Yeah, Quintessential Player has the best tag editor I've ever seen. It is simply THE ONLY program I've been able to type in the song titles in cyrillic. One feature that looks cool is the QuickTrack feature. If you right-click the track name you get a pull-down menu with all artists, with their albums as submenus and the tracks under. This is just so neat! Beware though, because Pre-XP versions of Windows don't have everything in unicode, the QuickTrack pull down menu for t.A.T.u.'s russian album would be displayed as "???? -> 200 ?? ????????? -> ? ????? ? ???" but this is a Windows Bug, nothing QCD Player can help.
Also another cool feature is it's ability to reencode files. While it would be totally stupid to convert MP3s to OGGs or vice-versa, the program can be used as a CD Player, unlike WinAmp where you change your output plugin to the DiskWriter, this one has a whole separate system called the Encoder Plugins which lets you write WAV files (Useful to make MP3s burnable to Audio-CDs) and there are also plugins to convert CD Tracks to MP3s or OGGs. So no messing around with other programs, an all in one thing.
Ogg files are like MP3s (Being audio files) except that they are of better quality. If you are familiar with what they call the bitrate of a file, then this should mean more to you. Try ripping your CD using the lowest quality setting for MP3s and they using the lowest quality for OGGs, while the use would be for portable player, it's amazing how OGGs are actually quite tolerable at 64kbps while MP3s start sounding like singing underwater at twice that!
