Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.6.1190
"Pretty cool but has deal-breaker problems"
Pros: Awesome for cleaning and organizing a large media library. Integrates well with internet sites to get you good tag and other info. Other good thing for making your library perfect. Great if you have OCD or at the very least are anal. Good looking.
Cons: Locks up constantly on Vista 64 (new machine). Locks up the whole computer too (I didn't think that was even possible actually). Database errors all the time. Ties library to internal drive IDs, making moving and sharing difficult.
Summary: Unsure right now. If the thing would work properly I might consider toughing it out and getting it running off of a shared drive, but with all the lock-ups I'm not sure I want to continue with it. Its abilities and power are pretty sweet tho.
I've been using WinAmp since Version 2.0 (WinAmp's library is 10X better than iTunes or WMP). Somewhat forced to use iTunes, so I know about how much it blows as a media library. (If all you've ever tried is iTunes, get out and try something else for Pete's sake.) This library is even better than WinAmp. Way faster than iTunes, more flexible editing, organization and views. WinAmp is better looking, as it has 100X more Skinning capabilities.
Aside from the crashes and the stupidity of tying an internal hard drive ID to a song it is sweet. If you don't need that and your install runs smoothly, then I am jealous!
