Here's the situation.
A person has a quantity of mp3 files on their computer. They want software to easily and intuitively organize it into playlists, and create and burn CDs.
For obvious reasons, Windows Media Player and WinAmp do not meet these requirements.
iTunes almost works, sort of. It's clunky and unintuitive (and if you think it's not, try using it for something other than the handful of use cases Apple designed it around) and has a bad habit of accidentally deleting things on you (playlists can go away a couple of different ways if you're not the sort of person who is not always going to behave as Apple expects you to). Being really good at running an iPod and selling people music isn't helpful if you don't have an iPod and don't want to buy music.
Does anybody else make a music player anymore? Is there anything that can accomplish these (modest, even meager) requirements?
I look upon the state of the art in music players and it seems that things haven't advanced noticeably in the past ten years. Web browsers have the same problem. The state of the art sucks.
If you know of a music player that doesn't suck, please let me know.

You want a player or something to organize on your ipod?
Player: Winamp. (duh)
Organizer: Xplay (a must have). You can add/remove/take off songs and playlists from your ipod. It's just like the way ipod used to be waaaaay back in the day before Apple got all stupid.
Adding to this post... if there's any MP3 player out there that doesn't need to download DRM's, please let me know.
