I've used jetAudio for years. But I don't use it as a media organiser. I just organise everything in its directory and use jA to play everything.

I haven't found an audio source that it wasn't able to natively play and I also use it to watch videos (it plays .mkvs well and even can natively play Real Media, but doesn't work so well with anything Apple); burn/rip CDs; convert audio types, say, from .flac to .mp3; trim audio files, like when there's a 5 minutes silence because of a 'secret' track and supposedly you can also use it to record audio with an equaliser to process it and things like low/high-pass filters, but I've never used that. It has a skinnable interface, but I control most things with hotkeys and have a playlist autohide to the left of the screen so I hardly ever see it.

If you decide to have a look at this one, I'd suggest 'buying' the paid version.


I'm gonna have a look at Media Monkey, it looks snazzy.
