The latest version actually does have an integrated library function:

okay.. trying to use the latest version of qmp.. but it's not working. and i'm really weirded out and annoyed. when i try to play a song, i get no sound, and the track timer thing is moving at like triple time.

You weren't happy with Foobar2000? I'll never look back. You also might wanna check out Media Player Classic.

does foobar have a library function? i've tried so many players i can't even remember which is which now.
it is mandatory for the player to have the library function. i have over 13000 songs and i hate having to make a playlist every time i wanna listen to something. i like to type the first part of the band i have in mind, have it jump right there, then i double click and it starts. qmp would be perfect if i could just figure out what the fuck is up with the playback.

Yeah; you create playlists in tabs, like your internet browser; and they save.

yeah, i don't like having to make a playlist. and i'm constantly updating my music, i don't want to have to recreate my library playlist every time. nor do i want to wait for the 13k long playlist to load up every time.

Well, I've never used the playlist feature; it might be more well-featured than I'm making it out to be. You should also look into Media Player Classic and VLC player; they play audio files too.

i know they play audio.. but it's not just the playing function i want. i want the player to display my entire audio library for my browsing purposes.
why is this so difficult for me? bagh.

I'd say iTunes, but it seems to be a load on the computer for me. I don't know why people bitch about it all the time though, seems fine to me.

itunes takes up too much processing power and it doesn't play wma's. i've still got a significant amount of wma's from before i realized how much they suck, but i still don't want to lose those albums.

Foobar is great. It does take a while to set it up good but it's worth it.Here is a link to a good config + set up guide. It has a playlist tree which is what you are looking for, you just tell it what directories and it lists it all in a expanding/collapsing tree. Looks like this....

well i've gotten pretty far with foobar... i definitely like it better now that i'm starting to understand it and it has the nifty black skin. but i'm still a bit confused. i guess i'll learn as i go.
i can't find the volume thingy though

Used to use winamp but now library is so huge I needed something to manage it. Foobar is perfect, it takes a bit to set it up but once that's done you have a perfect, highly customizable library.

bagh to wmp. not a fan. foobar is quickly growing on me now that i'm starting to understand how to customize. it's very quick, doesn't use much resources, really diggin' it. but it does hiccup every now and then, and that can get annoying.

Yeah I like Windows Media Player just fine. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't listen to .pls

You should convert all your MP3s to TXT documents.

If I understand you correctly your main problem with winamp was it used too much resources.
Why don't you just get more resources for your computer?
