First let me apologize for a dupe post, but the thread I found when I searched was outdated and did not provide a very good answer.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 I know of things like macAmp but it seems very outdated...2, 3 years old?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!
