For me, iTunes is junk cause its so buggy (I really liked the older versions of iTunes which were alot lighter).

I'm currently on WMP, it's not bad. Going to give MediaMonkey ago.

Which software do YOU, humble poster, use for playing music and organising large (1TB + ) collections?

Just stating the amount of space your music takes up is useless. Depending on the bitrate/codec, someone with 1 TB of music could have the same amount of tunes if it's all FLAC vs someone with 500 GB of music where it's all mp3's.

I keep my music in a folder directory structure (Language, Band/Artist/Movie) I do not have an ipod or actually any dedicated portable audio device (unless you count my cell phone or car).

I've got 206 GB of music in 37,313 files (subtract about 10% for misc files for an estimated number of songs)

The latest Winamp with an aero WMP skin.

I use MediaMonkey, but I already have all my music organized by folders...

I mostly use it to listen to internet radio anyways.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

iTunes in Windows. Trying to get Banshee working in Linux, but for some reason it refuses to.

 

[MarkXIX]

Zune, but now Google Music Beta

 

[fixxor]

Been using winamp classic forever. But recently just got fed up with it freezing for about a minute at a time then catching up. Found AIMP2 and I really like it because it pretty much is like winamp. But in the taskbar is shows that stupid green progress bar that really bugs the crap out of me. I'm gonna try foobar...

 

[AFurryReptile]

Subsonic, exclusively. It's nice having all my music available to me wherever I am.

 

[Mike Gayner]

WMP. Itunes is like playing music in a spreadsheet.

 

[PottedMeat]

Winamp 2.91 for music. When i want to listen to something i just flip through the folders in windows explorer. everything is organized by artist/album, soundtrack, or singles

 

[amdhunter]

winamp

 

[tokie]

iTunes on OS X. I say on OS X because iTunes is good on Mac, while on Windows it sucks the big one.

 

[Brainonska511]

Winamp on my desktop

WMP on my laptop (because the hotkeys only work with that)

 

[Kadarin]

iTunes on OSX here.

 

[tonygeor]

Pandora!

 

[So]

Foobar at work for portability (off my external hdd), winamp at home because I've been using it since 1997 and am really comfortable with the UI.

winamp at home because I've been using it since 1997 and am really comfortable with the UI.

I don't even use Winamp for the UI (though, the Modern Skin is pretty good). I just like the Jump to File feature - I haven't really seen a similar implementation in any other music software.

 

[grrl]

foobar - I only wish it had direct track access like a file manager (i.e. type the first couple of letters of the file name.)
