Need A Good Media Player

Oct 4, 2007 5:57AM PDT

I'm looking for a good media player. The two things that are most important to me are that it uses id3 to organize my music and that it has some sort of multiple library feature. What I mean by that is that I have lots of music and I don't want to always have to look through all of it when I'm looking at my music, so if there would be some way to hide it that would work. I have already tried using WMP, iTunes, Media Monkey and MusikCube. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I fear there is no such device. If I read it correctly you can't use "WMP, iTunes, Media Monkey and MusikCube."

Have you considered writing your very own media manager?

Well that's what I was afriad of was that there wouldn't be anything that would do all that. I CAN use all the programs it's just none of them do all the things I want. I thought I might as well ask in case there is something out there but if not I will find a way to make one of those other programs work. Thanks for the quick reply.
