Agree with WinAmp. Definitely my choice for a media player. I don't bother with libraries.

I find it a lot easier to use than mediaplayer. Here are its basic functions z move back a track x play track c pause track v stop track shift v fade track out control v stop when track ends b move to next track s toggle shuffle mode r toggle repeat mode alt shift t show elapsed time control shift t show remaining time control j allows you to type in a time to jump to within the track j jump to a particular track in the folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: Debbie Breese-Garelick To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 7:50 PM Subject: newbie organizes music Folks, Sorry to be a pain, but I'm a new jfw user. Can some folks tell me what media player they choose to use to play music, and why they use that one? And how do you organize your music files (do you use the library function in the media player, for instance)? Thanks in advance for any hints. --Deb
