You can get TWRP recovery through GooManager if you're rooted. No need for Odin.

Edit: Yeah, now you can boot into recovery and flash away!

Cm10.1 has been pretty good so far. No complaints really. I would recommend wiping data, cache and dalvik.

umm now i dnt have music player but i flash the gapps zip what can i do now?

 

[airtioteclint]

What rom did you flash and what gapps. I think all of them comes with a native music player but if not, just install one from the playstore.
