I don't usually like the idea of jukebox as they tend to be not the best of everything. ( Ripping the best is EAC, playing is winamp, manging music is MAC )And they tend to be menory monster that take up a lot of memory.

And all three program named above is what i currently use.

However after i saw Media Jukebox, it is quite interesting to see tat it has secure ripper, support for all sound format etc....

So what do you think of Media JukeBox 8?? And what do you think of jukebox as general ?? Do you prefer using individual program for a function or does jukebox offer the same function?

Apart from Media Jukebox, what other jukebox have you use and how do they compare??

Media Jukebox rocks. I've been using it since version 6, and 8 is hands down the best all-in-one out there. J. River is one of the best companies I've had the pleasure of working with. They listen and act on user input and they are very willing to help out developers expanding their product.

Media Jukebox's good points:
- Fast
- Small memory footprint (5 MB on my machine with 1200 files queued up)
- Secure ripper (although I still use EAC)
- Expandable (there are boatloads of SDKs available for almost every aspect of the program)
- Easy to use
- Highly customizable organization
- Cheap. I would be willing to pay twice their asking price of $25 US.
- Boatloads of neat features.

Media Jukebox's bad points:
- The license may be too restrictive for some. You're allowed to restore your license 6 times per year before you need to repurchase the application. If you have a 7.0 license, you won't have to worry about this. There is still a free version, but I'm not sure what is disabled when the trial expires.

MusicMatch, Real, and Windows Media Player... I've used them all and they don't even compare. They're all slow, unexpandable, sloppy, and rushed.

I highly recommend you download it and give it a try. If you're looking for an organizer and/or all-in-one, you won't be sorry.

what about WinAmp???

Well, I was comparing MJ with other popular jukebox/all-in-ones. Winamp and MJ are like apples and oranges in my opinion. I happily use both.

I'll second Trelane on MJ, You can't really compare Winamp and MJ.

I will just add that MJ is absolutely a must when you have a big collection of
music files to manage.
Importing, organizing and finding a particular song among tenth of thousands can be tricky with
MMJB and RJB !
And when your collection is a mixture of APEs, MPCs and few MP3s you can't really use another
jukebox.

Yeah, Trelane is right. Is a very good music program, even that I almost cut my veins trying to restore my licence.
