Re: Good and accessible alternative media player that organizes your music
+1 for Foobar 2000. I'm not sure what you mean by ad-on, if you mean an NVDA ad-on or JAWS scripts, you really don't need one as Foobar is all standard Windows controls. If you ment things like plugins to play other file formats or add effects, then yes, it has loads of those.
For shuffle, it has a couple of modes. You can either shuffle tracks, so it'll just play tracks in a random order, or you can shuffle by album at which point it'll shuffle through albums but play the tracks in the right order.
Foobar's library is also incredibly easy to use and powerful. You tell it what folders your music is in in the preferences, and then you can sort your music either by the usual tags like artist, album, genre and so on, or just by displaying the folder structure if your tags suck or you have a prefered way of organising music. Plus, you have the option to move files if you want to reorganize your music based on tags or rename your files, you can convert between different file formats, and rip CD's with the option to download song information from the internet.
The only thing which can be a bit confusing when you're starting out with foobar is that by default it doesn't have any keyboard shortcuts configured to control playback, so if you decide to try it out the first thing you'll want to do is head to the keyboard shortcuts section of preferences and configure them. Once you do that, you should be good to go.
