Is there anything "better" than MusicBee

...for Windows. I have only previously used Foobar to listen to music?

if there is I haven't found it and I've tried Foobar2000, MediaMonkey, Winamp, JRiver Media Center and Windows Media Player.

I personally prefer Fubar2k to MusicBee.

People everywhere recommended Neutron for smartphones. It's absolutely horrible to use cannot believe I paid decent cash for it as well.

I wouldn't bother listening to other peoples recommendations but trying different software (trial versions) for yourself.

I hate Neutron with a passion the UI is the most horrible thing I've ever seen.

I used to use Mediamonkey for quite a while, and it did all I wanted until some error kept occurring. After that I gave MusicBee a try, and at the same time actually took the time to configure Foobar. Although MusicBee seemed very good, I kept going to Foobar, and have been using it since then.

I had a very slick configuration of Fubar and it did work well but I remember wanting to change to a different skin and the hacking required just seemed ridiculous. So I found MusicBee, it supports WASAPI out of the box, added a very nice skin, configured the layout (which was much easier than Fubar) and been using it ever since. I also really like how I can rip CD's to FLAC using SecureRip and AccurateRip without needing any plugins.
