What’s a good media library/player, mainly music, big library on a Windows PC already?

[Guest /u/squeakstar]

Currently run Jriver on PC to manage all my digital downloads and CD rips, I recently got a MacBook Pro and wondered if Jriver is as good as on pc or if some other media manager is recommended?

 

There’s a Mac version but I’d need to by a more expensive license for multiple PCs and wondered if anything else better.

 

I’d rather read the media direct from the workstation shared folder which I can access already rather than wasted MacBook storage or add another external drive.

 

I also do music production which was the main reason to jump to Mac. One neat trick I’m able to do regards reference tracks is drag a song straight out the media library into Ableton without another copy step in between, this would be essential feature too along with nice album artwork for browsing and sort by date added / release options.

 

Lemme know your faves.
