I've just received my computer back from the shop I bought it ... Whilst it was still in warranty, the power supply failed on me.

So I had to re-install everything and when I browse through my library, Media player is prompting me to download a user license (how very annoying if you have thousands of albums) ...

Does anyone uses other equivalent programmes that are a little more user friendly ?

Thanks
Boris

I'm not 100% certain it is what you are looking for, but it seems to be able to play anything, give it a look.

And hospcotch ... You can f*ck just right off you stupied excuse of a human being

I use winamp and I'm happy with it, but I gotta say I don't use the library function. I just add single songs or entire albums... if that's what you wanna do, winamp is perfect... dunno bout the library function 😕

WinAmp (with a plug-in) can also play high quality "lossless" audio, like FLACs.

VLC is good, but it hasn't a library function (as far as I know)

iTunes supports AAC (mp4), AIFF, MP3 and WAV files. Uses Quicktime.
