Posts from Your media player. Auto-translated

I just got used to Winamp. But after Winamp, this is probably the most decent player. And I definitely don't need the cover art mode, because I choose the artist first, and only then the album.
ps, by the way, I'm registered in iStore.

Winamp suits me just fine; I haven't encountered any issues with it. The thousands of plugins (which I love) allow me to play any format without problems. I don't store music in playlists, and I don't care about album covers; if I want to look at them, I'll do it separately. That's how I do it. I simply don't need iTunes.

I only use Winamp because I have a good equalizer setting there :D
+ plugins always help, and I usually have the album covers myself (recently I've only been downloading discographies).

It's not the only way to sort. In general, the sorting is also implemented better there than in Winamp. You sort "by artist," click on the artist's cover, and voila, you get a list of all their albums, of course, also with covers.
But if Winamp hadn't been discontinued, I would still be using it (I have nothing against it) and thinking that everything suits me here and that no alternatives are needed.

So, what's the point of having album covers if, after clicking on the artist, you only see a maximum of 15 albums, or even just 1-2? They only provide aesthetic pleasure; it's nice to look at, especially on an iPod.

I open the folder with music, select the folder with the band, and drag it into Winamp. That's it.

And how much does iTunes weigh? How does it update, for example?
And still... I haven't noticed any advantages over Winamp; both Winamp and iTunes have various glitches, and I don't think either can be completely without them.

The album covers have more of an aesthetic purpose, and personally, I find it more convenient to click on larger album covers. iTunes weighs in at around 80 MB and updates entirely, meaning 80 MB. This is, of course, a drawback, but with unlimited data, it's manageable.

Is it convenient to open a folder every time? It's fine if the library isn't very large, but the prospect of browsing through folders and dragging songs around doesn't seem appealing. If convenience isn't a priority, you can use foobar2000, which has a very simplified interface, and the sound quality is said to be very good (although I didn't notice it on my average speakers). But after trying it, I decided that organizing music is much more convenient than using playlists. And in iTunes, this organization looks the most beautiful, in my opinion.

You can just put all your music there; I don't think it's that difficult.

I've tried it, tested it, and working with album covers in iTunes turns out to be a bit faster. I'm already used to navigating by them. But in general, it's mostly about aesthetics; it's pleasing to the eye. :)

I don't particularly like the way iTunes sorts by artist; I'm more used to finding the album directly. In rare cases, I create playlists, but I don't really use them much.

Also, iTunes offers more than just album cover display; it also has a list view, which is quite convenient and, of course, works faster.

P.S. iTunes is not suitable as a compact player (it's completely inferior to Winamp in this regard); I don't think there should be any doubt about that, but just in case...:)

Wow, what a heated debate! :) AIMP2 is cheap and cheerful (and also convenient and very fast)!

I also liked it when I had 2 GB of music. When I had 27.5 GB, it became inconvenient...

Yes, by the way, for those who like plugins and other modifications (I mean you, VisTrita ;) ), I can recommend an iTunes-like player called Songbird, which has an open-source code. It is built on the Firefox engine, as far as I understand, and, like any other program with open-source code, it can be modified with plugins and extensions to the point of being unrecognizable :) It's a great player, but I still prefer iTunes.

P.S. By the way, Songbird also works on Linux, as far as I know.

KMPlayer, it's the only one. It never fails. It recognizes almost all formats. It plays Flash perfectly. I recommend it to everyone, friends.

Is there even a library there? I just send them videos.

Oh, you ungrateful ones! :) I only use Windows Media Player 11 :)
