Vincent, I am also moving away from iTunes. Last week I bought dbPoweramp - http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ - to re-rip everything in FLAC. Mp3tag - http://www.mp3tag.de/- is the best tagger around. Right now I'm about to download FooBar - http://www.foobar2000.org/ - and try it as a library manager/local player.
I also use Music IP - http://www.musicip.com/ - with SlimServer. MIP playlists are read automatically by Slimserver and MIP also provides advanced creation of mixes based on a nominated song. (Lots of threads on Music IP, for example http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270) The main issue (as I see it) in moving from iTunes is deciding on the directory structure for your library of ripped CDs. I have adopted the iTunes model - Library, Artist, Album, tracks. MIP allows you to easily use several libraries, enabling me to have a Classical library and several others based on the source of the CDs. dbPoweramp is easily configured to any library structure. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48280 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
