First let me apologize for a dupe post, but the thread I found when I searched was outdated and did not provide a very good answer.

I'm looking for a good, free, mp3 playing/cd burning alternative to iTunes, that may very well be 2 separate apps. Hopefully something open source. I know of things like macAmp but it seems very outdated...2, 3 years old? Is there anything current being developed?

As a sidenote, am I the only one who thinks iTunes is incredibly awkward? I am a converting windows Winamp user, and I spent almost an hour getting frustrated to tears trying to figure out how to just drag a list of mp3's from a folder to a playlist in iTunes and have it's ordering remain intact! There is no way to sort by filename?? iTunes kept "sorting" my playlist by alphabetical order or some other order I could not identify. People put tracknumbers in filenames for a reason...so they are easy to sort!

Instead of trying to fight against iTunes, work with it. And you can change the sort order by choosing the column you want to sort by (and if the column you need isn't there, right-click or control-click on the header to add it).
