Well yeah it's slower than WinAmp because WinAmp's GUI is smaller. Also iTunes can do a whole lot more than WinAmp can.

iLLogic, have you tried checking the "part of a compilation" button in the track info? It sorts those tracks under compilations/album name/track name, only downside is there's no artist folder.

about 60% of the music i have is organized and tagged... sometimes i add lyrics and pics to them (only if i listen to them often)

the gui for winamp is quite large. its just coded a lot cleaner and has a small footprint. it uses the resources as needed which isnt often. its just better at using its resources. even when playing DRM media or even videos its very quick and does very well. the winamp library is very good also.

do you have a lot of stuff that needs to be tagged? if so check out MP3 Tag Tools. its great. its what i have used for a few years now. does the job well.

Worst argument ever. I mean, what does that even mean?

I have a fuckload of music, but I'm sure that I've heard all of my music at least a couple of times, if not much much more.

Plus it's great to have a large collection to reference.

Innit. Also feels great that I will ALWAYS have something new to listen to.

Or the right piece for that certain mood or that certain day.

Ya, I have to disagree with ya Jamie. I understand if people say " you have too much music to listen too and you'll never listen to it all " but like distant said, he'll always have something new to listen too. I don't get a TON of music ALL at once and be over loaded with that I don't know where to start, I just gradually build up my collection.

never got to much music.

Posted by meDina on Mar-01-2007 00:26:

i have 49 songs on my computer

I do feel overwhelmed sometimes by the amount of music I have and trying to find time to listen to it all. I have a 250gb hard drive mostly full and racks and racks of cds. Problem is that I like so many genres of music and so many artists from each. It is nice though to be able to pull out a cd at any time that I haven't listen to in ages. Best part is when you have a large music collection, you'll always have a cd or song that fits whatever mood you're in.

I have one program that beats both Winamp and Itunes. Its called Media Monkey, look into it. Its not very pretty but you can completely customize it, you just need to know what youre doing. Itunes is good for a small library, Winamp is good for a medium size library, and Media Monkey is the best for a huge library. Like 150gigs+ the only downside is that it doesnt play movies, but hey, thats what VLC is for.
