Well...
iTunes does ok as long as you don't have a library with 43x4 CD set of
J.S. Bach music + thousands of other things.
And then to a new question...
Have anyone here tried Amaroc, on the mac or what the player is called?
The great with this one, is that it takes all kind of media, mp3, aac,
ogg, flac and so on.
There is one mor player wich I don't remember that also take this formats.
This players has a better way to deal with the library, namely a built
in SQL-database wich makes it faster when you have too much music :)

on the other hand, thousands of us are using it with few problems. We
are using external drives, mounted and not mounted, all kinds of ipods
and multiple libraries. Go figure. I can't believe how easy and
accessible it is other than a couple of rough spots.

over half an hour while two of my sighted siblings struggled in vain to
locate an audiobook that my brother imported into ITunes so he could get
it to the nanno he got for christmas. And that's not even getting into
what happens when Itunes loads with network or external drives not
mounted, and what it does if you plug in more than one IPod without
custom libraries, or...
It's the most horrible piece of software I've ever used in my life and
the hell of it is, it's 100% accessible, lol.

I love it that ITunes puts everything I open in the library. The
neatest thing about it is that you cn have it not copy the files to
the itunes music folder so if you want, you can just delete the
entry. I see no advantage of using any other player. I doubt
anything but ITunes will read the ITunes library.

Thanks so much.
That helped a lot...
It's irritating that iTunes adds everything one open into the library.
So now it will be better.
But another VLC-related question...Can one get VLC to read the
iTunes-library in the newest "stable" version of VLC?

Hi David,
You can do this from within get info. Hit command-I on an mp3 file.
Interact with the scroll area if you're using Leopard (as far as I
recall this step wasn't necessary in tiger). Use VO navigation, the
item chooser, or whatever method you prefer to find the open with
section. If you've never modified your settings, this will probably
be set to iTunes. Whatever the selection is currently, it'll be a pop
up menu, so hit space on that and use your arrows to scroll up or down
to VLC. VO right a few times from there until you get to change all,
the OS will bring up a dialog confirming you really want to do that,
and once you confirm it you should be in business.
Hth, let us know if you run in to any issues.

Hello guys
Can someone help me a bit here...
I'd like to set VLC as the default player for mp3-files.
I tried to use the context menu and click on the "always open with this
application" or what it is in english. That don't work :(
Is ther other ways to get it work?
