This is my opinion for the PC only mind you.
Agree. I assume the tight integration of iTunes & QuickTime with OS-X does not transfer to iTunes & QuickTime with Windows. My conclusions did not include iTunes for the PC on the basis of the advice given in this thread. Back up? Definitely, at least twice in my case as I have the disk space anyway. It was built into the conclusions. Big advantages, IMHO and compared to iTunes, of SqueezeCenter are that it does not write to the library, ignores the folder structure and is read only except for playlists. I can see that library management is a potential problem with iTunes. Great when it works (as it has for me on my iMac) and if you are happy with its organisational logic, a disaster when it goes wrong. -- dBerriff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
