I am always on the look for a better way to manage my media. I do not download a large amount of video, although I stream/watch quite a good deal of it. I do have lots of mp3 files and tons of podcasts. There are so many choices in this area and not all of them are a good fit for everyone.

I had been using MediaMonkey for a while but the interface is way too cluttered, and just acted weird most of the time. Windows Media Player doesn’t download podcasts. iTunes is bloated. foobar2000 is too simple. Musicbee is a great new player that is aimed at people who want a good deal of customization and choice, but not too much to make it overly complicated. The auto-tagging features work better than any media manager I have used. The creator is very active on the forums and is lightning quick about listening to suggestions and making fixes.

I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a better solution to managing their music library.
