Media Player Recommendations

[Blake Miller]

And the small executive stereo systems are JUST starting to support WMA. Many already support MP3. I have a Philips with PC-Link that will play the MP3 directly from my hard drive to the stereo system. I don't have to burn the CD, just RIP it to the computer's hard disk.

For video, Media Player Classic[^] in conjunction with ffdshow for the codecs. For audio, foobar2000[^] is definitely the choice for me. fb2k can do anything under the sun. In the betas of version 0.9[^] it can rip securely from CDs into any format you have configured an encoder for. It has a powerful masstagger to place tags on your files with. It even feeds your cat. You could always sneak into #foobar2000 on freenode and poke random people for help if you're stuck with something. There's also a new pretty informative wiki[^] too.

Yeah itunes for windows has been around for a while. You can download it free from the apple web site

I was talking about iPhoto, not iTunes which I'm already using .
