I'm looking for a new Media Player to organise, playback and sync my music. And I was wondering what you guys could recommend. I've tried Windows Media Player, but gave up on that for some reason I forgot. I tried Media Monkey, which was great for a while, but I find it harder to use than I would like, and it doesn't have the all important feature that adds music to your library as you accuire the files.

What I'm looking for is something that'll organise my music by tags automatically, fill in tag data automatically and sort it out into the right folders in My Music (Artist/Album/Track# TrackName.Extension) without me having to bother. I would also like it to have easy syncing with my Samsung YH-J70 MP3 player (which acts as a disc drive) when I plug it in. Podcast support would be nice, but not essential. Also, a huge system overhead would not be good.

And the most important thing: for free.

I know I'm asking for alot, I was just wondering what you guys use/could recommend

I know a lot of people who like Amarok (which I thought it also available for Windows); then there are the people who use Foobar; lastly we have me, using WinAMP. I don't know if these will do what you ask, I just wanted you to know of them.

AmaroK is buildable under Windows according to the developers with some messing about, I don't think there's an official release.

I use AmaroK, but I'm in Ubuntu most of the time unless I'm playing games.
Winamp is the difinitive media player for Windows.

I use "JetAudio" therefore I never download any codecs to watch movies becuase this program have it all. it even lets you rip music and make playlist its realy userfriendly, looks good and you can change skins, its very fast and never makes your computer lag!!!

Its perfect for you because all of it's music options and the tags that you wanted... you should check it out because im using it for years and I will never change it :)

heres a link too enjoy mate and tell me what you think :)

I think I might have to go for jet audio. I have been trying WinAMP, but it A) isn't great at creating a library and B) wont properly sync to my MP3 Player
