I use Media Monkey Gold (I got it free). I can rip, burn, convert, get rid of duplicates and it works with Winamp pluginsyou can now download media player classic pro its a new version make you watch boxmovies with HD qualityhttp://goo.gl/XFCl7SI think you mean FREE media players. Because the Best Media player on earth is J.River Media Center. http://jriver.com/MediaMonkey + Foobar2000 are my favoritesThere is no all-in-one solution I've found that works. For audio, Foobar is the nicest I've found for CD->FLAC. For video, combinations of AnyDVD HD (I own it), handbrake (free) and DVDFab (too expensive to update any further, so looking for other options) do what I need to do.1. CyberLink PowerDVD 12 UltraRating: Rated 8 out of 10The best DVD/Blu-ray player software available is morphing into an organizer/player for all types of media. It's not cheap, and it utilises a lot of your PC's resource, but there is no better media software out there. AIMP 3AIMP (free) is the player most likely to restore a Winamp fans faith in the natural order of the universe. Indeed, tiny buttons and text abound. Wisecracks aside, I personally find AIMP a lot easier to fathom and use than Winamp.aimp 31AIMP 3 is handsome, easy to use, and reminiscent of Winamp 2. AIMP has tons of effects, some of them rather nice psychoacoustic enhancements.Its also chock-full of surprises, such as very good pitch and tempo variation, a good bass enhancer, and even a decent spatial effect. Im not much into chorus, echo, flange and reverb, when applied to entire songs, but those are there as well.AIMP serves as a very good organizer without taking up a lot of space, provides top-notch tag editing, and is a surprisingly able format converter that outputs APE, FLAC, MusePack 98, OGG Vorbis, wave, WavePack, and WMA. There are dozens of other options to dig into, and you shouldtheres something about AIMP that inspires the inner audiophile.The winner of our roundup was SMPlayer. It wasn't the quickest player to launch and load files, but it never took more than two seconds, which we think is an acceptable wait. It excelled where it mattered though - in CPU and memory performance. Thanks to a maximum memory footprint of just 80MB, and average CPU utilisation just that little bit more efficient than the other two players on the podium, SMPlayer emerges as the best performing media player for 2014.-------------MusicBeePlatform: WindowsPrice: FreeDownload PageFeatures Manages all your media and supports a number of formats including MP3, AAC, M4A, MPC, OGG, FLAC, APE, Opus, TAK, WV, WMA and WAV.

Should I Be Using Something Else?Dear Lifehacker, I feel like every time I browse a music forum online, people are hating on iTunes. Read moreMusicBee only has one active developer working in his spare time, but it's also updated pretty darn often, has a great wiki, and a helpful forum where the developer is very active.Where It Falls ShortAs the jack of all trades, there are always other players that will be masters of one, and such is the case with MusicBee. It's very customizable, but not as insanely customizable as foobar2000. It has some useful advanced tagging and syncing features, but doesn't quite reach the power of MediaMonkey. If you need to sync lots of iOS devices, MusicBee will prove problematic (which is Apple's fault more than MusicBee's), and you might be stuck with iTunes, MediaMonkey (which can sync more iOS devices), or a third-party program like Copy TransManager just for syncing.MusicBee also has a few other small annoyances. For example, MP3 and AAC encoders need to be installed separately due to licensing reasons, but anyone advanced enough to require the conversion features should have no problem installing these separate programs.The CompetitionAs we mentioned at the top, your choice of music player is a personal one, and what we consider the "best" isn't really the best for everyonethat's not possible. Our goal with the App Directory is to pick the best application for the majority of people, especially those unfamiliar with the available apps. If you've tried MusicBee and don't love it, here are some other great options.MediaMonkey: We debated between MediaMonkey and MusicBee for a long time before settling on MusicBee. MediaMonkey does have a few other featureslike iOS syncing and DLNA sharingbut it isn't quite as good-looking or as lightweight as MusicBee. Most importantly, however, is that some of MediaMonkey's featuresincluding smart playlists, on-the-fly conversions, advanced searching, automatic library organization, and othersrequire a $25 version license or $50 lifetime license to access. Considering that these features are all available for free with MusicBee, it was hard to recommend the more limited MediaMonkey as the best player. Still, depending on your needs, it may be ideal for you.How to Ditch iTunes Forever and Keep Syncing Your iOS DevicesThe iPhone and iPad are great devices, but unfortunately, Apple heavily tethers them to iTunes,Read moreWinamp: Winamp may be dead, but it's still a pretty solid player. It doesn't do much that MusicBee and MediaMonkey don't (Shoutcast support being one exception), but if you long for the llama-whipping days of the 90s or like its expansive list of skins, it could be worth a try.Foobar2000: Foobar2000 is extremely lightweight and insanely customizable. It won't do much but play and tag music out of the box, but it also has a lot of plugins that let you customize its features to a ridiculous level. It's a bit more difficult to use than Winamp or MediaMonkey, though, especially when you first start customizingso it's really a better player for advanced users that want to tweak every dark corner of the player.iTunes: We aren't huge fans of iTunes on Windows, but if you're an iPhone user, it's certainly the easiest way to sync your music, apps, playlists, and other info to your phone (since it was made for it). That's pretty much the only reason to use it in our opinion, though, and even then, MediaMonkey can still sync to iDevices quite nicely, so we'd try that first.These are some of the biggest ones, but there are still a ton of others, like Windows Media Player, the Zune Player, AIMP3, Clementine, and even VLC (though we'd be hard pressed to call that a fully-featured music library program). The best thing you can do when looking for a music player on Windows is try a few out. If you don't feel like sifting through a ton of players, though, I'll eat my hat if you can't make MusicBee work the way you want it to.------------
