I doon't have to re-record anything, when I installed the software, low and behold, it asked me if I wanted to copy my mp3s to my iTunes library. In a few minutes, I was up and running.
So far the software looks like it's easier to use and more reliable, but doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as MusicMatch - no great loss really.
I have one gripe - playing albums. In MM you can drag an album name to the playlist and it plays all the songs on the album, albeit you have to take the additional step of reordering them in the original sequence else it plays them in alphabetical order (??). In iTunes you have to go to Edit/Browser and double click the album in the browser, which is no huge deal except that the music is played in some random, unchangeable order and the songs overlap (???).
Speaking of albums. I know many people don't like buying whole albums because they don't want to pay for a lot of filler they'll never listen to. By the same token, I like to listen to whole albums in allot of cases - there are just some albums that play well.
So I wonder in this new age of downloading music a song at a time and consolidating it all on one piece of media if the album format will begin to disappear. In many cases this wouldn't be a bad thing, but in others it would be a real shame. IMO, of course...
