HELLO THERE I COME FROM THE FUTURE
I'm done with iTunes after it randomly jumbled my entire music library into a single folder. (I had a backup to restore from.)
Winamp is dead, and Foobar is kind of intense.

I'm just looking for something I can point to my music folder, and play without having to jerk off over my interface for an hour.
As tribute for this knowledge I offer this:

Use iTunes and either don't ask it to Consolidate Library, or give up on sperging about the exact structure of your pirated mp3 files on disk and let it handle everything.

Winamp is still available and works fine, or the Foobar thread could probably help you tame it. I think Winamp remains the correct answer.

Foobar is as intense as you'd like it to be. In the Quick Setup it gives you when you first start it, I just selected the top layout option, selected the Dark Grey Orange colour scheme, and I was done.

I use J River Media Center, but it's most likely overly beefy for your needs, and a bit spendy. Still, I like it.

Yeah, what exactly is dead about Winamp? You'll never be playing a FLAC file in iTunes and it's obviously a piece of poo poo, whereas Winamp still works perfectly and is lightning fast. What more development work does it really need pray tell?

I've been using MusicBee for a couple of years now. It's rather good!

I payed for a copy of MediaMonkey a while ago and have been happily using it for years now.

MediaMonkey is my favorite by far- it works well with large music libraries and hits the right sweet spot between "works well/looks nice out of the box" and "is extremely configurable." The paid version is not necessary unless you are a major sperg about how your music is organized.

I really like MusicBee, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted.

Thanks!

I use the default Music player with Windows 8 since it has connected standby support (which means I can put my tablet to sleep and it still plays music). Not the greatest program in the world but it's pretty decent once you turn off all the settings that mess with your files and point it to a folder.



And if you press the little minus box, it brings it out to alphabet so it's pretty easy to jump around if you have a lot of music.
