Now that WinAMp is no longer supported (it stopped updating my library on 1/31/15) what Media player do youse guys recommend. I've been trying to figure out how to use Media Monkey. But what I'm finding is that it is hard to find stuff I know I have (mostly due to tagging errors I think, but that should not be a problem for a media player to work properly).

Are there any other (preferably free, but I'll pay for GOOD) media manager/players out there? No I don't want to pay for the Windows Media Player since I'm using Win8.1.

Thanks for any assistance

I used media monkey, seems decent.

I use the free VLC Media Player quite a bit but I haven't used it to organize my library. I use iTunes for organizing everything and usually for playing audio files too. Both are free, powerful, and work well in a Windows environment.
