Cool Music Player

I lost all of my music a few month ago when my computer crashed and I had to re-install windows ect.
I only have WIN Media Player at the moment and dont like the way it stores the music on my computer.
So I changed all the folder names so I had for example: 1 folder called The Verve, and inside it had all the tracks listed.
I did this with all the music on my PC and now Media Player wont play the tracks.
So what I am looking for is a music player not Winamp or Real Player to play all music file types and have an easy to use format which lists all of my albums.

What format is the music file?
Are you trying to load up the files from a playlist or are u trying to load from the filenames themselves? When you change the folder name, the playlist files become useless.

Especially with the new WMP, I find that its rather redundant to have any other player, and so avoid them, especially at the risk of having more (we all know about WMP's spying) spyware or ad-pushers. Most players will play pretty much all non-proprietary formats (stuff like CDa, WAV, MP3, MIDI, etc) just fine. Before I switched to WMP I used stuff like www.freeamp.org or http://sonique.lycos.com/
