Post-Desktop Era windows media player never really did it for me... I would use iTunes because it was easy to use but then sometime around 2011 it tried modernizing and just became a cluttered mess (it's a little better now) After iTunes I tried Rhapsody and it had cool featured but it would freeze all the time... I tried a few others but I couldn't shake off the feeling they were spam/malware after research I found Media Monkey. It is a bit of a mix of rhapsody and old itunes, not perfect but good. Balances Volume levels and transitions songs really well.
