Alternatives to iTunes

[Jason36]

I have just received a new laptop and want to update my iPod etc using this and maybe even play tunes via my stereo system......Before I download iTunes I wanted to check whether there are any other music management systems that are better / easier to use / offer more functionality than iTunes.

Thanks guys.

MediaMonkey is good and can manage your ipod too.

Thanks VoodooDoctor, All my files are saved as apple lossless is this compatable with media monkey or will I have to transfer them to FLAC or similar?

MediaMonkey plays Apple Lossless, no problem. It's what I have all my music stored as.

For buying tracks don't forget eMusic (for VFM) and HDTracks (for quality). The latter is great for feeding my obsession with the ECM jazz label.

Hi Doc. Do you manage an ipod with MM? Is it any good?

Thanks.
