Music player for windows that handles 60000+ songs. - Page 5

Winamp has worked fine for me when added masses of files. I could imagine how it would be a bit iffy for some at times though.

as for 60,000 in 1 playlist, i would say winamp, I have had 120,000 and it handled it fine.

Most likely operator error (or maybe Sony being their typical knobhead selves)
Foobar will tag however you tell it to tag.
In the english speaking windoze world, the pc music enthusiasts weapon of choice is generally foobar2000.
There is a good reason for that - it's the best.
You tell it what to do; not the other way around.

(hint: the answer is not itunes lmao *^-^*)

You might not want those features, but the OP might.

It's nice having one program that does it all (mass tagging, plays video, rips music, catalogues my media for me, burns CD's for me to play in the car)....

I know I'm reopening an old thread, but with newer versions of winamp it seems to no longer have the issues I dealt with before. However I do have an issue with it not responding for a couple minutes when I open it (also sometimes with song changes). I will be running some hdd tests to rule them out first but it seems a bit wierd other apps are not having this issue. At present playlist is less than 25000 songs for hdd with others on died. (Don't worry I keep my important documents, etc and as much of other backed up. Only some low importance items like music, movies, etc gets missed if there's not enough space).

I wish I could help you there, I have since swapped from PC to Mac, which means I now use iTunes to manage my music. The only alternative I can recommend is giving Songbird or Foobar2k a go.

Media monkey

At first I thought the interface looked a bit weird but soon I realised it was because it had so many features! This program seems to be able to do everything I could possibly think of with my music collection. Fcking awesome

foobar 2000

I use Winamp pro with classicpro and essential add-on pack. It does frustrate me sometimes with it's playlist support and wifi sync problems to Android, but it's good none the less, and still better than anything else i've played with. Haven't tried media monkey lately, but I think Winamp still has more features. Customisable crossfade support ftw

yanman · 7th April 2012, 7:44 PM

I don't really think of MediaMonkey as a player tho, even tho it does it really well. The strength is in the library management. Never really explored the different play back features much but it has a lot of extensions available.

Foobar user here; manages my ~500 albums decently enough - sound quality to me is better than wmp too.

How can the SQ be any different? It's not like there are different ways to decode MP3..

You're assuming that the albums are mp3!

Unlike h.264 video which requires decoders to be bit-exact, mp3 does not, nor any other audio decoder to my knowledge.

Foobar can output to WASAPI, which bypasses the windows mixer, not sure what other players do this.
