nishangoswami Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have never found a good way to organize my music library on windows . Can anyone please point me towards a good music manager software which automatically tags and downloads cover art for my music . For some reason my generic mp3 player cannot be synced by windows media player and itunes is horrible on windows . Please suggest a good one .

ZeroPenguins Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I currently use Songbird or Winamp to listen to music on my computer. Both are quite excellent music players and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightraven Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I personally use media monkey to manage my media it has the best net tagging I have seen. It also supported ipods and has a media server if you want to share you music in your home. The free version is more then enough for most people. Media Monkeyhttp://www.mediamonkey.com/Foobar2000http://www.foobar2000.org/Winamphttp://www.winamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nishangoswami Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I tried Songbird but i think at this stage it is too bugy and as for media monkey it used to work before my library exceeded 40gbs and now just crashes with a bluescreen winamp keeps pestering me to buy the full version . Hanent tried foobar yet. Actually i was using sony media go a while back as i owned a psp but media go always used to download a 30gb update but i wlll try foobar next thanksTried foobar seems good but has poor auto tagging support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnintendo Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm very much a Winamp man myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am out of ideas for Windows media players/tagger. I would suggest download.com and see what you can find there. The problem with songbird is it is based of the Mozilla project and it is far to bloated for a media player IMO. I personally like a simple clean interface that is responsive.

Cauldraborn Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I use Winamp but didn't buy the full version, there was a link somewhere on the web allowing you to download the full version without buying it but I don't remember where that was sorry.

pingcheck Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I've been using foobar2000 for a while now, it's my favorite. Winamp was my previous music player, and good as well, if a little buggy and resource intensive. If you don't mind the learning curve, I'd recommend foobar, otherwise, probably Winamp.

phoenix2150 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Winamp is what I use. I like to have it show the Album Covers as large thumb nails/icons.I also use Mp3tag to edit and add cover art to music files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximilianDojo Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I recommend Windows Media Player. It's free and already installed by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumar1234567890 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 MediaMonkey or Winamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichiyasha Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Dude if I were you i'd use iTunes. It's great for that kind of thing. I've never had a problems with organization with it and it's very easy to navigate with. It's completely free. just go to the Apple website to get a free download.

lolrawr Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Zune player!Yes I still own the OG Zune 30. Even though they don't make Zune's anymore, the player is still good. You can search for album art if it doesn't auto detect it. It's also good with podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 They don't make Zunes anymore? That's news to me. Why'd they stop? (I never had one. Just curious.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also good with podcasts.I have a Zune mp3 player, and I really don't like the software that comes with it; it seems so complicated, and I've fought with it a lot over the years.I've also been looking for a decent media player; I've tried Spotify (which isn't really want I wanted anyway), Winamp, Windows Media Player, some thing called Muffin(?), and I've fallen back on iTunes. It's changed a bit since I used it last, but I still think it's the easiest to use. Especially since I have TuneUp to help with missing and wrong album information.

†Emotional Outlet Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 You could give Songbird a try. It doesn't seem to do video, so if that's a functionality you need, then disregard!I tried looking for a new music player for a bit, installing random programs and trying them out, but I eventually gave up and just fall back on Songbird and Windows Media Player.

Never made a splash in the market like iPods did. Also smartphones pretty much killed it.I have a Zune mp3 player, and I really don't like the software that comes with it; it seems so complicated, and I've fought with it a lot over the years. Aw to each its own I guess. :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
