What media player should I use to replace Windows Media Player 11?

Question

I like WMP11 except for one fact: the library is crap. It keeps messing up my tags, it's built in tag editor is useless, and I'm fed up of having to fix the problems it causes. I can't change to itunes becuase I use the WMA format, which itunes refuses to play and I refuse to recode to AAC or MP3.

So what media player can you suggest that is like WMP/itunes but plays WMA and has a library that works?

Answer 1

Winamp pro is far superior to WMP and it handles more file types, also the milkdrop visualisation effects are stunning

Answer 2

Microsoft has just released an compulsory update to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Validation Tool that makes most of the workarounds, hacks, patches and cracks to bypass and skip the WGA validation check useless. Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool was introduced by Microsoft beginning from second half of 2005, where the tool will check and validate your system’s Windows XP whether it is licensed, certified as authentic, and published and supported by Microsoft, before you can obtain programs from the Microsoft Download Center or receive software updates from Windows Update. With the new WGA update, it is now impossible to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage validation check by disabling or turning off WGA Validation Tool in Manage Add-Ons in Internet Explorer. The Enable and Disable settings for WGA Validation Tool no longer selectable, with the option greyed out so that you unable to select Disable to deactivate the WGA ActiveX. Kalra
