What media library does everyone use?

I need to prune and care for my collection. Wimamp or swimming through explorer isn't cutting it. I like the look of media player does it but i just don't care for media player in general. I'd like something somewhat visual appealing with good tag/file management and naming. I googled a bunch of stuff, but I'd rather hear about your experiences.

Before I just used iTunes, worked well enough, nothing fancy but got the job done. But then I reformatted and since I didn't have an iPod anymore, couldn't be assed to install it again, so now I just use windows explorer with some nice folder management.

songbird is pretty cool, has a lyrics plugin for music, but I use zune because I own a zune and I like the mixed view and everything

Windows Media Player works like a charm.

Playlists displayed at the side, as well as links to Albums, Artists, All Songs, etc.

Turn off the annoying album art and you have a huge space to list all song details, displayed in the order you want (I have artists alphabetical for all songs, and all playlists are shuffled).

Shows me the music, plays the music, what more could I ask for?

I used Media Monkey to clean up all my music as far as tags go. Most was ok but a handful had to be renamed/titled in a way I like (syntax and what not). Then exported in the file structure I want.. all went smoothly.

Then used Winamp for art.

Nothing, cause I don't care.

As long as there is a name + album name, I'm all set.

iTunes is pretty slow, but in terms of organization and pruning it works really well. Much better than Winamp.

I've found Media Monkey to be the best for tagging etc. Album art can be gay at times though.
