Best Program for Organizing Music? (iTunes/Spotify Equivalent?)

Go to solution Solved by WereCat,

Fubar 2000

Was wondering what the best offline program for organizing music is. Just want a simple UI with no ads or with a way to disable them without paying. Would like playlist and organization options.

 

Please recommend me a program you have used or still use!

Thanks!

Media monkey since it has a lot of features out of the box and you can actually fucking sync a device with it so all of that music you organized isn't dead stuck on the PC

Definitely foobar 2000. It can also sync to other things (with an addon). But it supports addons, and it's very responsive and customizable. So yeah, that's what I use, and I love it! (Teksyndicate did a pretty good YouTube Guide on the basics of customization of it. I would check it out, since it's a bit hard to figure it out at first)

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

Do you feel like pointing me to the addon? I'm talking about syncing files with full file structure and playlists accordingly.

 

For what I can see, any addons for Foobar to do something similar are extremely rudimentary and rare.

 

For what it's worth, Mediamonkey supports addons/scripts too but it's not really a big selling point. 

Mediamonkey doesn't directly compete with Foobar, if anything it's more closer to iTunes but with more features and no restrictions.

My biggest problem with Mediamonkey (dabbled with MusicBee too for quite awhile) was how slow it got when asked to deal with a large library, and how much resources it took to keep it that way.  I also had problems with syncing my Android phone (I'm not sure it's any better with foobar as i don't sync playlists... just songs).

Besides being much faster foobar is also far more customizable.  I love it and hope they get the android version of it up and running this year.
