MP3 jukebox software

[undyingking]

What software do you use on your XP PC (if you have one, and do so) to play MP3s?

Do you recommend / disrecommend it?

I've been using Windows Media Player out of laziness default, but it's pretty crashy on my system, so probably about time I changed. In the past I've used RealPlayer and not much liked it, but that was many years ago so it might be better now...

I'm only interested in playing MP3s, not other media or stuff. None of my stuff is DRMed. And I'm not bothered about skins, whizzy animations, or other chrome. Or being able to rip / burn / tag / anything other than play.

And I have quite a lot of files (which may have something to do wth the crashiness), so good capabilities to sort / select / navigate are important.

Oh, I'd forgotten that, I used to use WinAmp even manyer years ago and now can't remember why I stopped.

Does it keep track of how many times you've played a particular file?

(About 13,000 files atm.)

I don't know if maybe the paid-for version does; the free one doesn't. (12800 and change, though some of those are short spoken-word bits of audio book)

Ooh, even the free version seems to, in the History.

It does? Well, there you go ;)
