Details: Doesn't have visualisations. A toolbar on the start bar like WMP9/10 would be handy. Awesome for dealing with big collections though. The only reason I switched. Burning support sucks.

Summary: Great Tagger

Details: As far as a media player, its up there with Windows Media Player, but where it surpasses them all is its tagging capability. In one quick move, you can tag and properly folder every song based on its ID3 tag name. Or, you can give it a tag name based on its file name. It comes with a ripper, and audio converter, so you can take your CD and put them into MP3s or high quality OGG Vorbis files (amoung others) instantly. Lastly, it has a decent equilizer and vizualization

Pros: TAGGING!!!

Cons: Play list is a little hard to manage

Period used: 2 Years

Summary: full featured, great Library and playlist features

Details: Folder-monitoring is well thought and integrated with the library. Auto-playlists; highly customisable, vitually as powerful as macro-programming, but with a very easy, intuitive interface. Good international support. All the normal features are also there; ripping, burning, CDDB look-up, Tags editing, synchonisation with a mobile player, supports all common formats, plus conversion between these... Even has a non-skinned option for those just want a normal looking application which is easy to use and to customise as the user sees fit. Supports winamp plugins, I currently use a plugin for global-hotkeys since these are not yet directly implemented by the program itself

Pros: Library, auto-playlists, highly customisable, truly user-friendly, full featured

Cons: costs money for the full-features version

Summary: Great cataloging and organizing.

Details: This software is great for managing tags, tracks, grouping and searching your music. On the other hand it doesn't have any fancy visual features. You decide what you need - a player that looks good or a player that lets you organize massive amount of files, and control your music like no other. Also, this player is very light, runs like a charm on a Pentium III with 256MB.

Pros: Great music management. Lots of substance

Cons: No skins. No visuals. No glitter.

Summary: So far...

Details: So far MediaMonkey is the best Media player I've used with many advanced features which I use all the time. For example, every single track in my library (over 4200) is all converted to 160kbps mp3 so it is all the same quality. I did this with MediaMonkey as well as find all track information and organize the files using the feature which can organize the files you have into folders based on the mp3 tags. I love the Monkey...

Pros: Everything but one...

Cons: Only the fact that at times it'll do something stupid 'cause of a bug

Period used: For the past year

Other products used: Windows Media Player, WinAmp, a few others which I have already forgotten the names of...

Summary: Player for ambitious music lovers

Details: It's a cool player, especially compared with the Windows Media Player and iTunes it feels just slicker once you got used to it. The startup time is incredibly short, it seems to be consuming little resources, shows nice popups and manages all your songs in the integrated database, which you can update by one click. A nice feature, I especially like is the moving/renaming of music files by the information in the ID3-Tag and - especially compared with iTunes and Windows Media Player - the many audio formats it supports.

Pros: maaaany features, minimizes to tray, support for many audio-formats, auto-tagging/moving of files, comes with included database for titles, virtual-cd creation, cool skins available, feels just "smooth" while using, fast startup, nice baloons showing trac

Cons: some functions limited to commercial version, you will need some time until you get used to the player, DRM-protected files won't play, somewhat "fuzzy" equalizer (only two bars)

Summary: best player I have used to date.

Details: Media Monkey provides me with easy access to the music on my computer, and also allows me to access good quality radio stations from the web without demanding that I fill subscription forms or pay for the types of music I want to listen to. I didn't have to spend a long time learning how to use Media Monkey. I can keep the player in view, minimize it, or even cause it to disappear from the desk top.

Pros: ease of use, minimizes farther than other players.

Cons: when a new song comes on up pops an annoying bubble with the name of the song.

Details: The auto-tag from Amazon is a godsend. The auto-organize files option is also brilliant. The stats of what you play most often/what's in your library is pretty cool too. The full version does everything windows media player does and more but with less resources and it looks better.

Cons: full version aint free

Summary: This is simply the best player for getting your music tagged, organized and accessible...

Details: Rather than having to add tracks to the library, I browse my music straight from the source in MediaMonkey's file tree, and with the StartupNode script, I have it open directly to my music folder on startup. There really is no other player that gives you this degree of control...

Pros: Has every feature & function under the sun...

Cons: Could lighten up a bit on the memory usage, but it's still half of what iTunes consumes...

Summary: Lots of features, easily customizable

Details: All the things you miss in iTunes you get in MediaMonkey. Except maybe Podcast support - that does not always work. But you can use Juice for that. You can define different track and album artist - a great idea. Save file according to your specification, not like in iTunes Esp the organization of your music library is excellent. You can add information from Amazon etc. Lots of available scripts expand functionality.

Pros: Features, organization of library

Cons: limited Podcast support

Summary: Mediamonkey is Awesome!

Details: It has a lot more features than iTunes, and is much simpler to use. It uses the Winamp engine to play songs so it sounds great. It has support for any winamp plugin. The best thing about it is its database management functions. You can automatically organize into folders using custom wildcards to rename files. It integrates with freedb. It is just all around awesome. There is a paid version, but I don't miss any of the features (faster cd burning, smart playlists, and sleep timer) so I don't have it. It is at least worth checking out.

Pros: Features, smaller memory footprint than iTunes, plugins

Cons: none that I can think of

Period used: 1 year

Other products used: iTunes, WMP 10 and 11, amarok, foobar, numerous others

Summary: Just the best music organizer ever

Details: MediaMonkey is a music manager and jukebox for serious music collectors and iPod users. It catalogs your CDs, OGG, WMA, MPC, FLAC, APE, WAV and MP3 audio files. It offers an intelligent tag editor which looks up missing Album Art and track information via Freedb and the web, and an automated file and directory renamer to organize your music library. It includes a CD ripper, CD/DVD Burner, and audio converter for saving music, and manual or automated playlist editors for creating music mixes. Its player automatically adjusts volume levels so that you don't have continually fiddle with the volume control and supports hundreds of Winamp plug-ins and visualizations; or if you prefer, it can use Winamp as the default player. It also includes portable audio device synchronization that allows you to quickly synch tracks and playlists with iPods and other portable audio devices.

Pros: The best music library organizer, tagger. Lots of scripts and plugins (from Winamp)

Cons: Could be prettier but gets the job done.
