itunes blows…IT IS SOOOOOO SLOW. i hate it. if you want to update IDE tags etc i would rather put a bullet in my head. then it does that crap with determining gapless playback. does this new one work with the touch?

I used to hate it but I am slowly starting to like it. The 64 bit version runs decent on my laptop.

I’ve used it for a few days now… i have had a few crashes… randomness. It seems to be slowing down, some of the addons cause crashes, and random songs don’t play…

I’ll say this: they are on to something good, but it does need more work.

I’ve been using Media Monkey. I find it does everything very well. [www.mediamonkey.com](http://www.mediamonkey.com)
