what music player do you use?
i'm on a seemingly endless search for the 'perfect' music player, but i have yet to find it. i find fatal flaws with every app i use, and it's incredibly frustrating :)
i want a player with album art support (folder.jpg), a native interface (no skins), and a great library organizer, preferably with a navigation tree for sorting. is that too much to ask?
so far, my faves are MediaMonkey and Songbird. if only i could combine the two!
i've also tried:
WMP: good integration, but very very slow, lacking in features
iTunes: beautiful, great features, but only works with embedded album art
WinAmp: lots of features, but absolutely terrible library
foobar2000: infinitely customizable, but its playlist-centric ways irk me
MusikCube: fast and minimal, native interface, but no album art support
AIMP2: better than winamp, but still, terrible library support
AlbumPlayer: looks good, but expensive, and not too good at organizing
MediaMonkey: GREAT library support, but very slow startup, and very ugly
Songbird: very good overall, but doesn't work with CD Art Display, which is my favourite freeware app.
i won't list the innumerable music players that lack library support like 1by1, Billy, and more. also media players like MPC and VLC. they're just no good for huge music libraries.
so what have i missed? i know the perfect player is out there. what do you use?
