What Manages Your Music?

I use 89X to manage my music (dont own an iPod)

I use iTunes at the rink for most of my music. It also runs my iPod when I need it. I also use phatnoise for some of my music, but its mostly used for updating my music keg.

I use slimserver to manage all of my music. It will find my itune libraries, allow me to create new ones if I want certain music on my ipod and directly connects to my media pc in my living room as well as all the squeezeboxes I have. Its all web-based so I can just log directly into the slim server and turn on or off whatever I want to listen to and setup playlists from anywhere (for instance if I'm planning a party and don't want to randomize 30K + songs, I can just setup the playlist from work while I have "free time")

If you guys haven't looked at squeezeboxes for your house, you should (especially if you have large collections of music as I do). Logitech just bought squeezebox about a year or 2 ago and they have put out some really new and kick butt equipment.

Any fee's for that? I might have to look into that when I get to work.

Nope, only fee is buying the squeezebox. I use this one:

but if I had the extra cash, I'd pick this up in a second (transporter)! I demo'd it for about a week and LOVED it! Much better than some far more expensive options I have tried out:

****, that looks sexay. I'm gonna have to price some of those out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The smaller ones can be had for about 225(if you get lucky) to 350 I believe retail. Just checked and the price went down.

The transporter on the other hand is, well, 1999.

I may get the duet next and its 399, looks NICE

WinAmp.

I do like winamp, but only because of how quickly you can go from music to **** LOL

 

[GearGuy2001 10+ year member]

Yeah I like winamp for music but I use VLC media Player for movies

 

[Lugnutzk 10+ year member]

I use Windows Media Player 9 basically because I like the toolbar embedded in the taskbar. Jetaudio also has a nice player.

WinAmp when I had my Sansa, but now that I have an iPod I use iTunes.
