Does anyone have a recommendation for music software that has a tv style interface. I currently use Zoom Player, which works great except that only lets you browse by folder, not a tag database, because its primarily a video player anyway. I tried jriver but didn't like it at all because it's built entirely around displaying the album art. I'm looking for something text based, maybe with a nice visualization when its playing. It would be great if I could find plugin for foobar like that but I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

It's been three months so I'm bumping this.
 
Anyone got any ideas or am I the only one who has their computer hooked to their TV?

What OS do you use? Have you tried xbmc? http://xbmc.org/

 

[maverickronin]

Cool.  I'll have to check that out.  I didn't know there was actually a version of that for windows.  Or anything besides xbox for that matter.  Is that the same xbox media center or is the name a coincidence?
 
Anyway, thanks for the help.

Not sure, but I believe its for everything except the xbox. Great option for HTPC - hardware accelerated decoding for movies, supports a wide variety of remotes, etc.

Try XMPlay....they have tones of different looks and it sounds good too.
 
Link to skins page, you will see how very different it can look.
