Media Jukebox 4.0
Media Jukebox (download) uses RealPlayer and Microsoft Windows Media Player to play audio and video files, but it provides an interface that gives you a lot of power over your music (alas, style is not its strong point). The crowded toolbar consists of buttons that let you effortlessly import music files, rip CDs at up to 320 Kbps, use CBR or VBR encoding, write to CDs, convert file types, record digital music from any outside source that can be plugged into your line-in jack, and organise your media files in a gratifyingly large number of ways.You also get one-click access to music on the Internet -- download sites, radio sites, and TV sites, which conveniently appear right within the interface. If you have an impulse to buy the song you're listening to, click the Buy CD button and Media Jukebox searches buying sites for that song. Media Jukebox can also download your music to a wide variety of portable players, among them the Creative Nomad and the Creative Nomad II, the S3 Rio 300 and 500, and Microsoft Windows CE devices. By the time you read this, a new version of the player, with even more functionality, should be available.
Price: Free download.
