Munge, I use Mac and naturally I use the iTunes. I've never used EAC. But my understanding is that the EAC (Exact Audio Copy!) can do better job of copying problematic CDs. If I had a choice I'd go with EAC for that reason. But, having said that I don't really notice anything wrong

If you are using Slimserver 6.2: there's a thread about the decision to make Browse Music Folder use filenames instead of tags (check the Beta folder on this forum). This was, as I understand, chosen to make the BMF work faster. Because I also use BMF as main navigation, I decided to rename all
