Free, full featured music jukebox with loads of extra tools
Once you get used to a certain media player you feel somehow obliged to be faithful to it, which is certainly a mistaken attitude as it prevents you from discovering great tools like J.River Media Jukebox.
If the player you've been using until now is iTunes you already know how to use Media Jukebox, because the program resembles the Apple media player both in appearance and functionality. And if not, the learning curve won't take long thanks to Media Jukebox's intuitive design.
Like I said this program looks like iTunes a lot. On the one hand I wonder if this is going beyond any legal limits - as regards plagiarism. On the other hand, it makes Media Player very familiar and easy to use. Resemblances aside, the program features just about anything you would ask for in a full featured music player: from a library manager with which to organize your music collection to an embedded player, including a tag editor, a CD ripping tool, a CD burning tool and support for online podcasts, album art cover display and handheld music device synchronization.
Media Jukebox features a sleek dark interface organized in several areas and some extra details that add a spicy taste like the different 3D effects you can apply to the album cover art, the great smart playlist creation tool or the ability to download plug-ins from the developer's site to improve or add new functions to the program.
Summing up, J. River Media Jukebox is an excellent media suite where you'll find all the tools you'll ever need to organize, manage and enjoy your favorite music.

MJ 14 SUCKS!!!!!!.
I really hate version 14. I've been using my registered version of mj 8 for years and i love it. That was before you added all the goofy shi*t i despise. 14 doesn't allow for album artists in a mutiple artist album. For instance, dr. Demento albums have multiple artists so 14 puts it in a multiple artist folder and the dr. Demento is nowhere to be found. And if i try to make the album as a dr. Demento album it loses all the artists names. That's just the first problem. It virtually destroyed my music library with all the goofy sh*t. Fortunately i made backups and was able to restore my library to it's logical order. Mj-8 is simple, clean, and efficient. It allows me to alter file properties with a single click or whole album with a single click. But i rue the day i installed 14 and it cost me dearly in time and sanity. More

superior to iTunes in many ways.
Superior mostly in speed. iTunes is bloated garbage in comparison. options are similar so you should feel like it's lacking anywhere either. More

Be careful..
Stick with the free version, because if you buy it you are essentially paying to be a beta tester. The CEO does not believe that you are paying for support and many things remain broken for a very long time. Proceed with caution. More
