Best free Music Software

[RP1980]

Good Evening,

 

Can someone recommend the best free music management software? I am currently using Windows Media Player and some software I got with my Sony MP3 player, SonicStage.

 

I was thinking of downloading iTunes, is it worth it if I don't have an iPod? Is it any better than what I already have? I'm not worried about the 'Music Store' aspect of these programs as I load all my music from my CD collection, on the rare occasions I do download I do so from Play.com.

 

Can anyone recommend anything better that is legally free?

 

Thanks!

You won't get anything free legally but apparently Napster is now legit so try that mate.

Yeah, I use the latest version of iTunes - have to say it is a step in the right direction, with album covers being displayed, and the option to simply press 'play' to play a full album. Quite like it:)

If you are consdering a new Media Player, you might like Winamp (Free Edition). I use it primarily for music playback and VideoLAN's VLC Media Player for video playback.

 

I tried iTunes once and was impressed by its features but it takes some time to load. Besides, I find that it slows down your computer to some extent. Try different players and see what suits you best.

 

Hope that helps. :)
