I'm curious what software people are using to organize and play music via their computers and why.

I use Media Jukebox from JRiver. It has great add-ins for burning, ripping, and portable mp3 players. I load the music from it to my mp3 player as well. It also has several formats to convert to along with a recording function from the whatever source you are playing. A media editor is also available to edit any file.

Winamp free works for me... it's very easy to use and has decent plug-ins.Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.Comment

Gordon,
Doesn't Winamp convert all source material to a 48kHz signal internally in the computer, or did I get that wrong?BruceComment

No Idea
, I've never looked into that. I'm sure it's on their site somewhere.

I don't think that has to do with the software, but the soundcard that you are using. For example, the Audigy cards convert everything to 48khz. I believe the M-Audio and some of the others will output a 44.1khz signal. I'll have to look into that a bit more...

Gordon and AJ,
Sorry, I think I'm referring to the windows kernel mixer (k-mixer) that gets used with Winamp.
I think that's the reason M-Audio cards can use the ASIO interface (bypassing k-mixer) to keep the signal going to the soundcard in the digital domain at the native 44.1kHz without any conversion to 48kHz and the resulting conversion artifacts.BruceComment

I've been using Itunes from apple for my music server. real easy to use and very flexibleComment

JRiver Media Center, which is only $5 more than the deluxe version of Media Center, DOES support ASIO playback. Along with a lot of other cool features. Including DVD playback or recording.
I'm going to try this for a media player, as ASIO is the only way to go for CD, even SPDIF.

Cinemars Music Lobby which uses J Rivers MC10 as the front end is a great and easy to use package, however MC10 has some glitches and is fickel. I have screen shots of the interface. Check out post #22

Converting CDs to MP3s
By JIM CARROLL -- CNEWS Tech News
My eight-year-old happens to think that CDs are from the "olden- days."
Not surprising, given that in this household, most of the 1,000 or so CDs that I own sit on a shelf, serving as nothing... -
Hello
I am new to streaming music and are currently auditioning a music fidelity clic 1 player. I have played music back from a variety of sources and while is sounds great I have one big issue. If I am playing a file/track off a memory stick or network while it is possible to pause... -
Anyway... (please be patient with this long dribble that follows)
I have to admit I am waaaaay behind the times when it comes to this. After seeing and listening to some home server/central storage solutions I have realized how convenient central mass storage could be. However, all... -
well, geez, it's a new year, and I haven't finished configuring and tweaking my last music player setup (AURALiC Aries with Mutec 1.3+ and AURALiC Vega DAC) and I'm already working on another one, a combination of pieces I've bought in the past and some new bits (pun intended) that should fit together... -
Ok so there has been a lot of interest in the media server I mentioned that I was working on. So for now here is the parts list and a bit of info about how I'm going to approach the whole thing.
The motherboard, desktop level motherboards are quite capable these days as well as their processors....
