Media Jukebox - Free media player

Media Jukebox is the world’s first universal media player. It allows users to organize and play all the popular music files available on the Internet, including Real Media, MusicEx files, mp3, QuickTime, Audible, Microsoft Windows Media and LiquidAudio. The Jukebox is the consumer component that enables secure sales and licensing of music and other media files.

The program mimics the iTunes interface in a way that could benefit from more inspiration, but it doesn’t stop the extras from shining through. You’ll be able to burn and rip CDs, sync with just about any portable including iPods, tag tracks, and convert files to several popular formats. It has browser support, letting you buy music from Amazon and plug-ins for several services including Last.fm so you can find new music based on your taste. You also have your choice of skins you can download to give your player a new look. Playlists are also supported. Developer’s website: http://www.mediajukebox.com/

The J. River Media Jukebox is a stripped-down but free version of the popular J. River Media Center. Popular in its own right, Media Jukebox uses the same interface as its big brother to deliver a feature set that’s anything but little, but strictly limited to music support. Those in search of video and image compatibility will need to download the Media Center.
