Top 10 Free Programs to make the most out of your MP3 Collection

[infra_red_dude]

I know I'm asking a wrong question here but still I Would like to know which software is best to play MP3 songs? Mostly I use Winamp. What about others like iTunes, Windows Media player etc?

If you are not bothered much about album art and stuff, Winamp 2.x with a good DSP plugin is the best player out there and also the lightest!

Foobar is lighter than Winamp 2 IMO.
And got loads of features.

Zeeshan, I was looking for a replaygain plugin for media player. Do you know where to get it?

I don't think WMP 11 supports the ReplayGain tag coz as it is , it has automatic volume levelling .

Although you can use MP3Gain to level all your MP3's .

I know that.. I dont want to apply replygain, as that makes my songs sound very low on my phone.. Volume leveling aint that good.. Anyway.. Lets hope they come out with a plugin soon

Why not switch to another player?

My friend had suggested me to go for Winamp 2.9 Version he told me that the newer ones or the ones after it are not so good. Is it true? I have always used Winamp but wanted to see if there is something better than it. What is DSP Plugin? What's the purpose for it?

There's an "Album Artist" and "Artist" tag , you can use Album Artist to arrange songs by album and you can fill Artist field with all artists for a particular song .

This setup Works Perfectly fine in WMP 11 and iTunes and Amarok .

yup, I use that in WMP11 n iTunes but this feature aint there in MediaMonkey
Correct me if Im wrong...

For me, a good file manager is enough for organising my music to the best possible extent, better than what any dumb-a$$ software like iTunes, Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc has offer. 8)

Sigh ! You'll know when your collection runs into hundred's of gb's and you need to Organize data on your PMP as well.
