Best Free Music Players and Organizers
Sun, 12/28/2008 - 20:00 — Rizar| Introduction |
| Some music/media players advertised as the best free music player are problematic for their general bulkiness and heavy use of system resources (either in CPU use or memory use, not always both), such as Media Monkey, Winamp, Songbird, The KMplayer (with Winamp Window/Library), and Windows Media Player (WMP). For those who want to save on system resources, these may not be the top choices for playing music over long periods of time or while multitasking in other applications. Luckily, however, several excellent and lightweight free music players are specially designed for audiophiles. Some of them have similar features of a Media Monkey or Winamp, with advantages depending on your tastes. As I see it, the best of the free music players facilitate an appreciation for music by mimicking the music industry (for better or worse artists live in a world of photo shoots, music videos, stock genres, etc.) or by besting their competition with comparable features and lower overall bulk. They help music fans sift through different genres of music, search through their best music, filter unwanted songs, and create and organize a music library. Many of the best free media players, for example, do not fully satisfy music lovers and tend to lack focus on music related features. Bulky players are not inherently bad and they may be useful for parties or other occasions where system performance is not an issue. They tend to have some excellent features for ripping, tagging, organizing, and managing music. Additionally, some users of Media Monkey or Winamp (with the new Bento skin) may be suspicious before sacrificing such feature rich and user-friendly interfaces. Therefore, I find that bulky music players/organizers serve as good baselines for comparison. I look at the quality of the individual music players, but I also look at how much you stand to lose in user-friendliness, adaptability, feature support, and overall quality, that is, if you were changing over from WMP or Winamp. Low-resource music players that equal or surpass them ought to rank high for everyday use, and they might surprise you in the way they serve as little all-in-one music centers for storing information and organizing extensive libraries. But music players are diverse and each one may provide some key feature (hidden in there somewhere!) that best suits a particular person's taste. |
