Re: What do you use to manage your music?
I put all my music on a portable 500 GB Hard Drive (only used about 100 GB so far) and listen in the car. My car has bluetooth and I can play any track, artist or album by voice command. It's pretty sweet. On my computer's hard drive I have all the music in folders and use either itunes or Windows Media to play it. I don't really have a preference.

this.
I used to try and carry everything on my iPhone. Spotify is much more practical and I just download anything that spotify doesn't have onto the phone itself. Streaming some Dimmu Borgir on spotify at work at this very moment.

Re: What do you use to manage your music?
Like most things I own, my music is a horrific disorganized mess.
I don't even bother trying to organize it. I just pop 3 or 4 albums on my mp3 player and alternate them in and out.
I am not a luddite, I am a cheap SOB.

Re: What do you use to manage your music?
Well then I used iTunes and thought it was just fine. Organized it well enough for what I wanted.
Though at that time I was pretty anal abut my music would actually took the time to make sure artists and songs were spelled and grammatically correct. With iTunes it can take a little time but for what I wanted I certainly didn't mind.
I guess what I'm saying is it was fine for me but probably better options.

Man, you guys haven't converted your CD collection over to mp3's? I like having all my music available in one place so I can play it on the computer or in my car

Re: What do you use to manage your music?
I use iTunes, just makes things so easy, though I'm not too in love with their new search, I preferred how the results were filtered in the older versions.
Re: What do you use to manage your music?
Winamp. Been using it for like, 15(?) years now, and see no reason to change.
Misplaced priorities and squandered opportunities.
