Okay, I have over 300 GiB of MP3/OGG/AAC (all ripped personally using 4 machines), iTunes absolutely CHOKES on that collection. SlimServer/SliMP3 crunches and crunches... but does make it through. Rhythmbox also pukes. Windows Media Player doesn't even make it past the "Starting with a Number" directories. Easytag, works exceptionally well on this collection. > I use easytag from experimental and while it is a nice program, if it > reorganized the "music library" in a way that iTunes does would be simply > amazing.

I only use Slim* to stream all my stuff... and then XMMS or Rhythmbox to play the stream. > And some things are just easier on a Mac.
