlists, playcounts and data info or something?

I use iTunes, Im having some problems with video podcasts at the moment and sometimes when I open up itunes it just opens up all blacked out, until I scroll or minimise/maximise. Though, you cant beat the organisation/cover flow/playlists/play counts and just the familiarity I have with it now. Now if only my Creative MP3 player could sync up with it.

No, I keep my music organized in Windows Explorer. I have over 200 different playlists I've saved. iTunes was a bitch to do that with, and since I've been doing it this way for 5 years, why change something I'm much more efficient with?

So do I, but it's better organised by iTunes, easier to get to and it makes literally zero difference manually making playlists between iTunes or Winamp except that iTunes has all the songs in one list and WinAmp you have to switch between one open segment of it and another or go through all your Explorer windows to get to the songs >_>
