musicmatch jukebox.

Well, I got a blue screen a few days ago, and me hard drive has gone tits up. It's no longer with us. It's met it's maker. It's an ex hard drive.
No real problem though because I'm one of those boring bastards that back files up. So I spent a few bob and bunged in a new one.

Unfortunately!
MMJB is nowhere to be found on my back-up drives. Well call me old fashioned but MMJB is without question the finest jukebox previously available. Forget 'Old versions.com' forget After dawn and forget Google. None of them can help if you are looking for a workable 'Musicmatch72.exe'. It's been Yahooed.
On September 14 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_14), 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004) Yahoo! announced that it was going to acquire Musicmatch. The acquisition was completed on October 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_19), 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004) for a reported price of US $160 million.

Before you say Windows Media player will do the same thing: yes I know it will. But I want my full screen MMJB phaze II media library back.

Any recommendations for a full screen capable jukebox?

I'm currently listening to UFOs "Rock Bottom." Live version of course, all else is gaslight!

And yes: I'm wrecked.

I tried MMJB for a while and removed it for some reason - spyware, I think. I have been using Winamp (www.winamp.com)ever since.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Take heart from your fine musical taste though.

I've been using Pandora, one of the several "programmable" stations. You input a couple of artists and/or songs, and the thing pulls up similar tunes and artists. Seems to work well; for now.
There was just an article up on the various tech sites about how all these sorts of internet stations may be either in for hard times or doomed, due to the increased royalty payments from such services.
Some are going to on-screen ads, but since most folks minimize these stations to background or tray items...
I listened to Pandora for the last couple of months while on midnights; I'd put it on the police car laptop and just let it run.

I too miss MusicMatch. Tried Yahoo!'s version and didn't like it. They stripped a lot of what was good in MM from the program. It's hard to find the perfect player. I've tried every major media player and each one has something I like and/or find useful. It would be nice to just morph those features into one SuperPlayer.

Tried MusicMatch way back when (must have been around 2000). Abandoned it for a handful of reasons: Spy/Adware. Bloat. Bugs. Although fast, its MP3 encoder was pretty lousy.
From there, I went on to WinAMP for a couple of years. The only things I ever liked about MMJB were its tagging capabilities and its library feature.

Nowadays I use foobar2000.

I am a big fan of Media Monkey. Free and very useful.

I’m sorry I didn’t get back to this post till now.
Many thanks to all for the suggestions. I’ve twiddled, diddled, messed and fiddled with most of them. And the last man standing is Media Monkey. If I were asked to say why it’s better than Winamp I wouldn’t have a bloody clue, it’s a subjective thing I suppose.
Why I persisted with mmjb so long I’ve no idea. Call it sentiment eh? :blush:
