AskWoody LoungerTry j river media jukebox version 12 (Their FREE version) which handles only music files:
or j river media center (not FREE but has free trial) which handles many different types of media including graphics, television, and video:
http://www.jriver.com/download.html
Here is what they say:
Media Center — Audio, Video, Images, & Television
It’s the best software available for media. Play your media wherever you are.
Media Center is
More than a world class player. It’s also a Media Network, a whole house music, movie, TV, and photo solution.
The leader in audiophile quality sound.
The most powerful media database available; an essential tool for large collections
An endless source of satisfaction for tweakers and developers
Media Center plays
More file formats than any other player
Connected media from Last.fm, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube. And it sends to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter.
Supports more cell phones, MP3 players, DLNA, and other devices
Powers an HTPC to entertain your family. Even different playback in multiple zones.
And
It can record high definition TV, and provide a replacement for cable TV. It has a Theater View interface, controllable by a Media Center Remote, an iPad, iPhone, Android, a Windows netbook or Touchscreen. MC is a DirectShow player.
Obsessive taggers will be delighted with cover art and metadata options. And MC backs up your work so you can sleep at night. Until MC wakes you up again. -

AskWoody LoungerWhen creating passwords use special characters that are not on the top row (above the numbers). People tend to use the special characters that are not on the top row (above the numbers) more and make solving your password easier if you limit your password to those special characters.
Make your password more complex by using other special characters.Also, as said above, use virtual credit card #s online. Many banks have them now.
When I am buying online I open a separate window to my bank account and create a virtual # seconds before making a purchase. It is tied to my real credit card and ready for use immediately.
I then type in the virtual # on the other website and make my purchase.
