iTunes built, and then broke, my meticulous music-listening system

Any great replacements for Windows?

* foobar is the most feature-rich, but requires a lot of customization and the auto-move functionality is not on par with iTunes file organization tool

* MediaMonkey is nice but the interface is lacking in simplicity compared to iTunes

I personally use Clementine, which I think is excellent, especially how it lets you browse by album rather than just Artist like some other programs.

I've been using Clementine for the past few years, too. It's really a nice "simple" interface.

I tried to use Clementine every few months for a while but had SQLite crashes every time.

For me, foobar's killer feature is the tree view that can be sorted by any tag, even user-defined tags. I wish there was something like that for Linux. Unfortunately, any time I've tried to run foobar on WINE it has sucked. Maybe I should write my own, but I don't have that kind of spare time.

The Android version of foobar doesn't have the organizing abilities, either.

I really like MusicBee - seems to fill my winamp hole for the most part https://getmusicbee.com/
