Thanks to all for the replies! Maybe I should have mentionned that my collection is comprised of more than 3400 CD (50700 "songs") converted in Apple Lossless. (In fact, I have more CD to rip, but my 1Tb disk is full and I wait (or try to wait) until big, cheap SS disks become available (hopefully in 2010).) Search is slow, but acceptable. What is really slow is scan, especially covers...
SO the need for a faster computer. "Generic" (non-apple) seems the more cost-effective solution to me. I can have a microtower with 2.5 MHz Intel Core2 duo, ASUS motherboard, 2Gb memory, 320G HD, GeForce 7050 256mb, DVD burner, 5.1 HD surround sound (not that I need this), etc, etc., for about the price of a used Mac Mini G4... But friends tell me that I am bitterly going to regret taking the PC route, that Windows XP is a piece of **** that dont works half of the time, very difficult to set, etc. On the other hand, millions of people do real work on Windows, no? So it must work with a OK stability, isnt it? Of course, there is the Linux or dedicated music box (vortex) way. Just some thoughts...
