Managing a Huge Music Collection?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tracking-your-tunes dept.

subkid asks: "I've tried several different solutions to manage my music collection; iTunes, WinAmp playlists, visual MP3, and so forth. but none satisfy my idea of what I want. I have many thousand files and things are getting a bit out of hand. I like the functionality of iTunes but not the memory it uses. WinAmp uses less but makes finding the song I want is even harder. Things like musicbrainz.org help for making sure the songs are tagged properly but is there an all-in-one solution? How do you manage your large collection?"

    Am I the only one out here who's feeling awkward by the lack of an article to read? While posting I had the usual feeling that you have when you post as if you RTFA as you didn't, except that this time there was no TFA to read.

    I'm curious how the open-source iTunes rip-off performs on Windows. As you know on a mac iTunes is just "the sh!t" when it comes to managing music in a quick manner. Like MS Office for the Mac, iTunes on Windows is a total dog. So it'll be interesting to see if the iTunes rip off is snappy on windows.

    Also the andromeda script is handy when using a web interface to search+listen to your music.(It's at http://www.turnstyle.com/andromeda/ )
