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.
