Music Player.
I am looking for a music player.
When I am in the shed I have music playing all the time. A fringe benefit is that it drowns out the all the indigenous culture.
When I had an android phone I downloaded all my music on it. 1000's of songs which was good, I was able to drive to Adelaide and back without listening to the same song twice.
When I transitioned to an iPhone I tried to download all my music onto it, it would only let me download 1200 songs and it it arranged it in an alphabetical order
I use spotify at home, which is OK but they are a bit limited with the selection.
Looking on the hinternet I came across these,
JRiver Media Center
They want $79.98, dont know how long for?
Then if you $59.98 want to use another system, soo their will be 3 operating system in this house.
Gracenote Global Music Data
Which I cant find any thing about.:vangry:
Plex
Supposed to be free.
Groove Music
Which windoze installed on my computer, then deleted all the cover picture that was on the song and replaced it with there stupid emblem.
Is there any thing better that you use, a free app would be the best.

Media Player
Wm460
Google MediaMonkey, there's a free version & 2 licensed. On the first google page there is a link to 28 other players reviewed.
First tried it about 10 years ago, heard it's got more features now.

I had the same problem about listening to music in the shed.
I obtained an old car radio/cd player. I can put all of the MP3's on a several CD's and hey presto.
If you got an upmarket model they have USB connections so you can put music on thumb drives.
Now for a bit more detail.
You need a case and a power supply and maybe speakers (although they may come with the unit).
I used an old desktop PC case and purchased a 12v power supply from Jaycar which can be left on. Being a woodie, you could make your own box.
From memory I thought of using a PC power supply (which fits in the case nicely) and has a 12volt rail. I think they need a dummy load on the 5v rail, being a switch mode PSU. I did not like leaving it on all of the time, as below.
If you need more info, I can pull my unit apart and have a look.
If you want to listen to the radio you would need to leave the PSU turned on when the player was powered off otherwise you will need to re-tune the stations each time.
You don't have this problem in a car because the radio is connected to the accessory switch and always has power.
When I made my unit there were lots of players around for free or next to nothing because the young blokes want bigger system with more noise power.
