Best alternative to Itunes?

Nephew · 2011-01-04 03:24:22

Since my ipod was stolen I decided to move away from Itunes, and I don't think I'll buy another apple device in the near future. I tried Songbird but it's incredibly sluggish compared to Itunes, my mp3 collection is in excess of 100gb which probably doesn't help its fluidity. Can anyone recommend a decent alternative?

I have an old second generation iPod so I don't use it much, I tend to just use my HTC Desire for music. But that's not compatible, however I still use iTunes to this day as my main music player, it's just a lot better.

But that's personal opinion and not what you asked.

I'd reccommend WinAmp, give that a go and see what you think

Mediamonkey or foobar200. I think are the best out there. I use mediamonkey myself and swear by it. Just try them all out and see which one suits you.
