Welcome to the Mac side, most people I know who have switched have never looked back. Your computer usage in general will be more pleasant. However the dominance of iTunes and Apple's maddeningly stubborn refusal to support the common open standard FLAC format is very annoying and problematic. (To the guy above: THIS is the main reason iTunes sucks.)
Squeezebox Server works great on Mac, and I think XLD is fine for ripping. I still tag everything with Foobar2000 in Windows under Parallels. It's about the only thing I do in Windows. There's nothing like it for ultimate user control, scripts, etc. Most importantly, if like me you download a lot of not commercially released live show recordings, the Live Show Tagger plugin for Foobar is invaluable for automating the process. -- bephillips More than 43,663 songs on 4,141 albums by 1,217 artists.
