And use the MPC-HC built in logo that I created, it's in the release builds

I like this. And the same for me. iTunes is a must have

Yep.. I swear by these two programs. All you need for the best AV experience. No need to use anything else.

Mediamonkey?

Is this Album art downloader good for downloading any artwork, and does it find hard to get artwork?

iTunes on Windows is crap, then again even the OS X version doesn't support FLAC.

Winamp
MPC-HC

Going to have to disagree with you on iTunes being bad. It works perfectly fine and I see no major flaws with it. Could you please expand on why it is bad?

It's awesome, even finds art for obscure death metal bands I sometimes listen to.

Greenlizard0 · 29 Oct 2010 at 00:37

VLC media player
MPC HT + FFDShow
Winamp

They're the only three I use.

Ziggy · 29 Oct 2010 at 03:14

All mine have been mentioned.

Gonna add Mp3tag for tagging audio files and Audacity for editing them.

Oh, and of course: Spotify.

EniGmA1981 · 29 Oct 2010 at 05:50

I use JetAudio, have done for years - tried other things but just keep coming back

exia · 29 Oct 2010 at 09:25

KMPlayer
VLC
Winamp

Moredhel · 29 Oct 2010 at 10:28

MPC-HC
Spotify
iTunes
- That's all the media players I have installed, I've even removed Windows Media Player as much as it's possible to remove.

Codecs I have installed:
AC3Filter
CoreAVC (Which installs Haali Media Splitter along side it)
FFDShow Tryouts

I've yet to find anything this combination of codecs can't play.

The best quality album artwork can be found on Album Art Exchange. Simply the best site for high quality digital artwork, a lot being high resolution (1000x1000+) and not sourced from scanned cd inserts.
