I need to know a good music player compatible with windows 10

[Windows Central Question]

I have a massive cd collection i want to store on my computer I need to know a good player to use with windows 10. I used to use wmp but I guess guess that is compatible now.

Foobar2000 for local playback. Plex for remote playback.
Used to use Groove with subscription for a while but the audio quality of the WMA files Microsoft provides is a joke. Might be good enough for deaf kids using Beats headphones but I'm not that guy.

Hands down foobar2000 (not the version that is in the store though, that one sucks): library, playlist and controls. Fully customizable. Extremely spartan. What else do you need?

 

[spyderblacks]

Try AIMP. It's complete (syncs music with the folders of your choosing and supports smart playlists too, from the website you can get a lot of skins if the default one doesn't suffice for you -I use OrahMulih-, and has many other standard features you'd expect). The most outstanding feature, though, one I can never play my music without, is an excellent Equalizer and this one delivers better than any out there.

Thanks for the recommendation. It seems solid and has lots of options. I may use it on the desktop anyway, just wish it had a WP version (ya I can dream)

Another vote here for MusicBee. I used to be a Foobar2000 diehard but MusicBee has taken over for me. It looks great, is extremely stable, the feature set is as deep as the ocean and it handles tagging better than any other player I've ever used.

I have a big library but not as huge as yours. I have a need to have my library of music exported to Excel, with as much metadata details as possible...
any recommendations?

MP3Tag. That will do it. Best metadata software I've used, though I haven't tried all of 'em. But this one does it for me. I use it to clean up my metadata, and it does it brilliantly either individually, or in batches.

Zune, Zune, Zune, Zune, Zune!!!!!!!! My second pick as a stand alone player is Winamp, only because I really enjoy the tripex visualization plugin. But Zune is awesome for management. I hate that when the marketplace was removed that the really nice background that showed while music was playing also disappeared. Windows Media Player is also really good for managing and syncing music files. I'm not too igged about not being able to purchase music in the same place but I am igged that Groove hasn't yet been able to match Zune. :eck:

JRiver Media Center is the best media manager I have come across. I have been using it for the past 10 years. It will handle over 500K media files easy. The built in media server streams across all my devices and connect via the internet effortlessly when I am on the road. It play all media formats, auto (batch) tag , built-in search engine, library backups, etc. Integrates iPhone, Netflix, Hulu and a host of other web services. Give Jriver MC a try.

I use Foobar2000 & Aimp4. Foobar2000 is faster than Aimp (on my pc) but Aimp sound better than Foobar2000, because it can set EQ up to 18 bands.(32Hz - 16kHz) While Foobar2000 can set 10 bands. (64Hz - 16kHz)

MusicBee - it's free and it's really smart - very customisable UI and good tools for ripping and burning - it's particularly smart at handling metadata, downloading info as best it can, but also offering easy editing tools for correcting the metadata so it suits how you want to organise things. You'll need to download the LAME codec if you want to rip to MP3, but that's easily done (instructions included) and also free... or use a truly open source file format. You'll find it here https://getmusicbee.com (and no, I'm nothing to do with the people behind it, just grateful to them).

I second this and also AIMP.

Give Music Mode ( https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...-mode%2F9wzdncrdcflx%3Frtc%3D1&token=BqURbH_2 ) a try. By far the best music player. Can also read from network shares, OneDrive etc)

I use Groove.

 

[Jazmac]

Not much I know of can beat AIMP. I used to be a big VLC fan until I tried AIMP. Best music player ever.

 

[SteVae]

Have you tried Groove?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! I can't even believe you said that. Were you being serious? I sure hope not...

I have used JRiver Media Center and Winamp Pro forever, with no need for any other players. Both have been easy to use and adjust for the best sound quality and ease of use.

 

[Mr Pedro D Rodriguez Sr]

I have used all paid and free , and settled on JRiver 19. Now I'm on version 23 and I love it. You can do photos and video too, but it audio capabilities are wonderful. I recommend it.

 

[midnightfrolic]

I still rocking out using Winamp. still the best IMHO.

I have moved to MediaMonkey. It can manage devices including my old Nokia Icon Windows 10 phone that I use as a MP3 player anymore. But it can manage tags, handle many different media formats. There is a App in the Windows Store but I mainly stick to the downloaded program. I have been using MediaMonkey since Music Match was killed off by Yahoo years ago.

Ok, I'm a believer. I mentioned AIMP in a post and others talked about Music Bee. So as the geek I am, I decided to give it a spin. (no pun intended) OMG, this app is fantastic. The EQ is especially wonderful. How this app is able to separate sound the way it does is amazing. I have these Bose Companion 2 Series III's on my desk and with this app I get this sound out of my stereo speakers but its like the voices are coming directly from my monitor and it even sounds great. I have to chalk that up to the Music Bee EQ. Whomever mentioned Music Bee first, thank you. I am literately blown away. I am a fan.

 

[raycpl]

Think I have to revisit Music Bee .. Haven't used the program in a while
