MM is truly excellent at playing back every file format (mine library is mostly MP4/MP3/FLAC-APE) with support for many addons to increase the already impressive functionality available - its so simple Ive stuck with them for years! For my own CDs I rip using EAC in FLAC format (perfect quality) and manage music using MM. If you rip CDs with MM you can use Auto-Tag from web (ALT+L) to automatically name your tracks with covers & information.

I love listening to my music library (cheap £500 10TB microserver) on continuous shuffle when Im back from a hard days work, it manages huge libraries effortless and plays music back instantly. My existing playlist is currently 6000-songs strong and counting.

FYI I use MM Gold. Tip for iPods, etc, you can configure non-compatible formats on the fly but make sure you manually choose stereo (Options> Portable/Audio Devices) as otherwise it will default to the lesser joint-stereo - worth sticking to 320kbps mp3 for connecting to car systems.
I make sure MM uses my SB Audigy soundcard for hardware acceleration and its crystal clear with no stuttering, even on 4500kbps 24bit/192KHz FLACs.

Other thing I like about MM is you can pick and choose and send to player directly. No syncing.

Easy to use, and does a great job managing my music library. I wanted a simple software which would allow me to set up a party music library, and Media Monkey is simple to use, and does a great job. A must have.

Media Monkey rules, most players can’t handle big libraries and even if they can it takes forever for them to build a library list. I have a MP3/WMA Lossless library of over 300MB’s and all but 60MB’s is low quality MP3’s (ripped at 128 to 192) so there are tens of thousands of songs. Media Monkey had no problem what so ever with this and built a library list within about a half hour. One of the popular players Quintessential took most of the day to build a list.

Not only does it handle big play lists but also has a very good normalizing function so that you don’t have to be blown out of your seat one second and then putting in your hearing aid to hear the next song.

The skins that come with it are very nice but of course you can add to that if you wish.

Another nice feature is that you can add and manage your plugins easily so that you don’t get stuck with a bad plugin or can change on the fly if so deemed.

I’m amazed at how many poor players exist and how few goods ones there are, this player rates 5 out of 5 in my opinion and I’ve played with quite a few.

If your looking for an iTunes/iPod syncing alternative this is it. MediaMonkey does it all. Syncs to a big library of mp3 players (incl. iPod) has visualazation support. Supports Winamp 2 plugins. Can rip and burn cd's. And retrieve song/artist info and cover art from the amazon.com interface. And one of my favorite featurs it can convert your songs to a lower bitrate while syncing your mp3 player. So you can have all your songs saved as lossless files and then convert them to 128 kbps, 256 kbps, etc while syncing your decive. All in all MediaMonkey is the only piece of software anyone will ever need for their music collection.
