Alright, I dunno how or why, but Musicmatch fuckin' died on me. What's everyone use to play their music on their machines? Must be free, damnit. & a music library interface similar to Musicmatch would be a plus.

Winamp or Windows Media Player.

iTunes sucks nuts.

Media Player here, too, although usually my music time is on-the-go on an MP3 player or portable XM Radio instead.

For some reason, Media Player wouldn't read half the tracks from a few of my albums. RealPlayer is currently being given its chance not to suck.

I always thought realplayer was a virus.

Music library is something close to what I'm shooting for. Need to check out more software.

Realplayer sucks and I can't disagree with Catt's statement about it being a virus. At the very least, it's spyware.

Winamp or Media Player.

Media Player is Microsoft, right?

Winamp. It also has the old-school coolness.

I'm giving MusicMatch one more fucking chance to install properly. Then I'll probably just resort to WinAmp.

I quit MusicMatch when it was forcing upgrades on itself, then voiding out the registration key I paid for.

I never got anything 'cept the free version. The music library & playlist interface was what kept me hooked.

And WinAmp has emerged victorious.
