MP3 Players

You need an mp3 player to play your mp3s. Here are the top 10 with descriptions and links to download them. There are many more, but they are not as good - you can go here to see the rest. The rating scale goes from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).

MusicMatch 2.4

This is a great piece of software. It not only plays mp3s, but can also create mp3s, manage your mp3s from the web and encoded from your CDs, show album covers and lyrics. However, you can only encode 5 songs with the shareware.
