I'm dual ripping my music collection (flac and lame), and plan on using

music, so compatibility with their store isn't a concern.

MediaMonkey supports the iPod, but not the v2 firmware for the
iPhone/iTouch.

My favorite itunes feature is when connecting an ipod to new machine and
it erases all your music so it can synch up with your PC. Nice
feature.
I use Napster for unlimited music downloads at $12.95 a month while
itunes charges $.99 per song (same extensive libarary as itunes). At

I use foobar2000 sometimes, but as much as itunes annoys me its still
the best option if you also like videos and podcasts.

I agree that MM is a good music managerhave been using it for a
couple of years. HOWEVER, the real question is whether it/they can get
it to work with v 2 firmware on my iTouch. I was lucky enough to read
that you can't update the firmware and continue to use MM. I sense

Can anyone recommend anything for mac?
My library is getting quite large now and iTunes takes a age when I
import files and change mp3 tags.

I use Tunebite too for converting files, removing DRM and for
downloading musics from internet for free and legally. It's very
interesting as I don't have to buy music anymore :D You can take a look
at it here:

There are lots of alternatives to iTunes, but before you jump ship you
might want to just investigate the cause of this problem first since
this *shouldn't* be happening. I've been using iTunes to manage my
large Squeezebox music collection for a couple of years and have never
had any trouble wit
By syncing with a portable player I assume you are talking about an iPod
? If this is the case iTunes is the easiest way to get this to work.
There are a number of plugins available related to ratings, smart
playlists and iTunes, but as long as you are setting the ratings only
on the portable pla
Media Monkey is what I use as my PC based player as I like its interface
and its way of handling the library. It can also manage Ipod synch. I
don't use if for that though as I synch with that using a Macbook (my
PC based files are FLAC and are for playing trhough a streamer or PC
only).
