I am tired of iTunes after several years of use - I want something more flexible, plus now that I have iPods (two 2nd gen Nano's, one 1st gen Shuffle), and my new Cowon 16Gig iAudio7, I need something that can manage all of them, with different playlists, and I want support for the extra files types I can play on the iAudio7.

I converted the Nano's to disk mode, and I have been testing the latest 5.51 WinAmp, but wanted to ask you folks for additional suggestions. What do you recommend I try?

I'm using MediaMonkey

Songbird is pretty good. It has a similar interface to Itunes and it seems much more flexible/modifiable as well.

I like fubar2k. Not sure if it'll work for what you have in mind, however.

Foobar can be tweaked to do anything. There's a plugin for everything, you just gotta look.

If MediaMonkey's queue was a bit better I'd love it 100%

I would love MediaMonkey even better if it supported video files.

I have a version of mediamonkey that supports videos.

It's called Winamp 5.5, and it's wonderful.

Output plugins, visualization options, universal hotkeys built in, video player, full player management, every danged plugin you could imagine including an adapter for VST's... it's got it all.

Why are any of these players better than itunes???



Please tell me if I can use and of these players on my imac?
Can I import Apple Lossless files?
Which programs?

 

[rockin_amigo14]

mediamonkey won't work on a mac

 

[wquiles]

Thanks so much for all the suggestions

I am playing now with MediaMonkey and it is working very well for me so far (I only care to manage Audio files anyway). Although similar to WinAmp, I like the behavior better in MediaMonkey, and it seems to consume less computer resources as well

So, does that mean Songbird only?

I personally feel that itunes is super bloated - I like the minimalistic nature of fubar2k
