It does so many things better than Winamp, as well as alot of neat stuff I'm pretty sure winamp never did. It all just feels really smooth too. It did crash on me once last night, but I'm hoping that was just a fluke or something cause I really wanna keep using this now. Also I can't find nearly as many skins as Winamp had either, but that's not a huge deal, even though skins can be pretty cool.

I even bought a couple cheap cd's on amazon today cause one of the startup "tips" MM gives is something like, "Buying CD's on Amazon through MediaMonkey's interface helps support MediaMonkey development." Which is sorta cool I guess.

Maybe I'm just over-excited about something shiny and new, but either way, I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with this now.

the g-hacks blog is giving away a free copy of MediaMonkey Gold today. just leave a comment saying why you want it. but be quick!

Itunes media player is shockingly bad. Windows meida player and Winamp are both far superior.

It seems like we have a post like this every month.

Shockingly, my answer hasn't changed. No, iTunes is a memory hog. Foobar2000 is manages my media library and iPod and Billy is used for quick play.

unfortunately WMP stopped scrobbling for my lastfm so I need to use itunes.

The Monkey · 01-02-2010, 12:51 PM

I have never used the store, but I play all my music with iTunes. Works great. Tried WMP a few years back, and it was a ****ing mess.

Livewire · 01-02-2010, 01:06 PM

Yeah, I use iTunes. I think it's a pretty good player, and it's really easy to find stuff in the store, but I think it's really overpriced.
