Can't say i've had any issues with itunes.

Pretty easy to use

Music recognition? You mean it'll recognise CD's when you insert them and show album art, track names etc? itunes does that better than wmp imo.

I'm on the lookout too. I'm real picky when it comes to how the programs sort and display albums/artists.

Have tried out quite a few different programs. Used to use winamp, but just started trying media player 11 and like how it shows the album cover icons when browsing your albums. there's probably a winamp plug in that does it to though?? I did have one that would display the cover while playing and one that would auto search download from amazon for winamp (though many covers weren't found), but it's great being able to see the covers before playing anything in media player - would be good if it sorted the albums by year within each artist when browsing by artist - can only do one or the other - unless I haven't found that option yet?

I used winamp originally to rip all my cds, and rename many things manually. One cool thing with Media Player is if you've downloaded songs for an album from various sources - it might show up as 2 or 3 different album icons, but then you just drag and drop from one to the other and it renames. Also handy is drag and drop album covers for files with no cover showing up.

Neither seem to be good for 2 disc cds or soundtracks/various artists/split eps/multiple artists on one song ('featuring' etc) - I guess thats more to do with mp3 tags though. Would be cool to have 'Various Artists' or 'Soundtrack' without using genre, as all the other bands genre is messed up, and often multiple genres. Browsing by artist, VA/Soundtracks break up, which is cool - what I want, but score soundtracks - who the hell remembers who wrote the score for say Hellraiser? and how do I get The Fountain soundtrack to show up under each of Mogwai, Clint Mansell, & Kronos Quartet (I have other albums by all of them). And two disc cds annoy me too - what do others do for these? I have them as two different albums named disc 1 and disc 2 - would be good to group them as one album, but still keep them seperate - don't always want to play a remix bonus disc as well as the album if I've combined them. Anyway, enough of my rant :o Anyone worked out ways to get around any of that?
