I have quite a few albums I have purchased in MP3 format and currently use iTunes which I find to be quite acceptable.

However I have heard both Media Monkey and Foobar mentioned as being very good.
What are the main advantages of these?
I assume they all sound the same when playing the file?
What about converting audio CD to digital files or vice versa?
Is one better than another at this?

I do have an iPod - an original Touch - but I generally listen to music more via the PC through speakers or headphones, so I am interested in the differences from that point of view rather than syncing the ipod.
 
Many thanks for the replies. I am going to install couple of the others and see what they are like.
I have heard of the FLAC codec. Does it give any benefit if the originals were already purchased MP3s, or just if I am converting an audio CD?
