ConcubinaryCode 09.18.15	Windows Media Player is always an alternative.
Sinternet 09.18.15	MediaMonkey is the best alternative for me, although I mainly use it to transfer music to my Android phone.
Relinquished 09.18.15	foobar
treeqt. 09.18.15	foobar, next question
KrazyKris 09.18.15	MusicBee is pretty good from what I hear, though I just use the WMP.
smaugman 09.18.15	but u can download iTunes on windows, why not just stick with it?
KILL 09.18.15	yea foobar u gota learn a bit to set it up but its pretty easy if you arent retarded
DustyTill 09.18.15	MusicBee
Valkyrion 09.18.15	foobar is all you need
KILL 09.18.15	itunes sucks smaug bro resource hoggin slow ass apple piece of shit
zakalwe 09.18.15	What's the go to then kill son? I can't be fucked dicking about with shit downloads and what have you.
ChoccyPhilly 09.18.15	Yeah, iTunes had issues of its own but i'll definitely take it compared to the shit default player i currently have
KILL 09.18.15	i said dude foobar but you might be a bit long in the tooth to set it up i dno it might take a lil bit of fiddlin about to get it in a layout you like but hey its worth it cos flac and asio and waveform bar which is the best ever made
zakalwe 09.18.15	Fuck messing around, I'll give it a go though just to get with the times.
KILL 09.18.15	thats the spirit!
treeqt. 09.18.15	the only annoying thing with foobar is that .m4a files aren't completely compatible you can play them most of the time but it will crash if the file name includes any (i assume) non-ascii characters. last time i checked there was no fix for this but you rarely run into that problem anyway with how rare .m4a is.
bloc 09.18.15	Musicbee rules. Plus you can sync your ipod with it
beefshoes 09.18.15	Foobar is the best, but I really enjoy the Zune player also (especially for burning CDs).
granitenotebook 09.18.15	basically I just alternate between foobar for playing like one track or some local album or whatever cause its so lightweight. eventually maye I'll organize it so I can use it to browse my library. but otherwise I use spotify. basically iTunes is really nice by default but it's kind of slow compared to fb2k, spotify is also heavy but it's cheap + you can play most things. fb2k is probably the best if you put work into it (and I suspect not that much is actually neccesary)
bakkermaarten007 09.18.15	"Musicbee rules" [2 ] Can't go wrong with music bee
facupm 09.18.15	spotify?
bakkermaarten007 09.19.15	Music bee: - put mp3 tags and images in your songs' original files -super easy to add whatever folder you want to your library - customize with many themes and plug-ins as you like - customize your shortcuts as you like - nice way of adding songs to the cue (add as last or as next to play) - full equalizer - small ram usage No promotor for musicbee, but it just rules and the developer deserves more honour.
bakkermaarten007 09.19.15	Oh yeah, and last.fm integration and direct links to songlyrics database is an added plus
Sinternet 09.19.15	How good is musicbee for syncing android devices? I might convert if it's good
bakkermaarten007 09.19.15	"Are there any other decent alternatives somewhere in the microsoft app store that won't cost much or anything? I did try to see if iTunes was available but I don't think it is, sadly." You do know that only mobile apps are in the app store right? You can run them on any Windows device, but if you have a laptop you could just download desktop apps all the same.
bakkermaarten007 09.19.15	Music bee is just awesome sinternet. Don't know about syncing android devices, 'cause all I ever do IF I use my phone (hardly) is drag and drop.
Sinternet 09.19.15	I'll give it a try. I like the look of the UI and it's got a lot of good mentions.
Sevengill 09.19.15	iTunes is still my player (I have two iPods so it makes life easy). 11 sucks though so I got the iTunes 10 install file off my old laptop.
Sinternet 09.19.15	The latest is 12.1 isn't it? I only use iTunes for ripping tbh
ChoccyPhilly 09.19.15	Tried Musicbee. I liked the layout and everything but importing my files from my Sansa proved to be almost impossible
Sevengill 09.19.15	I dunno, is 12 better than 11? I have a borderline fetish for playlists. My car counted over 200.
SmileNerd 09.19.15	Spotify and Bandcamp.
Halfman 09.19.15	winamp.
ChoccyPhilly 09.20.15	Tried musicbee, the wmp I could find and fb2000. Gotta say, foobar is by far the best. cheers guys
granitenotebook 09.21.15	yeah I've been using that lately too. do you use any skins/themes?
JWT155 09.21.15	I live by Spotify now. I used to spend hours a week trying to find new music online, downloading, realizing it's crap quality, organizing my music library, etc. Now, almost anything I want to is at my fingertips at all times. Completely worth the investment.
SharkTooth 09.21.15	can't you use a web browser and download itunes online?
beefshoes 09.21.15	Foobar is so damn fast too.
