I need a freeware MP3 player that has an easy playlist.

What I would like to do is select the file's I wish to,play
and save as my play list. I have media player 9 and can't
seem to create the list the way I want.

Thanks
Bobby

My current favorite is Apollo. http://www.iki.fi/hy/apollo/

I'm not completely sure what you mean by "save as my playlist",
although Apollow allows the queuing, and playing, of files from
Explorer, and also allows saving M3U playlists, if that's what you
mean. It also weighs in at a slim 634 KB (although I believe it may
also require Media Player, or Windows Media Player).

Nice site pity they don't have screenshots. So I aint going to download it.

Whats so hard about putting screenshots...Its not difficult.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for in the way of features...
FWIW I use 1by1. It's no frills, but it does what you asked, it's only
about 90K (without the doc's), has no install/uninstall/add's/etc, and is
free.

see it here (and they have screenshots!!)

My personal favorite is PlayMaster
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/frytech/software.html

If you set it as your associated player you can browse through your
mp3 files in explorer or whatever file browser you use and double
click which songs you want and they are added to your playlist. Then
you can save the playlist to whatever you want, or set Playmaster to
recall the playlist and it will load it up and play it everytime you
run it.
 
Sure it can. From the "help"...

"You can sort your tracks in the file list with the tabs as you know
it from the explorer. Exception: the row that shows the file extension
has a tab labeled "Shfl/Ext". This button enables track shuffling:
files are sorted randomly each time a directory is reloaded. Even the
row shows extension sorting by extension is not possible. To disable
shuffling press one of the other sort buttons. Jumping into random
directories is not possible."

Sort of like that.. (need a fixed width font to see)

It's a good program, doesn't support tagging, and I
don't think it requires Media Player. You might want
to look into a program called The Godfather 0.5 if
you want to be able to change ID3 tags.

Try "Cool Player" from http://www.daansystems.com/

Don't let the ugly default interface fool you. It has a nice play list
selector, very pretty skins with buttons big enough to see, and best of all
it sounds really great. No install is needed. Just unzip and go.

: Right. Thanks for the correction.


Classic? Hummmm....perhaps, if you can get it to work.
I dl'd it twice and all I could get is the ico - little ID that it
was 'classic', but for getting it to play anything: no-go.
I ditched it. Got the machine to playing like before (except
now the windows recorder won't record...sheesh!). After
making sure the sound card, etc were working, I dl'd this
'jewel' again. Again=no go. I uninstalled, cleaned registery
and just said 'forget it'. I have a suggestion since different
posters are using different programs and hardware, how about
a brief id of the machine/os mhz, ram and/or other pertinent
factors/things that dictate or affect whether a given program
will or won't work. For example (I know it isn't freeware but
this is just an example to clarify what I'm saying: WinXP
may be 'good' - but it requires more ram, hd, speed than
perhaps your computer has.... thus this program "A" is
for you a 'no-go' based on your hardware capabilities and
OS. Just mho.

I'll second 1 by 1 ....I like version 1.32 and you kinda need to
scratch around for the codacs ..... but I think it sounds best of all
I've tried ...
and you don't need a play list .....

V1.36 skips about 1/2 my MP3's. Where a good place to 'scratch'
around for more codecs?

Apollo is a great mp3 player. Have you tried out their advanced
playlists? - an awesome way to mine a large collection

Have you looked at Qcd player ?

QCD has been running without fault for quite some time on my sys. It does
everything I want (playlists from v.large folders, eq, Ogg ect.) uses
almost no cpu power and has skins and plugins if you want more.

IMHO the best .Mp3 player there is.

Sorry to hear about that. I run it on Win98 and Win2k Pro here and never
had any problem.

Tell me, can you see those tiny little controls at 1024x768? Can anyone?
Just wondering.

Bob
 
You only have two possibilities...

1. An installed ACM codec (either LAME or FhG). If you don't know
about these and/or don't already have one, just use...

2. mpglib.dll which is available at
