I agree with
The Oolong Man's implications of
Musicmatch Jukebox's problem. It is too
tyrannical. It does too much automatically, without asking. If you use
TweakUI to disable cd-autoplay, then tough. Every time
MMJB starts it turns it back on. In
Win9X I disabled auto-insert at the hardware level, but in
Win2k I can't find that, and it's just plain obnoxious no matter what.
In the latest version of
MMJB I too can not get it to stop bugging me about claiming file formats.
It is buggy. It just now(last version I think) started having real
playlist use - a couple versions ago I wanted to open a
playlist I created in
Winamp and burn it to a cd--Musicmatch would only let me open playlists created in
musicmatch, or residing in my "
My Music" folder(which I don't use).
I personally find Musicmatch to be extremely slow and
kludgy, despite running it on 600
mhz machines with 128
mb RAM. It has
flashy and
useless stuff that you can't get rid of. I often hit "hidden" links in the interface, which go slowly launching a
web browser when I was just trying to drag the player over a few pixels.
Musicmatch isn't free(its disabled
shareware).
Winamp and
CDex(and other
ripping utilities) are completely free, and
IMO faster, more stable, and just plain better.
Regardless, I've used Musicmatch Jukebox a whole lot for ripping cds, and would probably have paid for the
full version if not for the problems listed above.
