Apple Computer

… my library became so big that it was literally impossible to keep track of it all in a nice and orderly fashion. I’m currently at over 18,000 songs (110 GB) and iTunes is the best tool out there for managing such a large library.

My response: I completely agree with above post!

I will refrain from incriminating myself (revealing in a public forum how many mp3 songs I’m managing with iTunes). In any case, I am AMAZED how effortlessly iTunes handles my huge mp3 library. I have many more than 18,000 of mp3 songs!

Here’s what I like about iTunes after already having tried WinAMP, Roxio, Musicmatch Jukebox.

1) iTunes seems to have the biggest most comprehensive online music matching database. Almost every time iTunes finds the correct album and song info for the CD I’ve just popped in for ripping
2) downloadable album artwork from iTunes (resolution, color) album artwork, and a is good quality and pretty comprehensive library
3) More convenient to sort music using front end interface
4) very easy to rip CD’s into mp3’s – but you gotta set it to convert to MP3 instead of the stupid Apple proprietary format.
5) I love the albumflow interface that lets one “spin” through a visual jukebox of your album covers to choose something to play.
6) I love the ability to modify any field of multiple MP3 album/song info at the same time. You can select all songs in 10 different albums and edit any fields all at once

[quote=temeculaguy]I am a recent convert but haven’t made the jump to their computers yet. I freaking love my iphone 3G, I can’t say enough about it and I’m never going back to blackberry/palm or other phones. I don’t even want to look at macs because I know i’ll want one and they are considerably more expensive. I understand why people love their macs, if my computer was as ingenius and innovative as my phone (while being more user friendly and reliable) then I’ll never look back and become a mac person, and I’ll pay through the nose. I am going to hold off as long as I can.[/quote]

I guess I am different comparing to all of your guys, because up until now nobody mentions iPad, which is the only product that I love from Apple. I own/use iPod but I really prefer to use cheap no-name generic MP3 players because I really hate iTune. I use iPhone 4 at work but I see no extra premium value that it should be charging comparing to the HTC smartphone that I have. I have been using mac mini as well and I really like Mac air if they can half their price, but I won’t convert all my PCs to mac. I am pretty sure lots of software that I use routinely doesn’t have a mac version. On top of that, Ubuntu is more straightforward in their configuration and I don’t really like the GUI wrapped around the unix OS by Apple.

But iPad is really really cool. It is lightweight and the competition has not caught up with it (except eepad transformer was rumored to be good, but I couldn’t find one in store. Bestbuy only carries it online). I went to Apple store to buy another iPad yesterday and was told it was still out of stock. The sales person says that they couldn’t order the iPad but get whatever was shipped to them and people buy whatever version is available. If one is in the computer business, that’s the market position you want to lock yourself in.

I finally decided to buy an iPad2 (very reluctantly because Apple doesn’t have competition at a lower price). I need the battery life to use it on the plane.

I recommend this company. They are located in Oregon, they sell for the same price as Apple, free ship and no sales taxes. Had to wait 2 weeks.
