Media Player Recommendations
-
I need to commit to using a single player. -I don't like Windows Media Player for 2 reasons. I can't copy my CDs to mp3 format and the UI for managing songs, artists, etc really sucks. -Real Player is awesome, except it's riddled with spyware. -WinAmp works, but it doesn't play .ra files. I'm not sure how good the UI is for managing songs. Any suggestions? It's good to be alive, Josef Wainz Programmer Analyst

Real Player has spyware? I thought it was just bloated and showed some ads...

Is there a song database? When I rip a CD, it's nice for all the song info to automatically get assigned. WMP does a nice job at this.

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 .
